SUMMARY:

This work aims to bring Science teaching closer to the reality of 9th-grade students in a full-time public school located in Natal-RN. The central idea is to develop a project that integrates theory and practice through the school garden, using the cultivated plants as a starting point for the extraction of essential oils. In this way, students will be able to experience important concepts such as matter transformations, mixture separation, and the sustainable use of natural resources.The project will be carried out through practical and interactive activities, including readings, videos, laboratory visits, observations in the school garden, and discussion circles, always with a focus on student protagonism. At the beginning, a diagnostic questionnaire will be applied to identify the students’ prior knowledge, which will help guide the following stages.Data collection will take place through observations, field diary records, interviews, and semi-structured questionnaires. The analysis will follow the methodology of Content Analysis, based on Bardin’s studies. The expectation is that students will be able to better understand Chemistry and Science concepts, connecting them with daily life and sustainable practices.Furthermore, it is expected that they will develop skills such as teamwork, oral expression, active listening, and critical thinking. As a way of sharing what they have learned, the students themselves will organize a cultural exhibition, open to the school community.Throughout the entire process, the school garden will become a space for experimentation, knowledge exchange, and knowledge construction. The experience intends to demonstrate that it is possible to learn Science in a practical, contextualized, and meaningful way, valuing what is available in the surroundings and encouraging student engagement as active subjects in the learning process.
