Over the years, science teaching has dedicated time and attention to studies related to the
teaching-learning process, as many students have difficulty with some contents in this area of
knowledge. In this context, the content of the Insecta class is also inserted, which is still seen
in the classrooms in a negative way about human life, a reason that may be related to the fact
that they are unable to relate what is learned at school with everyday life. Therefore, the
objective of this work was to elaborate a didactic resource in order to facilitate the assimilation
of the content of this class, in order to reduce the existing barriers that hinder the teachinglearning process of science in the Afro Amazonian school, Quilombo Murumuru, Santarém -
PA. In view of this, the didactic material was made in the form of a “handmade entomological
basket” from natural resources extracted from the quilombola community in which the research
was carried out, as well as straw and thorns from the tucumanzeiro palm. Such structuring
aimed to provide students and teachers with pedagogical material focused on the local reality
in which the school is inserted. The research was of a qualitative-quantitative nature applied to
a regular class of the 7th grade of elementary school. Data were collected through two
questionnaires applied to the students, as well as to the subject's teacher, and analyzed in a
comparative way through graphs and groups in tables. The resource proved to be effective for
science teaching so that it was verified after the data analysis that the assimilation of the content
referring to the external morphology of the Insecta class was successful after the intervention
of the activity using the "Entomological Basket". In addition, its use proved to be viable in the
perception of the questioned teacher, especially in relation to making with local faunal
resources, as well as floristic. In view of this, the didactic material entitled “Handmade
Entomological Basket” is an alternative for teaching and learning science in the quilombola
school.
