In Brazil, the teaching of astronomy was brought by the Jesuits in 1534, but it was not a teaching based on experimentation, only from the 16th century onwards, with the aid of the telescope, did the search for an explanation of the relationship between astronomical phenomena with the dynamics of life, of earth and the cosmos. Nowadays, the teaching of astronomy is present in natural science books for primary school students, but the big challenge for science teachers is how to teach this science to students in the classroom. Thus, the objective of this article is to show that the “Astronomy Club” can be used by teachers as a great astronomical teaching tool, full of active methodologies whose main objectives are: developing and awakening students' critical and scientific sense; awaken youth protagonism; disseminate the teaching of astronomy and astronautics among society; develop the skills necessary to understand life and the cosmos.Acesso AbertoAstronomiaAstronáuticaMetodologias ativasProtagonismo JuvenilAstronomyAstronauticsActive MethodologiesYouth ProtagonismTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA
