Air pollution as a proposal for chemistry teaching

Abstract

The increase in air pollution has caused harmful effects on fauna, flora and changes in biogeochemical cycles, making it crucial to raise society's awareness in mitigating and reducing these pollutants in the air. In this way, environmental awareness during basic education through Chemistry has become decisive for the social formation of the entire community. The objective of this work was to apply an interdisciplinary approach to the Teaching of Chemistry in basic education, through a thematic workshop using the Plickers platform as a complementary technological resource for the application of questionnaires. In addition, a gamification (board game) was carried out to promote teaching in a more interactive, dynamic and relaxed way, arousing greater interest among students. Finally, the results obtained helped in the teaching-learning process, highlighting new skills of the students that are often omitted in traditional teaching.
