Abstract

In order to make the discipline of chemistry more appealing to students of the first year of high school, this study proposed a qualitative methodology, as focal point to the interest of the student to the study of the periodic table, relating it to the approach of certain pleasurable sensations in the human body. Students observe, from a video and an activity with the use of educational technologies in network, what the sensations of pleasure that molecules such as dopamine, endorphins, Norepinephrine, Serotonin and adrenaline, phenylethylamine, can result in the organism. Were highlighted the chemical elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, participants of the molecules studied. In the sequence, they learned the rules of location of the elements on the periodic table. This methodology intended to motivate the student to learning, bringing to the context of classes a theme related to the discovery phase that experience. It was noticed that the use of video and Internet research, have become the most interesting lessons, relaxed and interactive.
