Currently, the world has many problems related to pollution, one of them is the
inadequate waste disposal, which ends up generating many problems for society, the
environment, the fauna and the flora. For this reason, a reflection on the strategies
used in classroom science teaching with regard to materials recycling is important, as
today’s students will be the future of society and need to have a more environmental
awareness so that take better care of the planet. Thus, this research had as its main
objective to sensitize the students of the 6th grade about the waste produced by them,
and to transform this waste into products such as toys and handicrafts. It was held at
the Paula Ângela Francinetti State school, located in the south of Manaus – AM.
Therefore, a methodology of this study was based on the theoretical exposition
classes, involving issues inherent to the theme, then groups were created for making
crafts and toys, from recyclable materials that were previously wasted in everyday life
for use presented in the workshop. Initially, we applied a previous questionnaire
about student’s knowledge about basic questions: what is garbage? What is selective
collection? Later it took place in a laboratory in which students exposed their
confections and commented on the respect of which materials were reused and how
important this process was. At the end of the workshop, a questionnaire is applied
with questions on all subjects covered in the lectures, also conducted a qualitative
assessment in which you should analyze the ideas of students after the teaching learning process on the developed theme. This study indicated results that reaffirm
the effectiveness of theoretical and practical exposition in the process of teaching
and learning in science, highlighting the form, which is the importance of using
practices in science education.
