Modelos atômicos: diferentes abordagens em livros didáticos do Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático (PNLD).

Abstract

This work has as its theme the study of atomistics that is very important in science teaching, its understanding is fundamental to the study of chemistry and physics, because it allows to understand the constitution of matter, a question that permeates humanity for several centuries. Due to its great importance for science education, three didactic books (Martha Reis, Chemistry 1, 1st edition; Eduardo Fleury Mortimer, Chemistry 1, 1st edition; Citizen Chemistry, volume 1, 2nd edition) were analyzed that are indicated for use in the classroom by the National Textbook Program (PNLD). When analyzing textbooks following the similarity parameters; depth and quality of the topics covered; quality of images; The relation between theory and practice may show that the books present several similarities among themselves and some differences among them, for example, the use of experiments of the student's daily life in order to make the content more palpable.
