Being scientifically literate demand knowing aspects of the Nature of Science, certain concepts and scientific contents, knowing how to recognize their context and apply them to everyday situations. Therefore, understanding how the documents that guide education discuss the Nature of Science is fundamental. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify and analyze the approach of aspects of the Nature of Science in official curriculum documents aimed at Basic Education. For this, we analyzed the National Curriculum Guidelines for Basic Education - DCNEB, the National Common Curriculum Base - BNCC and the National Research Council, A Framework for K-12 Science Education. The analysis showed that the Framework for K-12 Science Education emphatically discusses the Nature of Science, while the DCNEB and the BNCC carry out incipient approaches to the Nature of Science aspects.
