Uma Proposta do uso da Astrobiologia como motivação para o ensino de Ciências nos ensinos fundamental e médio

Abstract

The teaching of astrobiology for middle and elementary school is interesting because it is a subject in which it is possible to correlate various subjects that are the object of study in school. In this work we will propose the use of astrobiology to introduce some science subjects taught in the school. For the purpose, firstly, a theoretical foundation will be presented addressing issues that were important for the creation of Astrobiology and also some relevant research areas within this science. After this stage a compilation of subjects that are recurrent within Astrobiology and that can be taught in elementary or high school will be made. The relevance of these subjects to astrobiology will also be addressed to serve as a motivational resource for the learning of the respective discipline. Thus, it is intended, with this work, to offer the teacher a way to present scientific themes approached in elementary and high school so that students can provide a more solid educational background.
