Abstract
Beaches and seawater are potential sources of parasite infection because of the contamination of these natural resources by sewage and human feces. Thus, the general objective of this work was to identify, together with the students, the protozoan parasites present in seawater, as a tool to complement the theoretical knowledge of the Microbiology discipline. The students, through the knowledge discussed in the classroom, were able to identify, in seawater, collected in the Municipality of Caucaia, the presence of Euglena, Ameba and Paramecium. The characteristics of these protozoa, possible diseases that they could cause, as well as the benefits that some of them can bring to the environment were discussed with the students. The present project contributed to meaningful, dynamic and applied learning about the content of protozoa.
