O jogo consiste em viajar pelo ciclo do nitrogênio passando por moléculas e organismos envolvidos neste ciclo. Inicialmente o jogador toma a forma de uma molécula de nitrogênio molecular e deve clicar nos seres vivos mostrados na tela para descobrir se tal organismo assimila a molécula. Após conhecer o Ciclo do Nitrogênio, o jogo requer execução de missões que irão exigir dos alunos a aplicação dos conhecimentos sobre o mesmo, adquiridos nas partes 1 e 2 deste jogo. Os alunos passam a asumir o pepel de Zep, e deverão compreender o papel que cada criatura de seu planeta desempenha no ciclo; quais são as relações existentes entre as diversas criaturas e o balanço entre a produção / consumo ...

O podcast foi pensado como mais um episódio de um canal de podcast chamado ‘Visitantes”, que aborda a fauna, em especial a urbana, que pode cruzar o caminho das pessoas eventualmente ou regularmente. A ideia é fornecer informações sobre os animais e as formas de manejo caso sejam expostos a diferentes formas de contato. Nesse episódio, o animal em questão é o morcego, e por isso, no início do podcast ouvimos sons de morcego e somos imersos na narração por sons de ambientes noturnos, característicos dos hábitos dos morcegos. Esses pequenos detalhes ficariam em maior evidência com a produção de outros episódios, que teriam os sons de início e ambientação específicos dos animais em questão. Cri...

Vídeo de cunho educativo, para apresentar o artigo a respeito da produção de uma planta transgênica capaz de emitir luz a olho nu utilizando as vias metabólicas da luciferina. A obtenção de plantas que brilham no escuro cativaram a imaginação de cientistas e leigos. Embora a emissão de luz tenha se tornado um marcador útil da expressão gênica, a bioluminescência nas plantas permaneceu dependente do substrato fornecido externamente. A bioluminescência nas plantas está no início das descobertas e além de aprendermos melhor como funciona o maquinário bioquímico das plantas também abre as portas para uma forma sustentável de iluminação no futuro.

30cm Members of the Caprimulgidae family are very difficult to tell apart. The best clues to recognize the Pauraque are its very typical song and the fact that it is one of the few nighthawks to get so close to urban areas. The Pauraque spends the whole day quietly sat on the ground, so well camouflaged that it is almost impossible to see. It remains quiet when approached, but when you are too close the bird flies in a fast zig-zag, and lands few meters away. It is curious to notice that even landing close it is difficult to see. The eggs are laid directly on the ground and have an earthy color. The Pauraque can be easily seen on dirt tracks at night, when its eyes reflect the cars’...

18cm Unlike the Red-crested Cardinal ( Paroaria coronata ) the Red-cowled Cardinal does not have a crest and the absence of black patches on the head and throat distinguishes this from the other Brazilian cardinals. This bird is endemic to the Brazilian Northeastern semi-arid region called ``Caatinga´´ where it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songbirds. Its beaty often costs its freedom as thousands of these birds are captured in the wild to be kept as cage birds. There is large illegal traffic of these birds throughout Brazil and even to other countries. Several specimens, and even established breeding populations have been reported considerably far from its original distrib...

It is the Brazilian Symbol Bird and this title has recently been given for its strong presence in the country’s popular culture, especially in poetry and music.

This thrush lives in farms, forest edges and is especially common in urban parks, being one of the most typical birds in some of Southeastern Brazil largest cities. The very beautiful song is very variable, even at the individual level.The real song can only be heard in the spring, the breeding season when th...
