SUMMARY:

Astronomy is the science that studies the universe and its components. Its study is mainly based on observation. In schools, as an object of study, it comprises a discipline of great importance for covering everyday topics of students' daily lives and for being able to arouse students' interest. During high school, it is an area that can be approached in several subjects, such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geography, however, although foreseen by the National Curricular Parameters (PCN), the reality in most Brazilian schools, mainly public ones, is that issues related to Astronomy are little discussed or even non-existent. Much of this reality is due to the teachers' lack of preparation, extensive and rigid menus, high dependence on textbooks, lack of resources for practical classes and lack of knowledge of educational tools that can replace them. In this sense, based on the learning theory proposed by Vygotsky, that the subject builds knowledge from the interaction with the physical and social environment, this work aims to propose a didactic methodology for the teaching of Astronomy linked to the discipline of Physics for high school students. The didactic proposal is based on the use of animations and the construction of portfolios, to facilitate and consolidate learning and for evaluation by the teacher. The proposal was developed in two schools, one public and one private. The classes took place remotely and the topics covered were: solar system, exoplanets and the life and death of stars. At the end of the classes, the students prepared their portfolios and answered a questionnaire. It was observed that the didactic proposal facilitated the teaching-learning process and was able to arouse students' interest in the contents.
