Tabela Periódica da Saúde: Uma Ferramenta Colaborativa no Padlet para um Ensino de Química Contextualizado e Interativo

Resumo

This article presents the development and application of the “Health Periodic Table,” an innovative educational product built on the Padlet digital platform. The proposal addresses the challenge of overcoming the traditional and abstract approach to teaching the Periodic Table by connecting chemical elements to practical and highly relevant applications for high school students, focusing on human health. The tool features a multimodal interface, integrating text, images, and podcasts, and stands out for its collaborative design, which enables students and teachers to actively participate in the construction of knowledge. The application of the tool in High School and Youth and Adult Education (EJA) classes showed a significant increase in student engagement and a greater appropriation of chemical concepts, thereby validating the methodology as an effective alternative for a more dynamic, meaningful, and contemporary approach Chemistry teaching.
