Abstract

This study presents an activity of chemistry teaching based on the analysis of conceptual evolution and appropriation of macroscopic, microscopic and symbolic levels by students during activities mediated writing and rewriting. It attended by 30 students from the Environmental Chemistry course and 22 Bioprocess Engineering and Biotechnology of the University of Tocantins - Campus Gurupi. The activities were held in the elective course Introduction to Forensic Chemistry, covering Fingerprint theme and being conducted in three phases: completion of the game and writing activity; socialization of written, rewritten and discussion of the concepts of activity; and correcting rewritten with teacher guidance for targeted rewriting. The results show a conceptual evolution of the theme, especially after the oriented rewriting, indicating the students' appropriation of the three levels (macro, micro and symbolic) and the importance of moving between them to understand the chemical concepts.
