摘要
This paper had the objective to evaluate the perception and comprehension of the students from a state school located in a needy area with spring characteristics in the city of Santo Andre, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, about the concepts of Chemistry when presented under an environmental view. The purpose was to take to the apprentices a proposal of measurement of the pH of rain water in the place they live and relate the results to the concepts of acidity, basicity and pollution. The results raised in this research is that the level of understanding and interest of the students become higher when the concepts of chemistry are related to the students life and Interests. The results indicated a better comprehension and interest for the chemistry and environmental concepts, revealing that 87% of the students started to consider the study of Chemistry important against 56% in the first research admitting its importance, proving the importance of the significant and practical teaching for the student.
