SUMMARY:

The research investigated the use of terrariums as a teaching tool for ecology, with the aim of improving the understanding of ecological phenomena by third-year high school students at Pedro Aleixo and Poty Schools. Recognizing the students’ lack of interest in the subject, attributed to the perception of its outdated nature, the adopted methodology focused on the active participation of students and the experience of practical experiences. The terrarium was chosen as a dynamic resource to make teaching more engaging and contextualized. The holistic approach to teaching highlighted the interdependence between natural systems, preparing students to face environmental challenges sustainably. Experimentation in Biology and Ecology was emphasized as crucial for the development of students’ conceptual understanding and practical scientific skills. The terrariums, by representing ecosystems, allowed for contextualized learning and direct observation of the concepts taught in the classroom. This approach not only sought to transmit knowledge, but also to develop research, critical reflection and problem-solving skills, contributing to students’ scientific literacy and their understanding of the role of science in a holistic way. In addition, the research highlighted the importance of interdisciplinarity, promoting the integration of diverse knowledge and establishing connections between school content and students’ reality. Thus, the use of terrariums as a teaching resource proved effective not only in improving students’ understanding of ecology, but also in awakening their interest in the subject, making learning more meaningful and relevant.
