This paper proposes the use of a gymkhana hunt as a way to implement an environmental and sustainable awareness in the school community of Estrela Dalva (MG). The article has a quantitative and qualitative approach that discusses the environmental education theme in the school space effectively, promoting interdisciplinarity. The gymkhana hunt demonstrated possibilities and the importance of recycling materials that were previously destined for garbage or wrong disposal, creating workshops that work (e.g turning cooking oil into soap, pet bottles into furniture and decorative paintings etc.) these skills. Exposing these activities as a science fair and then creating a march for sustainability were strategies adopted to bring knowledge of the five R's to the community, demonstrating that the school also has its social role.
O Cerrado apresenta elevada diversidade vegetal, entretanto, é um dos biomas mais ameaçados do planeta, sendo considerado como uma das áreas prioritárias para a conservação. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se avaliar a diversidade florística e estrutural de uma área do Cerrado de futura expansão da silvicultura, na Fazenda Campeira município de Jerumenha-PI. O inventario florestal, foi realizado em 10 parcelas (20 x 50m). A fitossociologia foi avaliada por intermédio de indivíduos com DNS ≥ 3cm. para a fitossociologia e indivíduos nos arredores ou baixo do critério de inclusão para florística, sendo observadas também medidas de altura total. Foram encontradas 55 espécies, destas, 42 amostradas no levantamento fitossociológico. As espécies com maior representatividade foram: Fabaceae (198), Vochysiaceae (127) e Malpighiaceae (77) indivíduo. As espécies de maior valor de importância foram: Pouteria ramiflora (Mart.) Radlk.; Qualea parviflora Mart.; Byrsonima crassifolia (L.) Kunth.; Plathymenia reticulata Benth.; Pterodon abruptus (Moric.) Benth. A altura média dos espécimes foi 4.54 ± 2.55m e a estrutura diamétrica com 12.25 ± 9.95cm. Os valores de densidade e de área basal foram 724 ind.ha-1 e 15, 874 m2/ha, respectivamente, com um índice de diversidade de Shannon (H’) foi de 3,22 nats /ind. A região apresentou elevada diversidade e considerando o avanço do desmatamento na região, faz-se necessário conhecimento taxonômico e ecológico dessas áreas, pois é possível vislumbrar medidas de recuperação e conservação dos cerrados.
The record of the social and cultural aspects that lead the human being to use the natural resources has gained evidence in the last decades. The present article aimed to describe the existing techniques in the production chain of the artisans of the Ceramic Pole of Poti Velho, PI, as well as to record the artifacts produced by the manufacture of red clay. The data collection involved semi-structured interviews, the participant observation technique to resolve doubts about the peculiarities of the production chain, as well as photographic record of the production stages. We observed the existence of criteria to determine the best craftsmen within the community, as well as influences that not only divides the activities between craftsmen by gender, but also those that led to changes in the techniques of production and artifacts produced by artisans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
