Este manual didático foi desenvolvido para facilitar o desenvolvimento da sequência didática intitulada João e Maria: as aventuras do papel. O objetivo desta é proporcionar às crianças de 4 a 5 anos uma primeira aproximação com a educação ambiental crítica, na temática dos resíduos sólidos (lixo), ou seja, apresentar uma visão holística da problemática, para além da reutilização e descarte seletivo para a reciclagem, contemplando o ciclo de vida do papel (desenvolvimento, matéria prima, produção, consumo, disposição final) e seus impactos ambientais. A sequência didática foi desenvolvida no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Rede Nacional para Ensino das Ciências Ambientais (PROFCIAMB) associada Universidade de São Paulo (USP) através de uma ampla pesquisa em livros, artigos, cartilhas, legislação, documentos oficiais, sites, vídeos e respeitando os direitos de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento das crianças preconizados pela Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC) - conviver, brincar, participar, explorar, expressar e conhecer-se - para a educação infantil. Tem como objetivo final, contribuir no aprimoramento das práticas pedagógicas no contexto ambiental, não sendo vista como uma mera receita a ser reproduzida, mas passível de alterações conforme as necessidades e realidades das crianças, promovendo assim aprendizagens significativas. Desta forma, esperamos que este manual possa contribuir na sua prática educativa e na formação de crianças autônomas e críticas frente à crise socioambiental que enfrentamos. Que ele seja seu companheiro nessa trajetória.

Sharks and many other large ocean animals have sucker-equipped fish called remoras sticking to them. What are the remoras doing? Do they harm the sharks? In this video, Jonathan goes on a mission to investigate remoras and their role in the food web. He even sticks one on himself. Please see the accompanying study guide for educational objectives and discussion points.

This video features the remarkable discovery Jonathan made in 1998 about Basking sharks, the second largest fish on Earth. While diving with Basking sharks in the frigid waters of the Bay of Fundy, Jonathan saw parasitic lampreys on the backs of the sharks. This had never before been documented, so he returned the next year with a shark biologist and a lamprey biologist to attempt to recover living lampreys from the backs of Basking sharks. They didn't think Jonathan could do it. Wait until you see what happens! Please see the accompanying lesson plan for educational objectives, discussion points and classroom activities.

In the warm and blue waters off Hawaii, Oceanic White Tip sharks often follow behind pods of Pilot whales. For the longest time, biologists have had no idea what is going on. Are they eating the whales? Are they stealing food from the whales? In this video of an expedition to follow the sharks and observe them, Jonathan finally figured out what is going on, and you won‰ŰŞt believe the disgusting truth! Please see the accompanying study guide for educational objectives and discussion points.

This video features the Thresher shark, which may very well be the strangest looking shark in the world, with a tail almost as long as its body. This shark is very rare, almost never seen by divers...until now. Using advanced diving technology, Jonathan visits a remote reef in the Philippines where Thresher sharks show up every morning to be cleaned by small fish. Please see the accompanying study guide for educational objectives and discussion points.
