When it pointed to the person, it is capable to receive the infrared radiation emitted and, thus assess the temperature without needs of touch. However, this device was target of several announce transmitted from the social media. The assess of temperature have stopped to be measured in forehead, like the beginning of pandemicto be measured on the arm or hands of the clients who entered the local trade. This change of behavior noticed in the region, expose a concern: the power of false news or fake news in the social behavior. This article thus discusses the needs of promote the scientific literacy, highlighting the dangerous of the emptying of content and expropriation on the role of the teacher as the knowledge transmitter. With the final results, we show the scientific concepts involved in the assess of temperature by the infrared thermometer with the purpose of promote and disseminate the scientific knowledge in a trend of opposition to the conspiracy theory’s rising.
