Mobilização nas séries finais do ensino fundamental de ciências para o uso do papa pilhas nas escolas municipais de Água Branca-PI

Abstract

In Brazil, worn-out batteries are discarded in general waste due to a lack of knowledge of the risks they pose to human health and the environment, or due to the lack of alternative disposal options. As the school is a space where the student will continue their socialization process, the role of environmental education (sustainability) in the training of responsible young people is fundamental, the “Bote pile, na conscience” Project, promoting knowledge of sustainable practices, encouraging and expanding interest in socio-environmental projects that are concerned with the educational relationship between Man and Nature. Firstly, an explanation was made about the environmental damage caused by the incorrect disposal of batteries and the public health problems. The project aims to raise awareness among teenagers about the environmental damage caused by the incorrect disposal of batteries. Since then, a battery collector has been installed at the school, so that students can collect batteries at home and take them to school. The collected batteries will be donated to companies that recycle this type of material in the city of Teresina-PI. It is believed that the project raises awareness among participating students regarding the environment and the health of the population, so that students understand that it is important to recycle exhausted batteries and that disposing of them incorrectly is extremely dangerous.
