Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/2011/17748The sugarcane mills are part of the historical, cultural and economic context of the city of Abaetetuba. In this work, the sugarcane mill is problematized as an interdisciplinary theme to study different science curriculum contents in the final years of Elementary School. We assume the path of research that seeks to construct knowledge from the reality of people, considering their knowledge, culture, and trajectory. The hypothesis that supports the thesis is that inserting elements from the social and historical context can make the teaching-learning of science contents more meaningful, due to the relation with the local history of the sugarcane mills. The methodology adopted privileges the qualitative research approach. We aim to contribute to an Education that reactivates the culture and the history of the sugarcane mills through the problematizations that emerge from this theme for the teaching of science, especially in the final years of Elementary School. One of the purposes of this work is to list possibilities of themes and didactic approaches concerning science teaching that can be related to the socio-cultural practices associated with the culture of sugarcane mills. The proposed activities about the sugarcane mills are subsidies to promote teaching that involves the local culture and presents a relationship with the socio-cultural reality of the students. Therefore, using the sugarcane mills as a theme for teaching science constitutes a starting point for more creative classes, allowing a dialogue with the socio-cultural reality of Abaetetuba, encouraging students to value their culture, their history, and to expand their potentialities.Acesso AbertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Ensino de CiênciasEngenhos de cana-de-açúcarTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS
