Abstract

The use of plants as medicine is part of the popular culture, and is important because it is an alternative medicine of low cost. However, the popular knowledge is been losing throughout the time. In such a way, the goal of this work is to rescue the popular knowledge on medicinal plants and to elaborate a didactic material that could be used in schools as didactic support. An ethnobotanic study of the medicinal plants used by the population of the districts of Toledo (PR) was carried out applying a questionnaire to 339 students of 3rd and 4th grades of basic education, and the collection of 1,539 plants whose classification resulted in 146 different species. The organization of the didactic material involved some concepts of Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics, and approached the procedures that must be taken into consideration when making use of medicinal plants and toxic plants.
