Abstract

This article proposes and discusses qualitatively the use of a didactic board game in Science Education for high school students. The game contemplates in an interdisciplinary way the areas of Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Astronomy and is based on the development of the cognitive structure of the students through the act of drawing the concepts addressed in the classroom, also aiming at socialization through teamwork and the inclusion of students with hearing impairment. The game was created in a physics teacher education course and also aims to promote reflection on teaching practice and the search for attractive teaching methodologies for students.
