SUMMARY:

The Coronavirus seems not to be the only villain of recent years. There is an increasing and constant mass release of pesticides in Brazil - some of which have never been used before. This reality brings to light countless reflections and important considerations, mainly focused on the teaching of Science in schools. Forming a scientifically literate student who is able to act and transform the various dimensions of his society is not, by far, a simple and quick task, but it can be facilitated with the use of Socio-Scientific Questions. This research also aims to: 1) Plan, apply and validate an Investigative Didactic Sequence (SDI) involving QSCs on pesticides; 2) Analyze and evaluate how the use of QSCs on pesticides can contribute to scientifically literate students, helping in critical reflection and decision making. The didactic sequence was applied in a class of 33 students of elementary school II (6th year) of a state school in João Pessoa/PB. The results, initially analyzed by a questionnaire of previous knowledge, reveal the little (or no) knowledge of the students with the acute and chronic harm of pesticides, as well as the lack of argumentation and critical thinking on the subject. After the didactic sequence, there is a clear improvement in the students' performance, especially in argumentation, orality and the use of a more scientific language. It is understood that the use of QSC on pesticides, in this case, allowed a significant improvement in the promotion of scientific literacy of these students, contributing to their growth as a critical and active citizen in today's society.
