Resumen
The scope of this Dissertation is propose the teaching of the evaporation based on
the approach Science, Technology and Society (STS) because we believe that this
type of approach is able to provide students with a more critical and conscious
learning about science. Moreover, with this search, it´s possible to show for students
the importance of role to play for them as citizens in decision making aimed to benefit
all who are part of the community to which they belong. From this perspective,
broached the theme evaporation in a region characterized by constant lack of water
for consumption, the municipality of Santa Cruz/RN because, despite the creation of
dams to regulate the flow of rivers and increase the availability of water during
periods of scarcity, we know that these reservoirs have a large free liquid surface
allowing high water loss by evaporation. Thus, evaporation affects the performance
of reservoirs for water supply and irrigation, being a phenomenon of particular
interest to study. To this end, a questionnaire in order to identify students'
preconceptions on the subject was applied. Was then prepared and conducted a
workshop geared toward students majoring in Physics Campus Santa Cruz, Federal
Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). The
completion of the workshop served as a space for discussion of the topic within the
context of the municipality of Santa Cruz/RN. As a product, we suggest to physics
teachers a guide with recommendations to be taken into account when they teach
this subject
