SUMMARY:

This paper aims to report on a pedagogical experience based on Project-Based Learning (PBL), using peppermint essential oil (Aetheroleum Menthae Piperitae) as an interdisciplinary resource in the teaching of Organic Chemistry in technical courses. The proposal involved second-year students from the Chemistry and Agriculture courses at the State School of Professional Education (EEEP) in the municipality of Guaiúba – CE. The activities were developed from a driving question related to the pharmacological properties of essential oils, promoting stages of bibliographic research, selection of the medicinal plant, supervised cultivation, harvest, and oil extraction. In parallel, practical workshops, lectures, and a talk with a pharmacology expert from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) were conducted to understand the organic functions present in the extracted compounds. The students were organized into groups to solve challenges related to the theme, developing both cognitive and socioemotional skills, such as collaborative work, responsibility, and critical thinking. The research methodology was based on participant observation, with qualitative records obtained through photographs, field notes, and analysis of the students’ productions. The results indicate that the project-based approach significantly contributed to meaningful learning of Organic Chemistry content, reinforcing the importance of contextualized and interdisciplinary practices in technical education.
