Quando Vem Devagarinho… É a Brisa!
Brisa Suave teaches the difference between a breeze and the wind: gentle, slow-moving air that comes in through an open window, bringing freshness and comfort.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Natural ventilation: the breeze as a renewal agent for indoor spaces and the importance of opening windows.
Curriculum connections: Physics (air movement), Language (onomatopoeia) and Geography (climate).
Learning goals: Tell a breeze from the wind by intensity; link natural ventilation to thermal comfort and respiratory health.
Suggested activities: Experiments with light materials (feathers/ribbons); symbolic wind measuring; poems about air.

A Casa que Espirrava
The Nasty Dust Bunnies make the whole house sneeze! Open windows, damp-cloth cleaning and Zuppy the air purifier show how to keep rooms clean.

IAQ theme: Dust and suspended particles; ventilation, cleaning and technology (purifier) as complementary care.
Curriculum connections: Science, Hygiene and Health, Math (counting).
Learning goals: Identify dust as a cause of discomfort; learn effective cleaning methods (damp vs. dry cloth); shared responsibility for the environment.
Suggested activities: A "Dust Bunny hunt" game; hands-on demo of particle retention with a damp cloth.
Characters: Poeirinha Malvada and Zuppy
Vampiro Elegante
With his classic cape, the Elegant Vampire teaches respiratory etiquette: sneeze and cough into your elbow and wash your hands after — prevention turned into play.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Respiratory etiquette: preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria, plus hand hygiene.
Curriculum connections: Biology, Public health, Ethics and Citizenship.
Learning goals: Teach the elbow technique; understand the link between droplets and illness; foster social responsibility.
Suggested activities: Acting out the "elegant sneeze"; a water spray bottle to visualize droplet spread.
Characters: Vampiro Elegante
O Senhor Sufoco Foi Passear
Mr. Stuffy loves still, stale air — but let fresh air in and off he goes! About ventilated rooms, plus the golden rule: windows are for adults to open.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Effects of CO₂ build-up in closed rooms (fatigue, loss of focus); window safety.
Curriculum connections: Chemistry, Biology, Safety and Education.
Learning goals: Link ventilation to cognitive performance; internalize safety rules (windows operated by adults only).
Suggested activities: Class debate about sleepiness; posters about window safety rules.
Characters: Senhor Sufoco
Acarão e a DER
Acarão shows where dust mites live (rugs, mattresses, cushions) and the clumsy DER explains why their residues trigger allergies — and how cleaning reduces exposure.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Dust mites and allergenic residues (DER); preventing respiratory conditions through environmental control.
Curriculum connections: Biology (microorganisms), Chemistry (proteins) and Math (scale).
Learning goals: Understand the "invisible"; identify dust-mite hotspots; learn deep-hygiene preventive measures.
Suggested activities: Watching particles in sunlight; collective list of dust build-up spots at school.
Characters: Acarão, DER, Arley and Zuppy
Dom Split & Split Splot
In the air-conditioner hip-hop, Dom Split (clean and elegant) and Split-Splot (with his mold hairdo) show why filters and maintenance make all the difference.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Cleaning and maintenance of air-conditioning units; how neglected equipment affects air quality.

Suggested activities: Circle talk about the school/home air conditioner; contrasting drawings of the two characters.
Characters: Dom Split and Split-Splot
O Rock da Fumaça Teimosa
A fireplace makes the house cozy but burns oxygen: to the sound of rock, Puff and Pull spring into action to renew the air and send the Stubborn Smoke away.
📚 Teaching notes — themes, curriculum and activities
IAQ theme: Combustion and oxygen consumption in closed rooms; air renewal (supply and exhaust).
Curriculum connections: Science (combustion), Health and Safety.
Learning goals: Understand that all combustion consumes oxygen; recognize signs of heavy air (sleepiness, tiredness); value air renewal.
