SUMMARY:

The research is a proposal to encourage 5th-grade students to understand the importance of the sustainable use of Cerrado plants and the need for preservation for current and future generations. This work was part of a research project for the Professional master’s degree in teaching environmental sciences at the University of Brasília (UnB), Darcy Ribeiro campus. This research was developed at the São Francisco de Assis Educational Center, located in the city of Palmas/TO, where the researcher is a teacher. The general objective of the research was to understand whether students' perception of the Cerrado can be changed with a didactic sequence. The methodology applied was participant research, and the students involved played a key role in its development. To this end, the didactic sequence carried out with the students brought tools used in active methods such as didactic games; debates on subjects relevant to the theme; and making handicraft products (from Cerrado plants). The didactic sequence carried out in this research was divided into five modules: in three of these modules, students made creative productions; and, in the last module, they made products made from the raw material of three typical Cerrado plants in the laboratory. It is imperative to emphasize that this research obtained results that demonstrate that the students were able to: experience teamwork; interact with the environment through learning about the Cerrado biome and contact in practice with products made by them. Finally, it is considered that the adoption of Cerrado plants as a didactic-pedagogical component proved to be an alternative that can provide meaningful learning, interaction with the environment, and the possibility of using its resources in a sustainable way.
