This research arose from the interest to understand how much the interaction of visitors with the non-formal learning space could mean for the available knowledge appropriation by the expographic material. The aim herein was to analyze the conceptions about the digestive system and human food developed by elementary school students after visiting the exhibition “eat to live” at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Sinop, Brazil. The sample was composed of 31 students from the seventh grade of Djalma Guilherme da Silva elementary school, located in the municipality of Sinop. These students were 12 to 13 years old and were divided into three groups. Data collection was carried out through a conversation circle, during the class time and on a day determined by the teacher. Content analysis was performed to constitute the corpus of analysis and proceed with the interpretation of the phenomenon from the registered dialogues. The “Eat to live” exhibition provided an opportunity for scientific dissemination and knowledge popularization. By the analysis of the students’ speeches, we observed that they appropriated of scientific concepts and even divulged what they learned among their families. Some participants even reported habit changes after visiting the exhibition.
