Abstract

Scientific literacy is a process that promotes dialogues and approximations between the scientific culture and the experimental culture of individuals. This process can, and should, be present in the daily lives of young children and the use of ludicity becomes possible, as it is necessary to think about its suitability for children. Thus, this work aims to present the process of elaboration, development and results of a playful-didactic intervention planned in the context of a discipline in the Pedagogy course at Unifesp. The adopted methodology allowed us to discuss the use of non-formal educational elements in the school environment through a didactic intervention, using a sequence of activities on the theme Day and Night: cartoon, conversation wheel, artistic production and game. As a result, we verified, through the children’s activities and speeches, that each moment contributed to expand their experiences and knowledge about the astronomical phenomenon.
