The game “Glicólise e Gliconeogênese” was developed to introduce the collaborative learning of metabolic pathways to Dental School students of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. The game starts with 11 cards with the structural formula of the glycolysis intermediates that need to be placed in the correct sequence of structural changes from glucose to pyruvic acid. After that, the students get 10 enzyme cards that indicates the reversibility (or not) of the reaction, the free energy value and activators and/or inhibitors, if this is the case. After answering questions to consolidate the content through observations of the metabolic pathway, the students get five new cards that allow the substitution of the cards need to transform glycolysis in gluconeogenesis. The evaluation by 18 students suggests that the game is a great learning strategy of metabolic pathways that can be used to others than those showed here.

Photosynthesis is a complex process that involves the implementation of several reactions which, many times, makes this content difficult for students to understand. The objective of this study was to investigate if an interactive didactic model, crafted with simple materials, could facilitate the understanding and learning of students on photosynthesis. Initially students of first year high school class from a public school Western of Paraná were asked to diagram what they knew about photosynthesis and respond to a questionnaire. It was concluded that many of the students’ prior concepts were general or inaccurate, such as the idea of photosynthesis being the process of respiration in plants, and O2 coming from the CO2, not from the photo-oxidation of water. These prior conceptions were important for planning the approach to the subject. The process of photosynthesis was then covered in lecture and dialogued, using the interactive didactic model to highlight the explanations. A new questionnaire was completed by the students, and concluded that the use of the interactive didactic model was efficient, since it helped to consolidate correct concepts and simultaneously, introduced new ones as well it shook the equivocal relations.
