Ciência forense no ensino de Química como laboratório alternativo

Abstract

This work describes forensic science as it can be described as an activity that supports investigations that refer to crimes, on the other hand, forensic science is also able to point out the involvement of Chemistry Teaching as a tool for the teaching- learning, as a complementary theme in the educational process, manifesting the evident application of chemical concepts. With a view to understanding a proposal for an alternative experimental approach, becoming an effective instrument in the classroom. Thus, the objective of this work is to arouse the students' curiosity for the study of chemistry, where it is possible to use experimentation and contextualization of chemical concepts and relate them to chemistry contents. Three experiments were carried out: fruit DNA extraction, fingerprint collection with graphite powder and ink chromatography of two brands of pens. of mixtures, with a view to contributing to the teaching and learning of students
