• Abstract:

  Summary: Adapted teaching materials, aimed at students with specific needs, also allow teachers to seek alternatives that develop these students' learning. Building blocks were adapted for classes on Chemical Elements, aiming to facilitate understanding for everyone, including students with visual impairments. The proposal presented makes students actively participate in classes, being able to assemble molecules. When the student focuses only on memorization, they don't reflect on the content, they don't question it, they don't really understand it, and when it's no longer useful, they forget it. The instrument, this way, acts as a vector of significant learning.
