4. Conclusion
The study found that high school students had a great interest in improving learning through practical lessons,
especially when these lessons are contextualized with updated issues, such as forensic science. Most of the students
interviewed had already watched movies and television series related to the activities of the forensic scientist and
would have liked to participate at practices that addressed the concepts and processes of physics, chemistry, and
biology applied to this practice. This observation opens an important opportunity to bring students to the knowledge
of the natural sciences in their curriculum, since they had indicated that these contents did not attract their interest.
Moreover, the possibility of developing practical classes for the easy implementation of experiments without the
need for equipment and inaccessible reagents goes against some of the structural problems that appear to limit the
use of practical lessons in the daily teaching of natural sciences in Brazilian basic education.
