SUMMARY:

The accelerated pace ofextractionof natural resources, tomeetthecurrentconsumptiondemandsofsociety, hasprovidedanincreasinglyaccentuatedprocessofenvironmentaldegradation.In thesearch for cleanerenergymatrices, studiesonthe use ofplantbiomass as a primaryandrenewableenergysource are necessary.Withinthiscontext, plants area central element for theinvestigationanddiscussionof social, economicandenvironmentalissuesthat, recurrently, are present in society. Consideringtheteachingof Natural SciencesanditsTechnologies in schools, wherebotanycontents are covered in scienceandbiologysubjects, it isobservedthatthissubject, normally, isuninterestingonthestudents' perspective, thereforereflectingtraitsof “plantblindness”. In orderofcontributingtocontextualized professional teachingandhelpingtoovercomebarriersrelatedtostudents' lackofmotivationtolearnbotany, thechapter1 reports a studywascarried out withthestudentsofthefourthyearoftheBiofuelsTechnicianCourseofthe Apodi campus ofthe IFRN, whose curriculum provides training basedona broadunderstandingofdiversificationandrenewableenergysources. Throughtheapplicationof a semistructuredquestionnaire, 33 studentswereinitiallyinvestigatedandpartofthemeffectivelyparticipated in theelaborate workshop, in whichthespeciesSimmondsiachinensis (jojoba) waschosentoworkonconceptsrelatedtobotanyteaching. The integrativepracticalactivities, carried out duringthe workshop, provedtobeeffectivetostimulatingparticipants' interest in Botany, throughthe use ofplant material from jojoba, andwere positive to help thestudents in theconstructionofcontextualized new knowledgeabout jojoba, a speciesthat, untilthen, wasunknownbythestudents as an importante exampleofanalternativesource for theproductionofbiofuel.
