Cerveja como tema gerador de uma sequência didática para o ensino de Química

Abstract

The objective of this research was to explore beer production as a thematic axis for teaching Chemistry, aiming to provide a contextualized learning of chemical concepts. Beer is widely known for its consumption, but in general, little is disclosed about its origin and composition. The proposed investigation focused on the beer production process as a generating theme for teaching Chemistry, using its history and production techniques as a basis for building chemical knowledge in the classroom. To achieve this goal, a bibliographic research was conducted, which supported the development and implementation of a Didactic Sequence guided by the central theme. This sequence, based on the characteristics and production process of beer, sought to connect the teaching of Chemistry to students' daily lives, using a familiar theme to spark interest and facilitate learning. It was concluded that the study of beer, as a product of chemical transformations, is an effective approach to promoting contextualized learning of Chemistry content in High School.
