BARBOSA, Jéssica Ulisses et al. ANALOGIES FOR TEACHING BIOCHEMISTRY IN HIGH SCHOOL. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.1, pp.195-208. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172012140113.

The article aims to present a proposal for addressing issues of Bio chemistry in high school by means of analogies, and assess the relevance of such a proposal from the students' written comments. The project "ExpoBiochimica: Un derstanding Biochemical Phenomena through Analogies " was developed at the Fed eral University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ). The presentation of the issues associated with biochemical analog was given daily through dashboards. The material produced, involving eight subjects was exposed in public schools by the undergraduate students of Biological Sciences and Chemistry UFSJ. The comments made by high school students are discussed in the article, featuring a positive evaluation of the use of analogies for teaching and learning of biochemical content.

Keywords : Biochemistry teaching; analogies; high school..
