Lesson Plan Proposal on Molecular Paleontology for insertion in the discipline of Paleontology of undergraduate courses in Biological Sciences

Molecular Paleontology has not been included in the syllabus of the discipline of Paleontology in undergraduate courses in Biological Sciences. However, if inserted in the discipline's Teaching Plan, Molecular Paleontology could bring future biologists closer to Paleobiology, a field of research that is practically unexplored in Brazil. Therefore, it is considered that Molecular Paleontology is relevant for composing Lesson Plans that consider emerging research fields to be explored by future biologists. Thus, the objective of this work was to elaborate a Lesson Plan, with introductory contents of Molecular Paleontology, and to propose it as a model to be inserted in the discipline of Paleontology of undergraduate courses in Biological Sciences. The final proposal of the Lesson Plan brought an already anticipated synthesis of paleomolecular knowledge, which can streamline educational action and minimize the difficulties that arise during the research and the choice of material by the teacher. In addition, the instrument is applicable in just two class hours. It is believed that, in the way the educational product was thought, it could enrich the teaching pedagogical practices, expanding the baggage of the teacher's didactic-pedagogical contents and instrumentals and promoting the formation of a new generation of professionals more qualified to deal with scientific issues emergin
