Uso da caixa entomológica para o estudo da morfologia externa dos insetos

Abstract

This work was developed with the intention of working together with 7th grade students of the elementary school the importance that the study of the morphology of insects contributes to the teaching of science through their anatomical structures. With expository classes in the classroom, they were able to observe, through images, all the structures present in insects, however, the use of non-formal space was of great relevance in this work, since removing students from the classroom and taking them to another environment, aroused significant interest in relation to the work proposed to them, which in the case in question was the construction of the entomological box for the study of the external morphology of insects, these animals being collected by the students themselves in the outdoor area belonging to the school domains , since over time science teaching at school has been done systematically making it repetitive and tiring.
