Abstract

Science Clubs are non-formal learning spaces that seek to develop the scientific knowledge of their club members through investigative proposals, where topics of interest are addressed, including Human Physiology. Teaching Physiology in schools is crucial for understanding the functioning of the human body and promoting health, but it is currently facing challenges, such as the complexity of understanding scientific concepts and the lack of practical approaches. Therefore, the present work seeks to report the contribution of a hybrid Science Club to the teaching of Human Physiology through investigative activities, promoting scientific literacy and the training of club members inside and outside the academic context. Keywords: Science Club; Teaching Human Physiology; Extension project.
