The Chemistry of Love: A Didact Sequence for Teaching Organic Chemistry

In this article, the steps for the development of the teaching methodology with the structuring theme “Chemistry of Love” are described, to favor learning situations regarding the approach of teaching organic chemistry in the third year of high school (EM) in a school public. The main scientific and socio-cultural information about the hormones related to love and their sensations in the human body were studied using a Didactic Sequence (SD) based on Meaningful Learning (AS) and in the three Pedagogical Moments (3MP). The moments prioritized contextualization, interdisciplinarity and the most attractive teaching methods, such as video and experiments, in the construction of scientific knowledge by students. The results showed that the Chemistry of Love promotes the dynamic interrelation between theory and practice, as a means to awaken, motivate and facilitate students’ learning. It was possible to notice that the significant learning about organic chemistry occurs when innovative strategies are used with interesting subjects, which is the case of love and sensations caused by hormones.
