| Abstract (English): | This article presents the results of a study in natural sciences education, aimed at analyzing potential contributions to teaching astrobiology to children in early schooling stages through a popular science text. The text serves as a resource for the cultural transmission of scientific knowledge in educational contexts, as demonstrated at the Rodrigo Lara Bonilla School in Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá. The research focused on the creation of the text "The Cosmic Clock: The Story of Life Near Chaos," which explores the origin and evolution of thermophilic life and seeks to enrich teaching possibilities for educators by providing edu-communicative materials tailored to diverse contexts. The study employed an interpretative approach and was developed using a research-creation methodology. Techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis were utilized. The text design combined narrative content with expressive forms including alphanumeric, iconic, and figurative elements, guided by semiotic and didactic categories. The narrative nature of the material facilitated a coherent representation of the phenomenon of extreme life and encouraged meaningful engagement by children. Validation of the resource involved a scientific communication expert and students from the Astrochikis Club children's research group. The conclusions highlight the importance of expanding science education by fostering early experiences with the astrobiological sciences code, aiming to broaden children's cognitive horizons while recognizing their capabilities as individuals immersed in a more inclusive and meaningful scientific culture.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Este artículo presenta resultados de un estudio en didáctica de las ciencias naturales, cuyo objetivo fue analizar posibles contribuciones para la enseñanza de la astrobiología dirigida a niños en etapa de escolarización inicial, mediante un texto divulgativo, como recurso para la transmisión cultural del conocimiento científico en contextos educativos, como fue el caso del Colegio Rodrigo Lara Bonilla de Ciudad Bolívar, en Bogotá. La investigación se centró en la creación del texto "El reloj del cosmos: historia de la vida cerca del caos", que aborda el origen y evolución de la vida termófila y busca enriquecer las posibilidades didácticas para profesores al ofrecer materiales educomunicativos adecuados a contextos diversos. La investigación tuvo un enfoque interpretativo y se desarrolló mediante la metodología de investigacióncreación. Se emplearon las técnicas de observación participante, entrevista semiestructurada y análisis de contenido. El diseño del texto combinó la forma de contenido narrativa con formas expresivas alfabético-numéricas, icónicas y figurativas y se guio por categorías semióticas y didácticas. El carácter narrativo del material facilitó una representación coherente del fenómeno de la vida extrema y promovió su significación por parte de los niños. La validación del recurso incluyó a un experto en divulgación científica y a estudiantes del semillero infantil Astrochikis Club. Las conclusiones resaltan la importancia de expandir la enseñanza de las ciencias promoviendo experiencias iniciales en el uso del código de las ciencias astrobiológicas desde edades tempranas, en pro de ampliar el horizonte cognitivo de los niños, y reconociendo sus capacidades como sujetos inmersos en una cultura científica más inclusiva y significativa.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo sobre didática das ciências naturais, cujo objetivo foi analisar possíveis contribuições para o ensino da astrobiologia dirigido a crianças em fase de escolarização inicial, por meio de um texto divulgativo, como recurso para a transmissão cultural do conhecimento científico em contextos educacionais, como foi o caso da Escola Rodrigo Lara Bonilla de Ciudad Bolívar, em Bogotá. A pesquisa se concentrou na criação do texto "O relógio do cosmos: história da vida perto do caos", que aborda a origem e a evolução da vida termófila e busca enriquecer as possibilidades didáticas para professores, oferecendo materiais educomunicativos adequados a diversos contextos. A pesquisa teve um enfoque interpretativo e foi desenvolvida por meio da metodologia de pesquisa-criação. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de observação participante, entrevista semiestruturada e análise de conteúdo. O design do texto combinou a forma narrativa do conteúdo com formas expressivas alfabético-numéricas, icônicas e figurativas, e foi orientado por categorias semióticas e didáticas. O caráter narrativo do material facilitou uma representação coerente do fenômeno da vida extrema e promoveu sua significância por parte das crianças. A validação do recurso incluiu um especialista em divulgação científica e alunos do clube infantil Astrochikis Club. As conclusões destacam a importância de expandir o ensino das ciências, promovendo experiências iniciais no uso do código das ciências astrobiológicas desde cedo, a fim de ampliar o horizonte cognitivo das crianças e reconhecer suas capacidades como sujeitos imersos em uma cultura científica mais inclusiva e significativa.
