Continuous learning is essential for the teacher intending to share knowledge and promote learning to learn. Thus, we searched for tools that provide a "living classroom”. Moreover, aware of the inherent challenges of teaching and learning biological evolution at different levels of education, we seek to highlight the interrelationships in the various activities that permeate a didactic sequence and the learning of concepts. We applied a conceptual construction of mutation, biodiversity and natural selection which are the necessary introductory topics for the understanding of biological evolution with a didact sequence and was carried out with 9th grade elementary education students and sought to privilege their active participation in the learning process and to stimulate the student's interest in the subjects discussed, an important step for the construction of knowledge and competency. Our results show how complex it is to teach/learn about biological evolution to Elementary education students and encourage us to state that motivating educational events enrich the pedagogical process, can provide a better assimilation of concepts and should be avail more frequently in our classes.
