Abstract

Environmental education has been a cross-cutting topic that has been widely discussed and implemented within the school curriculum, contributing to develop a critical awareness of the environmental problems experienced within the context of the school community. In this sense, working on the theme of waste in the context of environmental education will contribute to the construction of skills and abilities necessary to learn scientific concepts in articulation with environmental issues, in an attempt to find solutions to the problems experienced in the socio-cultural context of the student. This research aims to build a teaching proposal to work on the topic of waste generation in an interdisciplinary perspective using the pedagogy of teaching by project in a public school in the city of Barra de Santa Rosa - PB. This is an action research of a qualitative nature. The target audience was 25 high school students.

Regarding the classes, the students showed an interest in philosophy classes with topics on environmental ethics and society, and in the classes of chemistry the approach on the environmental theme and the practice of obtaining an ecological plastic.
