A EA e os alunos com NEE: Atividades da Vida Diária (AVD), a água e sua utilização sustentável

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present activities developed in Natural Sciences discipline, of the 6th year of schooling, with students with special educational needs, with underlying daily life activities related to the consumption of water, aiming to raise awareness of the importance of this resource, as well as the need to rationalize its consumption. Potable water is an increasingly scarce resource, and its use and governance are increasingly sustainable, a purpose that should involve the whole community, which implies including children/young people who can/should also contribute to achieve such goals. Considering the School an essentially formal teaching and learning institution, where knowledge of the water resource, its sustainable management and use are mandatory curricular contents for all students, a set of practical activities based on the daily life activities were elaborated, thus allowing the direct involvement of all students in them, making them citizens with full rights, more knowledgeable and consequently more involved in the community and environment that they integrate.
