Manual de aulas práticas de biologia vegetal para o ensino médio: a rosa do deserto como planta modelo

Abstract

Adenium is a small group of plants known from dry climates in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, but which has adapted very well to the tropical climate of Brazil, being used as an ornamental plant. This work arises from the concern of offering knowledge based on scientific methods related to the teaching of Botany, in order to offer a method that facilitates the preparation of a practical and dynamic class, in addition to being a good way of acquiring the content for the students of the high school. In view of this, the article aims to describe and elaborate a guide for practical botany classes for high school using Adenium obesum, as a model plant. To obtain such contributions, a bibliographical study was carried out on aspects and management of the desert rose, in addition to a practice carried out in the laboratory of the IFPI - Campus Valença. Therefore, the products of this work: lesson plan and desert rose handling manual, are a facilitator for teachers in their classes.
