RESUMO

The aim of this research was to analyse the effects of the implementation "The Calendar and the Measure of the Time" Project in 5th grade of an Elementary public school in Santa Barbara Do Oeste - São Paulo. The theme of this research were linked to the contents of Science taught in this grade, and aimed the integration with other areas. This work is justified by the evidence that science teaching has been marked by knowledge fragmentation and lack of contextualization. The main question was how the Project implementation could improve the integration of the contents and the cognitive development of the students in the early years of the Elementary school. During the year three basic activities were done by the students (individually or in groups). These activities were complemented with readings of different texts, systematizations in groups, interviews with people from the town and notebooks with students memories. This research had experimental basis, without a control group; data were collected in the classroom with adjustments in the direction of the proposal. Changing in learning and behavior of students involved were observed. The results indicated that project implementation helped students to develop a full knowledge that aims reciprocity and interaction between curriculum areas involved. The students presented changes in thinking, built knowledge individually and collectively on the topics covered, and interacted with other students, teachers and school employees, as well as their parents, relatives and people in their neighborhood. The activities and the "Calendar Project" were quite suitable as a working mechanism in the early years of elementary school in multidisciplinary perspective and collective construction of knowledge.
