Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Understand the relationship between science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion: Students should be able to understand the interaction between these elements, how they influence each other, and how they can be applied in different contexts.

2. Develop critical thinking on the subject: Students should be encouraged to question and analyze the relationships between science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion, forming their own ideas and opinions on the subject.

3. Apply the acquired knowledge in practical situations: Students should be able to identify real examples where science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion interact and influence each other.

Secondary Objectives

• Stimulate debate: Promote discussion in the classroom on the subject, encouraging students to share their opinions and perspectives.

• Foster research and autonomous study: Encourage students to seek more information on the subject outside the classroom, promoting the habit of autonomous study.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of previous contents: The teacher should start the class by briefly reviewing the concepts of science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion that were studied in previous classes. This can be done through a quick classroom discussion, asking students what they remember about these concepts and clarifying any doubts that may arise. (3 - 5 minutes)

2. Problem situations: Next, the teacher should present two situations involving the interaction between science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion. For example:

   • Situation 1: "A scientific research recently discovered that certain human behaviors are largely determined by genetic factors. However, this discovery challenges some cultural and religious beliefs that argue that human behavior is mainly shaped by education and the environment. How can we reconcile these different views?"
   • Situation 2: "In some cultures, euthanasia is seen as an act of compassion, while in others it is considered a crime. How do science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion relate in this context?" (5 - 7 minutes)

3. Contextualization of the importance of the subject: After presenting the situations, the teacher should explain how understanding the interaction between science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion is relevant to the students' daily lives. They can mention examples of how these elements influence the decisions we make, the beliefs we hold, and the attitudes we adopt. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Introduction to the topic: To spark students' interest in the topic, the teacher can share some curiosities or related stories. For example:

   • Curiosity 1: "Did you know that during the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church discouraged autopsies, which greatly limited scientific progress in the field of medicine?"
   • Curiosity 2: "In the 1920s, a high school teacher named John Scopes was sued for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in his classroom, which went against the laws of the State of Tennessee, in the United States. This case became known as the 'Scopes Monkey Trial' and illustrates well the conflict between science and religion." (5 - 7 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory (10 - 12 minutes): The teacher should present the theory necessary for understanding the topic of the class. This includes:

   • Definition of science: The teacher should reinforce the definition of science as a set of systematic and rational knowledge, based on observations, experiments, and measurements, that explain natural, social, and artificial phenomena.
   • Definition of ethics: The teacher should explain ethics as a set of principles that guide human behavior, guiding what is right and what is wrong.
   • Definition of freedom: The teacher should discuss freedom as the ability to choose and act according to one's own will, within the limits imposed by society and the law.
   • Definition of culture: The teacher should address culture as the patterns of behavior, beliefs, values, institutions, and artifacts that characterize a social group.
   • Definition of religion: The teacher should define religion as a system of beliefs and practices that involves questions about the nature, origin, and purpose of the universe, usually involving the worship of one or more deities.

2. Discussion (5 - 7 minutes): After presenting the theory, the teacher should promote a classroom discussion on how science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion can conflict or complement each other in different situations. The teacher can use the problem situations presented in the Introduction to start the discussion and ask students to share their opinions and perspectives.

3. Practical examples (5 - 6 minutes): The teacher should then present real examples of how science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion interact and influence each other. This may include recent media examples on issues such as assisted reproduction, genetic alterations, cloning, among others. The teacher should explain each example and ask students to reflect on how these elements are present in them.

4. Practical activities (5 - 6 minutes): To consolidate learning, the teacher can propose some practical activities for students. This may include writing a short essay, researching a case study related to the topic, or conducting a debate in the classroom. The teacher should clearly explain the instructions for each activity and provide adequate time for students to complete them.

Feedback (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Connection to the Real World (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should encourage students to reflect on how what they have learned applies to the real world. This can be done through direct questions, such as:

   • "Can you think of a real example where science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion interact and influence each other?"
   • "How can understanding these interactions help us better understand the world around us and make more informed decisions?"

2. Review of Concepts (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should review the main concepts covered in the class, asking students to explain each of them in their own words. This can be done through a quick classroom discussion or a small oral quiz.

3. Individual Reflection (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should propose that students reflect individually on what they have learned. This can be done by asking questions such as:

   • "What was the most important concept you learned today?"
   • "What questions have not been answered for you yet?"

4. Sharing Reflections (1 - 2 minutes): After individual reflection, students should be invited to share their answers with the class. The teacher should give space for all students who wish to speak, encouraging an environment of respect and active listening.

5. Closure (1 - 2 minutes): To conclude the class, the teacher should summarize the main points discussed and reinforce the importance of the topic for the students' daily lives. They can also suggest additional study materials, such as books, articles, documentaries, among others, for those who wish to delve deeper into the subject.

Note: The total time for this class may vary between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on the dynamics of the classroom and the level of student participation. The teacher should adjust the pace of the class as needed to ensure that all Objectives are achieved.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Summary of Contents (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should summarize the main points covered during the class, recalling the definition and importance of each element (science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion) and how they interact with each other. Conclusions or perspectives that emerged during the classroom discussion should be highlighted, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and the ability to question and analyze different points of view.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher should explain how the class connected theory, through the definition and discussion of the elements, with practice, through the examples and problem situations presented. It should be emphasized that understanding these interactions is not just theoretical knowledge, but a practical skill that can be applied in various everyday situations.

3. Additional Materials (1 minute): The teacher can suggest additional study materials for students who wish to delve deeper into the subject. This may include books, articles, documentaries, reliable websites, among others. The teacher should remind students that learning is not limited to class time and that they are responsible for their own learning process.

4. Relevance of the Subject (1 - 2 minutes): Finally, the teacher should highlight the importance of the subject for students' daily lives. It should be explained that the ability to understand and analyze the interaction between science, ethics, freedom, culture, and religion is essential for making informed and ethical decisions, for understanding the world around us, and for respecting and valuing cultural and religious differences. The teacher should encourage students to continue reflecting on the subject and applying what they have learned in their daily lives.
