The methodology used was Participant Research, under a qualitative approach, as a constructive intervention was sought in the educational reality of students at the investigated school. Data collection involved the production of didactic-pedagogical resources constructed based on the students' local reality, the offering of a science class and the application of a questionnaire to students and teachers at the researched school, as a way of evaluating the teaching activity developed. with the help of didactic-pedagogical resources.
