Aprendendo sobre SARS-CoV-2: uma proposta de jogo de ludo para o ensino de química e de biologia.

Abstract

The chemistry discipline is briefly presented to students in the eighth and ninth grade, through the Science discipline, and it only gains more contents in high school. Chemistry is an abstract Science: experimental classes are needed to be better understood, but educational institutions do not always have the necessary infrastructure. Due to this problem, several other learning formats can be proposed, according to each school situation. In December 2019, a new human disease emerged, the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome) also known as COVID19, from the mutation of coronavirus type whose main replication hosts were, until then, bats. This type of virus became transmissible between humans through droplets of spittle: by speech, coughing or sneezing, and it spread rapidly around the world. From a survey carried out in scientific data bases, few papers were identified that included educational games with SARS-CoV-2 and ludo game proposed. This motivated us to develop as monograph work a didactic game that correlates subjects about SARS-CoV-2 with chemistry, biology, and public health content, in a playful and interdisciplinary way.
