| Summary: | This article describes work developed in chemistry teaching training courses and in urban and rural high school classrooms in an intercultural perspective. The state of Acre (Brazil) was constituted from the occupation of territory in the Amazon Forest by economic interests in the so-called "rubber outbreaks". Teaching plans and materials were written considering the historical and social contexts of these episodes and the approximation of the knowledge of rubber tappers and of indigenous people to scientific knowledge. The narratives, experiments and experiences proposed were based on fieldwork, laboratory and bibliographic research. The dynamics of the materials used made possible, beyond the learning of the chemical science, the recognition of the value of the forest populations by the students of the urban center and the recognition of the own value by the rural school students. |
