ESTRUTURAS DE FULERENOS: ESTABELECENDO INTERFACES NO ENSINO DE MATEMÁTICA E QUÍMICA EM NÍVEL SUPERIOR

The objective of this paper is to study fullerene geometry properties and attempt to stablish a dialogue between the teaching of mathematics and chemistry concepts using hands-on cardboard geometric models, in classroom, in order to facilitate the understanding of fullerene structures. This approach to the study of such molecules represents a unique opportunity to explore a complex and rich array of concepts that are essential to the teaching of chemistry at university level and have to be applied by the students along their course. At the same time the study of fullerenes can also profit from...
