This paper aims to present the profile and activities valued by teachers who teach science in the early years of elementary school in the city of Mariana-MG. Data collection was performed by applying questionnaires distributed to 55 teachers from public schools. The analysis of the results showed that, although the vast majority of the teachers had a college degree and, therefore, attended methodological disciplines about science teaching, the course did not influence their practices. It is concluded that although the teachers do not deny the importance of science classes, this knowledge does not have the same status as Portuguese and math classes. For the teachers researched, experimental activities such as those performed in science classes are not part of the daily routine of their pedagogical practices, although they do not deny the importance of this discipline.
