Science teaching in basic education - Issue 242-52 - unveil the nervous system through primers and mental maps

Aug 26, 2026

Objective: report experiences among authors on tutoring Module 3 during the 2022 EAD course. Method: the course combined synchronous and asynchronous activities for basic-education teachers and undergraduate students (October–November 2022), culminating in the production of a booklet containing mental maps, themes, and strategies used as teaching materials for Elementary School II. Results: a booklet titled “The consequences of alcohol consumption on the nervous system,” developed with teachers from two basic schools, links nervous-system anatomophysiology with alcohol effects. Conclusion: the initiative promoted student awareness of alcohol’s negative impacts and supported youth prevention and science popularization.

Método: Este curso com atividades síncronas e assíncronas, para professores da educação básica e estudantes de graduação, foi realizado em outubro e novembro, do ano de 2022 e culminou na construção de uma cartilha com mapas mentais, temas e estratégiastrabalhados durante o curso como materiais pedagógicos para o ensino fundamental II. Resultados: A cartilha intitulada: as consequências do consumo de álcool ao sistema nervoso, teve como parceria professores de duas escolas básicas. Esta apresenta informações anatomofisiológicas a respeito do funcionamento do sistema nervoso e o álcool. A temática explica como o funcionamento do sistema nervoso pode ser afetado pelo uso de bebidas alcoólicas; compreensão das alterações causadas ao funcionamento do sistema nervoso pela ingestão de álcool e instrumentalização dos professores commais um recurso pedagógico. Conclusão: Dessa forma, foi possível a promoção da sensibilização dosestudantes quanto aos aspectos negativos do uso de bebidas alcoólicas. Assim como, prevenção nos jovens quanto ao seu uso indiscriminado, colaborando com a popularização da ciência. Descritores: Ensino de Ciências; Sistema Nervoso; Cartilhas; Mapas mentais; Álcool.
