The present study has as its theme the use of didactic resources in the teaching of
biofuels and fossil fuels in basic education, where it sought to answer the following
problem: What didactic resources have been used in basic education to teach the
topic Biofuels? It started from the assumption that, given the environmental and
energy crisis that we are experiencing, the discussion on how these themes have
been addressed in basic education becomes of paramount importance. And,
considering what the legal documents for teaching and the pertinent literature
recommend, it is essential that such teaching be organized so that didactic resources
and differentiated teaching methodologies can support it. As a general objective, we
sought to verify in the literature the didactic resources that have been used in basic
education for teaching the topic of biofuels as components of the teaching of Natural
Sciences. And, as specific objectives, there are: 1. Discuss about the importance of
teaching biofuels and fossil fuels in basic education, in the context of science
teaching; 2. Check how the topic of biofuels is addressed in the legal documents that
guide the teaching of Natural Sciences; 3 Present the didactic resources observed in
the selected scientific productions on the teaching of biofuels in basic education. This
is an exploratory research of a bibliographic nature, carried out in searches of
scientific databases. The results indicate a lack of academic publications relevant to
the subject, especially those directed to the teaching of Natural Sciences in
Elementary School. Furthermore, it was found that the research carried out with high
school students made use of various didactic resources inserted in didactic
sequences, such as videos, models, prototypes, in addition to other strategies such
as experimental activities. It is hoped that this research can raise new reflections
about the importance of discussing the topic of biofuels in basic education, as well as
the importance of teacher planning in their teaching practice, so that resources and
didactic strategies can be included that can enhance learning
