Abstract: The teaching approach through the movement Science, Technology, Society and Environment (CTSE) is linked to scientific and environmental education and aims to promote a critical and conscious thought on aspects that are taking place around the world. When it comes to chemistry, his teaching is but a stage presentation of science as neutral for an interdisciplinary view, in the context of scientific research and its social consequences. This research aims to develop a didactic sequence with a CTSE approach using the water theme to develop chemical knowledge in high school. Evidenced by developing the activities of this research that the students involved have performed better with contents studied. Working with innovative approaches is important for the development of an innovative practice in teaching chemistry. The results showed that through education using CTSE was possible to create conditions for students to develop skills and expertise, making them able to discuss scientific and technological issues that permeate society.
