Modelagem tridimensional de borboletas (lepidoptera) como método didático para o ensino de Zoologia

Abstract

The study of insects is part of the content addressed in the disciplines of Natural Sciences. The group is one of the greatest living beings. Butterflies are very numerous insects, besides having different shapes, sizes, colors, behaviors and habits. They form the order Lepidoptera from the Greek lepi, "flake", and ptero, "wing". The objective of the present work was to evaluate the students through the three dimensional didactic models of Lepidoptera (butterflies), aiming at a greater learning of the content developed in the classroom for the teaching of Zoology. From the results observed with the development of this work it is confirmed the importance of practical classes in science teaching, since the identification of insects through three-dimensional modeling provided the participation and interest of the students. The practice is of great importance for the formation of concepts and student development, can be applied by the teacher in a demonstrative class or be constructed by students from other materials, according to the creativity of those involved in the process
