Abstract
The project "O Ciclo das Rochas em Terras Fluminenses" (The Rock Cycle in Fluminenses Land) was created by the Department of Geosciences/UFRuralRJ and the Secretaria de Educação de Estado do Rio de Janeiro (State Department of Education of Rio de Janeiro) to promote an knowledge update of high school teachers. Its structure involves phases of individual and collective learning on key topics related to geological science. Subjects are discussed in modules offered over one semester through classroom and online tracking. The participants are encouraged to work with their students in getting data about the local geology, analyzing the landscape and collecting local rocks and minerals. The working groups are defined by the schools using their own criteria and each project is accompanied by a geology professor. The material collected by the groups is classified and discussed in terms of their origin, transformations, application in human life and other characteristics that apply to the samples. Students work with maps and images of their natal region, recognizing geological and geographic familiar features. Finally, students and teacher of all schools are grouped into a meeting to present and discuss their results and the diversity of their geological heritage.

Summary
Em 2009, o projeto VideosTerra, executado pelo Departamento de Geociências da UFRuralRJ com a proposta de divulgar ciências geológicas por meio de filmes educativos finalizou o documentário O Ciclo das Rochas em Terras Fluminenses, onde são apresentados conceitos básicos sobre geologia, contextualizados no cenário fluminense. Submetido à apreciação por parte da Secretaria de Estado e Educação do Rio de Janeiro (SEEDUC), o documentário teve seu uso como material didático aprovado, com a solicitação, por parte da Coordenação Estadual de Educação Ambiental, de que sua distribuição fosse precedida de um curso de atualização a ser oferecido a professores atuantes na rede pública de ensino, abordando os temas focados no filme. Deu-se início, em 2010, ao Projeto “O Ciclo das Rochas”, sob a forma de um curso de extensão cujas linhas gerais foram traçadas em conjunto com a SEEDUC e que teve sua primeira turma composta por professores pertencentes aos Municípios de Itaguaí, Paracambi e Seropédica e ao bairro de Santa Cruz, no Rio de Janeiro
