In Science Education research, pesticides are considered promising for a discussion on the social aspects of science and technology. Considered to be a controversial subject embedded in a sociocultural network, discussing it involves not only conceptual, political, economical and social aspects, but alsopublic and environmental health issues that need to be considered when addressing it in the classroom. Thus, this work discusses some of the dimensions present in the use of pesticides in the Brazilian context, providing theoretical subsidies for the discussion of the theme in the classroom. On the basis of the articulation between the Science, Technology and Society (STS) movement and the Freirean educational perspective, we discuss some of the aspects around the subject through the definition of a web of relationships based on the Thematic Network proposal, explaining dimensions related to the economy, to the environment and public health, as well as to public policies and social participation.
