The Ministry of Education (MEC) has announced the curriculum integration in Brazilian secondary schools by areas of knowledge as proposed by the patterns of ENEM (National Secondary Education Examination). With this change the subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology would be taught by a single teacher under the name of "Natural Sciences". Through documentary research we intend to show in this article that, although this change is still under discussion, it is happening in many schools, being perfectly legal from the point of view of official documents. This change is also encouraged by several public policies of the Federal Government, such as ProEMI expansion (Innovative High School Program), textbooks reformulation and ENEM universalisation. In our literature review we also show that interdisciplinarity has been studied and approved by research in Physics/Science education only during specific situations in the classroom and not in an integrated manner, showing that this change proposed by MEC has no scientific support.
