The proposal of this work was to make educational product that approach the theme of Nuclear Technology and its Applications in the context of School Education, within a holistic vision, providing the development of a pedagogical proposal that enables the didactic transposition of scientific knowledge. In this perspective, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) were used, such as Hypermedia, a resource that allowed the interaction with various information related to the subject, starting from the pre-existing knowledge, with the purpose of observing the social representations About Nuclear Technology and its applications. It was intended to stimulate a reflection and search for solutions favorable to an environmentally sustainable future, awakening this student to the teaching of sciences, allowing their scientific literacy. Initially an investigation was done about the Nuclear Technologies means, through debates, addressing all the positive and negative points, reading texts, using videos and presenting dialogues on the subject. This interaction and this diagnosis, according to the Ausubel theory, allowed the student to construct his own knowledge, establishing connections of the everyday situations with the scientific knowledge addressed in the classroom. Also, the content was presented through scientific articles, simulations and applets, showing its origin and applicability through play material providing greater motivation to learn the concepts of nuclear energy and its technologies, as well as its importance for the socioeconomic and environmental development of a country. Problems were presented in order to stimulate the re-signification of concepts, followed by a verification of learning. From the work developed, a notebook was prepared with the pedagogical proposal, containing suggestions of texts, simulators, instructional videos, didactic activities, constituting a potentially significant material that could be used in the scientific literacy of students of basic education, especially for to stimulate the didactic transposition of nuclear and special knowledge and its applications.
