Promoviendo la Conciencia Ambiental: Una Cartilla Educativa para Introducir la Enseñanza de la Calidad del Agua de las Lagunas de Salvador en el Currículo de Ciencias

Resumen

Lake environments play a crucial role in environmental education due to their multifaceted relevance, making them essential for contextual and interdisciplinary learning in basic education. This work proposes the integration of Lagoa do Dinossauros (Salvador-BA) into the Science curriculum, focusing on its application in basic education schools located in its surroundings. The initial study involved a detailed analysis to characterize the environmental quality of the lagoon, providing the basis for the production of an educational booklet. This booklet covers five approaches that combine theoretical and practical activities, exploring the importance of lagoons, the dynamics of the food web, interrelationships with the environment and public health, in addition to encouraging the development of projects for the recovery of lagoons. Prepared based on the National Curricular Parameters (PCN) for the teaching of natural sciences and adapted to the thematic units of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), this material offers a strong theoretical and methodological basis for continued Environmental Education, establishing an enriching dialogue with science teaching in this specific context.
