The main objective of this analysis was to identify the knowledge of students on the theme, seeking to enhance this knowledge as an interdisciplinary tool for teaching, between the disciplines of biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The survey took place during the period from November 2013 to September 2014. The methodological development proceeded in alternating steps as follows: initially held an interview to diagnose students' prior knowledge on the subject. In a second step, interdisciplinary lessons were taught, seeking to integrate the topic from the perspective of the students' universe, abordando knowledge of the four disciplines proposals.
