Pesticides, also known as pesticides or agrochemicals, are used to combat agents that damage plant growth and production. However, excessive use of the chemical substances in their composition can cause some harm to human health and the environment. Although this information is publicized, it does not clarify the effects it has on people who handle pesticides and consume contaminated products. The aim of this study is therefore to propose methodological strategies for introducing the subject into the high school curriculum, through the subject of chemistry. After a literature review to conceptually situate the CTS (Science, Technology and Society) approach in the subject in focus, we propose a didactic sequence based on the three pedagogical moments proposed by Delizoicov and Angotti (1990). With this initiative, we aim to encourage the formation of critical citizens who are committed to the society in which they live.
