The present monograph addresses the theme Environmental Education in the Teaching of
Chemistry with the objective of investigating, in a qualitative way, how the teaching of
chemistry is articulated to environmental education through the formulation of natural
pesticides. Thus, the research methodology consists of a literature review with a qualitative
approach, using a quantitative of three articles comprised in a period of ten years (2008, 2017
and 2018), which were analyzed with emphasis on the strategies used by the authors to link
the teaching of chemistry and environmental education through the proposal developed. The
results showed that the formulation of natural pesticides is an excellent strategy to link the
teaching of chemistry and environmental education, as it allows a contextualized,
interdisciplinary teaching and the use of an investigative experimentation with the
valorization of natural products. Besides the environmental approach through contemporary
issues, the development of a natural pesticide is the answer to the socio-environmental
problem raised in each article, which further enriches this proposal, because it allows the
formation of a researcher student, critical and participatory in society. Thus, it is hoped that
this work will contribute preponderantly to pedagogical practices focused on the formulation
of natural pesticides as a tool for articulation between the teaching of chemistry and
environmental education.
