This article addresses the relevance of comics books to the classroom context, especially in Science teaching. Research points to the growing insertion of comic as a didactic resource; thus, we present a proposal for a comic book about the “Food Chain” content, organized sequentially in the light of the Meaningful Learning Theory (MLT). Gradually, the comics have been gaining space and have consolidated in the formal teaching environment. Their use has the potential to facilitate the construction of scientific concepts, since in the Natural Sciences, many subjects are complex and require greater cognitive abstraction. In addition, the language used in the comics favors enjoyable learning, because it is understood as a motivational resource. The motivational factor is elementary for any learning process, and in the school environment, it is essential. It is expected that the discussions presented in this work collaborate for the expansion of pedagogical strategies in Science teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
