  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.
