Adequate and healthy food is a human right provided for in the Brazilian Federal Constitution. One way to ensure this right is to promote a conscientious nutritional education. Thus, Nutrition Education should be taught from a perspective that addresses scientific, social, historical and technological aspects. The educational approach that best favors the discussion of these aspects is Science-Technology-Society. The objectives of this work were to elaborate, apply and evaluate a didactic sequence with Science-Technology-Society approach to nutrition education. To elaborate and evaluate the effectiveness of the sequence, we used an adaptation of the didactic engineering methodology. For the survey of the conceptual contents constructed during the didactic sequence were used: pre-test and post-test questionnaire. Fifty students from the 7th grade of Elementary School from a state school in the city of Diadema - São Paulo - Brazil participated in this research. The results of the pre-test and post-test questionnaires indicate that there was a growing appropriation of the knowledge about macronutrient composition of foods and good eating practices. They also show a greater knowledge of the historical-cultural and affective relationship in the constitution of Brazilian dietary patterns. This work is a cut of the dissertation of homonymous masters of the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática (PECMA) of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP).
