SOUZA, Sandra Aparecida de Oliveira y ANDRADE, Maria de Fátima Ramos. Practical Activities and Science teaching in the Elementary School final years. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.51, pp.249-268. Epub 24-Oct-2019. ISSN 2318-1982. https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v24i51.1169.
Practical activities can contribute in an engaging and meaningful way to the effectiveness in the process of teaching and learning Science. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze how science teachers conceive the use of practical activities in their classes and which strategies. In order to accomplish this research, we decide for a qualitative research (particularly a case study) in which we followed, through the observation of the classes and semi-structured interviews, the work of four Science teachers from a full-time public school, located in the city of Sao Paulo. For such purpose, we focused our study on the literary review which congregates the teaching of Science in a historical and social perspective; training and teaching practice in the area of Science; and the concept of practical activities. The acquired results demonstrated that, according to those teachers, the practical activities are important to stimulate observation and curiosity, allowing contents greater understanding and scientific learning improvement.
