DEVELOPING A PERIODIC TABLE AND A DIDACTIC GAME FROM ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS: METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSALS FOR SCIENCE TEACHING
Journal Title: Periódico Tchê Química - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 27
Abstract
Students since Elementary School struggle in understanding contents related to periodic table and its properties. This topic has been frequently discussed in the academic environment. In this context, this study aimed to elaborate a periodic table with alternative materials, as well as the application of a teaching game, which covers the periodic properties to students from Elementary School of a municipal school located at Duque Bacelar City, Maranhão State. Initially, a questionnaire with open questions was applied in order to characterize the students profile and to evaluate previous knowledge. Following this, it was performed alongside the students a bibliographic research with a purpose of collecting information needed to the elaboration of these activities. The methodological proposals made possible to students the opportunity to experience a differentiated class, learning concepts about chemical elements in a dynamic way, as well understanding the position of each element in the periodic table. Additionally, these activities showed a good alternative to science teaching, once the students were more interested and motivated in studying science. This also changed the school environment to a playful environment, favoring the interaction student/teacher and student/student.
