Water, Environmental Education, Water Resources.
Water is an essential natural resource, used in the most diverse daily activities, however its quality available for human consumption is limited and has been constantly deteriorating, mainly due to human actions. This water issue must be addressed in both formal and non-formal teaching spaces, as it is a transversal theme, linked to the environment, encompassing the issue of sustainable consumption. To approach this theme, the present work aims to create as a product an educational game “H2O Calculate”, which consists of a teaching strategy on the issue of water resources in elementary school in which it proposes individual and collective initiative to solve environmental problems with based on the analysis of conscious consumption and sustainability actions, so that to advance through the game phases the user needs to answer a quiz that asks about actions that promote greater water savings in daily actions in human activities. It can be used in the classroom as an instrument to develop the skill (EF09CI13) proposed by BNCC for elementary education. As a result, it is expected that students will be able to develop conscious and sustainable consumption, education in water resources and understanding of water and environmental issues.
