Abstract:

This project refers to the constant concerns of those who are concerned with education, specifically, teaching practice regarding the use of teaching resources. Thus, the work aims to build teaching materials using as a raw material the buriti petiole as well as its products.The project was developed based on a literary review focusing on action research. 15 schools, 32 teachers and 350 students participated in the project. The practical part of the project started with cutting the material (petiole of the buriti), removing the bark and drying it in an oven. After cutting and drying, the stems were prepared for the production of teaching materials. The materials produced were: anatomical models of the human body; cells; food chain game among others. In the evaluation, the anatomical pieces were the ones that had the highest approval by teachers in 80%, whereas for students it was the game of the food chain 45%. Among the anatomical pieces, the skeleton had the highest appreciation by teachers 77%, while the kidneys drew more attention from students 48%. For the parents, the digestive system was 38%. Thus, materials constructed with buriti stalk become a mediating tool between biodiversity and the possibility of learning from natural resources.
