Este Protocolo de Orientação é resultado de uma dissertação de mestrado profissional desenvolvido no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Rede Nacional para Ensino de Ciências Ambientais (Profciamb), tendo como objetivo o ensino das Ciências Ambientais na formação técnica profissionalizante em enfermagem do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas Campus São Gabriel da Cachoeira (IFAM-CSG), situado no município de São Gabriel da Cachoeira estado do Amazonas – Brasil.
O estudo que resultou neste Protococo foi construído mediante a análise dos Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso (PPCs) do IFAM/CSGC, Instituto Federal de Roraima Campus Boa vista (IFRR/CBV), e apreciação da percepção do docente e discente quanto à presença das temáticas ambientais em sua formação. É um instrumento de fácil aplicabilidade que pode ser utilizado e também orientar a construção de PPCs por outras instituições de nsino em diferentes contextos ambientais e diferentes níveis de formação.

In this article, the author identifies science content standards for grades K-5 from the national standards that are aligned with the third essential principle of the climate sciences--life on Earth depends on, is shaped by, and affects climate. In addition she reviews misconceptions commonly held by children about adaptations and natural selection. The free, online magazine Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle is structured around the seven essential principles of the climate sciences and explores a different principle each issue.
