The Amazon Forest Biome, for many, is renowned for its rich waters and biodiversity. However,
this immense diversity has undergone serious transformations, resulting from deforestation for
soybean cultivation and pasture formation for the production of beef, leading to loss of species
and changes in the climate of the whole of Brazil. And although the students of the city of
Manaus are inserted in this context, research indicates that they know little about the dynamics
that surround the Amazon Forest Biome. In order to carry out the research, the question of the
dynamics of this biome has been problematized more specifically what the students know about
the characteristics, importance of fauna and flora, and physical-chemical-biological processes
that occur in the forest. The research aims to verify the knowledge of the students of the 3rd
year of high school in relation to the content "Biome Forest Amazon", before and after this
content is worked in the classroom. The methodological procedures used for the development
of the research consisted of bibliographical surveys, composed of books, articles, dissertations.
Analysis of the didactic book used in the classroom and two questionnaires were applied to the
students, with semi structured questions, one before and another after the classes. Theoretical
classes were held in dialogue. Thus, it is well known that after making a survey about previous
knowledge to serve as a basis for the classes taught in order to teach about the dynamics of the
Amazon Forest Biome, the questionnaire after such classes showed a progress in the level of
environmental sensitivity.
