Este estudo parte da problematização sobre as possibilidades de se ensinar em sala de aula, o conteúdo químico de Soluções, relacionado ao cotidiano dos alunos, de forma a proporcionar a Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica (ACT) por meio do enfoque Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade (CTS). O objetivo geral desta pesquisa consiste em desenvolver e analisar o ensino do conteúdo químico Soluções relacionando-o ao cotidiano dos alunos por meio do enfoque CTS contribuindo para a Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica (ACT). O estudo foi desenvolvido com 55 alunos, da 2ª série do Ensino Médio, do curso Técnico em Agropecuária de um Centro Estadual de Educação Profissional, da cidade de Rio Negro, no Paraná. A abordagem metodológica foi a qualitativa de natureza interpretativa, com observação participante. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de fotos e vídeos das atividades, observação das próprias atividades realizadas pelos alunos, arguições orais, relatórios e anotações em diário de campo. As atividades desenvolvidas nesta pesquisa foram organizadas em quinze (15) momentos, nos quais se buscou discutir e contextualizar as relações sociais da Ciência e da Tecnologia por meio do estudo de Soluções químicas, de forma interdisciplinar. Os principais resultados evidenciaram que o enfoque CTS no ensino de Soluções, contribuiu para a apropriação dos conceitos químicos, pelos alunos, sendo possível transpor questões que os envolvem dia a dia. No decorrer das aulas os alunos se mostraram mais críticos e reflexivos acerca das implicações sociais em relação às questões científicas e tecnológicas. Outro resultado obtido neste estudo consistiu na elaboração de um guia didático, que poderá ser utilizado como sugestão metodológica pelos professores de Química do Ensino Médio. / This study is the questioning about the possibilities of teaching in the classroom, the chemical content of solutions, related to the daily life of students, to provide the Scientific and Technological Literacy (ACT) by focusing Science-Technology-Society (CTS). The overall goal of this research is to develop and analyze the chemical content of education solutions relating to the daily lives of students by focusing CTS contributing to the Scientific and Technological Literacy (ACT). The study was conducted with 55 students from 2nd grade of high school, the course of an Agricultural Technician in State Center for Professional Education, the city of Rio Negro, Parana. The methodological approach was qualitative interpretative, with participant observation. Data collection occurred through photos and videos of activities, observation of activities performed by the students themselves, Pleas oral reports and notes in a field journal. The activities developed in this research were organized into fifteen (15) times in which it was sought to discuss and contextualize the social relations of science and technology through the study of chemical solutions, in an interdisciplinary way. The main results showed that the CTS approach in teaching Solutions, contributed to the appropriation of chemical concepts, students, and can transpose issues that involve day to day. During the classes students were more critical and reflective about the social implications in relation to science and technology issues. Another result obtained in this study consisted of developing a teaching guide that can be used as a methodological suggestion by teachers of high school chemistry.

Para tanto, as plantas foram cultivadas em solução nutritiva no 2 Hoagland & Arnon (1950), na mesma solução com decréscimo de 50% e com acréscimo de 50% de fósforo. As variáveis número de folhas, comprimento de parte aérea, massa seca dos diferentes órgãos, área foliar, razão de área foliar, área foliar específica, taxa assimilatória liquida, taxa de crescimento relativo, razão de massa foliar, distribuição de massa seca, rendimento e composição de óleo essencial foram avaliadas. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com três níveis de fósforo, cinco colheitas e quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial 3x5. Para a análise do óleo essencial o delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 3x3. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias foram comparadas pelo teste Tukey, com 5% de significância. O fator colheita foi avaliado por análise de regressão, exceto na avaliação da produção e composição do óleo essencial. As plantas submetidas ao maior nível de fósforo e igual a 91,5/183,0 mg L-1 apresentaram tendência de aumento do número de lâminas foliares, área foliar, massa seca de lâminas foliares, massa seca total e dos teores de mentona. As plantas submetidas ao nível intermediário de fósforo, igual a 57,5/115,0 mg L-1 apresentaram maior massa seca de caule mais pecíolos e maior teor de mentofurano. Quando as plantas foram submetidas ao menor nível de fósforo, igual a 28,7/57,5 mg L-1, foi maior a massa seca de raízes, massa seca de estolões, produção de óleo essencial e teores de mentol, acetato de mentila e pulegona... / To study the development of Mentha piperita L. and the production of essential oil plants were cultivated in nutritive solution under several levels of P. Original Hoagland & Arnon (1950) no 2 nutritive solution were one of the treatments, and the other experimental levels were this nutritive solution with 50% of the original P concentration, and added with 50% P over the original concentration. The variables evaluated were number of leaves, steam length, dry mass several organs, leaf area, leaf area ratio, specific leaf area, net assimilatory rate, relative growth rate, leaf mass ratio, dry mass distribution. Essential oil yield and composition were also assessed. A randomized factorial design 3x5 were used, with there levels of phosphorus. for essential oil, a randomized 3x3 factorial design were used. Data analysis consisted in application of ANOVA followed by the Tukey test, using the level of significance of 5%. The crop factor was studied using regression analysis, except for essential oil yield and composition. Highest P levels, 91,5/183,0 mg L-1 resulted on significantly higher values for number of leaves, leaf area, leaf dry mass, total dry mass and content menthone. Plants cultivated under intermediate P levels, 57,5/115,0 mg L-1 had higher values for stem plus petiole dry mass, and content menthofuram. When submitted to the lower level of P, 28,7/57,5 mg L-1, root dry mass, steam dry mass, menthol, essential oil yield, menthyl acetate and pulegone content were highest. Physiological indexes as leaf area ratio, leaf mass ratio, dry mass distribution of plants cultivated under the intermediate P levels were higher than those found in the P level of 91,5/183 mg L-1. We concluded that the best period to crop this plant, aiming for a highest yield of essential oil, was 60 days after transplantation... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
