Target Audience:
Deaf students who use Libras, Middle School, High School, Youth and Adult Education (EJA), and Specialized Educational Support (AEE).
Also recommended for students with ASD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), and students in the process of scientific literacy.
Format:
Color printable PDF with strong visual support, integration of Libras, written Portuguese, and anatomical illustrations, featuring interactive activities such as matching, visual identification, logical sequencing, and locating endocrine glands within the body, along with a complete answer key.
Important for the Teacher:
This material was developed as a bilingual practical activity (Libras + Portuguese) and can be used as:
✔ Content introduction
✔ Bilingual education for deaf students
✔ Scientific literacy development
✔ Learning reinforcement
✔ Adapted remediation activity
✔ Adapted assessment
Key Features:
✅ Integrates Libras, Portuguese language, and visual resources into a single educational proposal.
✅ Teaches the endocrine system in a concrete, visual, and accessible way for deaf students.
✅ Develops bilingual scientific vocabulary related to the human body and endocrine glands.
✅ Presents Libras signs associated with scientific terms, strengthening learning in two languages.
✅ Explores the main structures of the endocrine system: pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, thymus, pancreas, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
✅ Develops understanding of hormones as the body's chemical messengers.
✅ Encourages visual identification, concept association, and anatomical localization of glands in the human body.
✅ Stimulates observation, categorization, and understanding of relationships between biological structures and functions.
✅ Uses objective instructions, clear visual organization, and predictable activities, promoting student autonomy.
✅ Promotes inclusion and linguistic accessibility in Science and Biology classes.
✅ Progressive learning sequence: observe → associate → identify → locate → understand.
✅ Strong visual support significantly reduces the abstraction of concepts related to the endocrine system.
✅ Encourages active participation of deaf students in inclusive and bilingual learning environments.
✅ Can be used in regular classrooms, Specialized Educational Support (AEE), Multifunctional Resource Rooms, or individual instruction.
