Teaching Physics within STS Approach: Contributions Between Sciences and Act 10.639/2003.

This paper is aimed to develop formative actions about Science Technology and Society (STS) relations in the teaching of Physics in order to integrate Act 10.639/2003, which includes African, and Afro-Brazilian history and culture in school syllabuses. Besides we also aim to overcome the challenges found in the educational system and to enable students to learn about the contributions made by African societies regarding to the Science and technology. The methodological procedure included a written questionnaire, pre- and post-test, both with the students. The results have been proven relevant for the teaching of racial relations in the classroom.
