Since school alone does not meet current demands, formal education needs to use new teachingapproaches. In this context, the non-formal learning space complements the formal space. This articleanalyzes how the use of the amazonian natural environment Museu da Amazônia (MUSA) isconfigured as a learning opportunity in high school chemistry classes, in order to verify the perceptionsof Basic Education students with the non-formal environment of learning. For this, the research hasinvolved third year high school students from the state public network and the MUSA, located at ZonaNorte, Manaus-AM. The data have been collected through observations, questionnaire, andconversation round. These instruments have been analyzed using Textual Discourse Analysis. It hasbeen possible to show that the use of this natural environment has great potential for chemistryactivities, in such a way as to enable an articulation between formal and non-formal education,besides contributing to more interesting classes and providing social interaction. It has been identifiedthat, if well exploited, it can positively impact teaching and learning. Furthermore, this space hasshown potential to be applied to different school levels and knowledge areas.
