Scientific literacy; CTS; construction of knowledge.
Every day the educational process in which the teacher thinks and performs the activities of
lonely, disconnected way of the reality that his is inserted class is strongly refuted while
presenting ways in which the teaching activity starts to be built collectively and form
participatory. In seeking to break the historical process in which the student fits offered
educational model we have the figure of reflective teacher who evaluates your practice and
seeks ways to tailor the curriculum to your school needs of their students and the society in
which they live. Thus, thinking education collectively constructed and coherent with the
world around us have different experiences in which teachers break the physical walls,
epistemological, cultural and educational traditional classrooms and innovate to offer their
students empirical processes in their they actively participate in the educational process. This
break made of a planned walls, performed in a participatory manner and assessed collectively,
can ensure rich moments of interaction between all participants in the educational process.
The teacher's role in mediating the educational process must be supported by a solid training
that provide technical and pedagogical support, affective, social and human to work the
specific contents of playful, attractive and consistent with the reality that their students are
inserted . In this perspective, this paper aims to propose scientific literacy moments from
chemical experiments. Thus, we performed a bibliographic study that discusses the issue in
question and apply an educational workshop in a class of 5th grade elementary school in a
school State education network of Rio Grande do Norte. The results are encouraging and
show the possibilities of promoting scientific literacy processes in the initial series of basic
education.
