Abstract

This work has as general objective to analyze the contributions of Science teaching to Early Childhood Education based on experiences during a supervised internship in a kindergarten 2 class at an Early Childhood Education Center located in the city of Fortaleza. The specific objectives of this study are to understand how Natural Sciences teaching takes place in Early Childhood Education, highlighting the importance of active learning and investigative play in this process; as well as aims to analyze an experience in a supervised internship in Early Childhood Education, describing the experiences and strategies used to teach Natural Sciences to very young children. The methodology adopted to carry out this study is bibliographical research, with the aim of analyzing the topic in question in depth, in addition to a narrative of experience based on the report prepared during the supervised internship. To support the analysis, the works of authors such as Craidy and Kaercher (2001) and Kishimoto (2010), who discuss the importance of Early Childhood Education were used, as well as essential documents for reflection on the topic, such as the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (1996) and the National Common Curricular Base (2018).
