This article is part of the dissertation presented at Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática at the Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS/PPGECIMA). The search took place in a urban-rural public school alagoana, whose methodological approach involved a Case (SÁ; Queiroz, 2010) written to reflect about the scarcity of Cattail (Typha domingensis), herbaceous and perennial plant found in swamps near the city of Penedo. The objective was to study the possibilities and limitations of the insertion of the craft, as social theme, to promote the teaching/learning of Sciences/Chemistry, in addition to checking the decision-making capacity of students facing a problem of relevance for the community. A questionnaire was applied to lift the prints that students brought about the craft, followed by the presentation of the case (CS) and questions about the social, economic and environmental implications related to the disappearance of the vegetable in the the region's ecosystem. Our analysis, based in Bardin (1977), has shown that the traditional teaching, rationalist, mechanistic, with memorization of formulas and content (DA SILVA, 2016) hinders that apprentices exercise orality and build more consistent texts, comprehensive and reflective. In this sense, the study presents itself as an alternative for teachers and students, is to break with the banking education (FREIRE, 1997) and/or exercising citizenship (DEMO, 1995, 2007), using the contextualization (WARTHA et al., 2013) and STS (Science, Techonology and Society) approach (SILVA; DE CARVALHO, 2016) to support the main aspects of the CS.

Keywords : Teaching Science; Crafts; Case.
