RESUMO: O Projeto ‘O Instituto Geofísico da Universidade de Coimbra: História e Património das Ciências da Terra e do Ambiente em Portugal’ (HISTIGUC) envolveu professores e alunos dos ensinos básico e secundário em atividades relacionadas com a história da ciência entre os anos de 2018 e 2023. Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever uma dessas atividades que envolveu professores e alunos no desenho de vários episódios históricos da vida científica dos Observatórios da Terra e do Espaço
da Universidade de Coimbra, com o objetivo de ilustrar um livro sobre a história destes dois estabelecimentos científicos. Os trabalhos dos alunos foram desenvolvidos durante os anos letivos 2021/2022 e 2022/2023 e culminaram na elaboração de um e-book havendo planos futuros para publicar uma versão em papel.
ABSTRACT: ‘The Geophysical Institute of University of Coimbra: History and Heritage of the Earth and Environment Sciences in Portugal’ (HISTIGUC) Project engaged lower and upper secondary school teachers and students in activities related to the history of science between 2018 and 2023. This article aims to describe one of these activities that involved teachers and students in drawing several historical episodes of the scientific life of the Earth and Space Observatories of the University of Coimbra to illustrate a book about the history of these two scientific establishments. The development of this activity took place in two phases. Firstly, researchers from the HISTIGUC Project selected and wrote a significant set of 18 short texts. These texts aimed to portray central and unavoidable historical episodes at the Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory of the University of Coimbra (OGAUC) over the years. In the second phase, two Art teachers were challenged to collaborate with their students to illustrate these brief historical accounts. This partnership between historical research and artistic expression allowed a multifaceted and enriching method for historical narrative and STEAM approach. The students’ work was developed during the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 school years and ended in the creation an e-book with plans to publish a paper version.
