A padaria, um laboratório de Química nada convencional: uma experiência educativa no ensino médio

Abstract

The physicochemical phenomena that occur in the preparation of foods, including the bread-making process are numerous and can serve as a context for the study of the chemical and physical changes involved. This paper analyses the bread-making process as a theme to teach Chemistry focusing on research as educative principle to promote learning. High-school students were taken to a bakery laboratory built at their school, with financial support provided by FAPESB, to study Chemistry in an investigative way. A study group whose members were the school teachers and professors and students on a training program from UESB developed qualitative research on the proposal. The aim was to build a teaching methodology to contribute to the formation of more critical and creative citizens, who could view.
