Abstract

This work is a qualitative research applied to students in the 2nd and 3rd years of high school at the Military Police School (CPM) Professor Poeta Luís Neves Cotrim in the city of Jequié-BA, conducted by CAPES scholarship recipients included in the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (PIBID) of the Chemistry Teaching degree at the State University of Southwest Bahia-UESB. This article was developed after the implementation of activities prepared by PIBID scholarship recipients on forensic chemistry and some techniques developed by experts in their workplace. The realization of these workshops allowed the application of a survey questionnaire with 9 (nine) open and closed-ended questions, which aimed to analyze how topics related to forensic chemistry contributed to students' learning during high school. Thus, after the completion of the workshops, which were divided into 3 (three) moments, this questionnaire was applied to certify what knowledge students were able to acquire during the activities, concluding that forensic chemistry is an excellent proposal for didactic workshops. From the analysis of the questionnaire applied to students, the positive aspects of the addressed theme can be verified. Forensic chemistry has become an assisting tool to contextualize the contents that are frequently seen in the classroom. Furthermore, the encouragement it provides favors the understanding of recurrent situations that can be discussed during the course's content.
