Observation and contact with different types of living organisms contribute to the learning nature science concepts. However, it is not always possible to provide this approximation with some forms of life due to geographical conditions. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the modeling of invertebrates as a didactic resource is capable of promoting the construction of science learning. This descriptive and exploratory study took place in the second half of 2019 and involved 52 students from the 7th years of elementary school at the State School Professor Maria Esther Peres, in Vila Rica / MT. It was proposed to build representational models of the organisms belonging to the 8 phyla of invertebrates and their respective habitats. After socializing the material produced, the students answered a questionnaire containing 12 questions that served to evaluate the activity. The concept, criteria for differentiation and importance of invertebrates, the contributions of modeling, difficulties encountered and the assessment of activity were identified. Therefore, using modeling in science education was a didactic strategy that contributed to the construction of learning about invertebrates.
