The purpose of this work was to use Hydrostatic and Electrostatic experiments to complement the theoretical activities of Physics in high school classes. The methodology was based on the assumptions of Vygotsky's theory of mediation and applied in a state school in Rio Branco and a federal institution in Sena Madureira, located in the state of Acre. The research was applied in the 2nd semester of 2015, 2nd semester of 2016 and 1st semester of 2017. The work contains a sequence of experiments, texts and exercises that seek to motivate students to learn Physics. Evaluative exercises and questionnaires were applied, and the results were significant. Based on these results it was possible to notice that the use of experiments in the classroom promotes a better understanding of theoretical concepts, favoring students' learning.
