This study explored the interdisciplinarity between Biology and Chemistry, using the species Synadenium carinatum Boissier (Euphorbiaceae), a toxic ornamental plant, as an object of investigation. Therefore, the pharmacognostic characterization of the plant species was proposed. So that there was a real interdisciplinarity between the disciplines of Biology and Chemistry, experimental scripts were elaborated for morpho-histological and phytochemical analysis of the plant and that would provide interactivity between teachers and students. We conclude from the results that the approach to the contents of the disciplines of Biology and Chemistry and their different approaches to the proposed theme, made it possible for the content worked to move from an abstract learning to a more “concrete” and meaningful learning. Therefore, it was noticed that the proposed activities led the students to seek, to learn, to think about the observed phenomena and to actively participate in the classes.
