The research aimed to construct and validate a Didactic Sequence on water microorganisms. It was developed with a group of eighty - nine students from the initial years of Elementary School, from a public school of the state network of Rio Grande do Sul, located in city Palmeira das Missões. Different activities were carried out, such as: modeling of microorganisms with modeling clay; observation of water samples under a microscope; and, a playful activity with the droplets of water Gotilde and Pingote. For the evaluation was made the construction of a text by the students, followed by content analysis. The results showed a good acceptance of DS, and all the activities performed were mentioned, with higher percentages for observation under the microscope and for the making of a three-dimensional model with modeling mass. The use of the strategies contributed to the better learning of the students, aiding in the recognition that the microorganisms can be in all the environments, that there are different forms and sizes; and that these microscopic beings are not only maleficent. In this way, teaching strategies were relevant, representing a potentially significant alternative in learning about microorganisms in the early years.
