Chemistry is one of the subjects that is part of many higher education courses and as it is an area of science that has a theoretical-experimental character, there is a need for practical classes. The experimentation stage is important in teaching, as it can promote student autonomy and the development of cognitive skills. However, the restrictive measures due to the Covid-19 pandemic, implied in chemistry classes in an emergency remote mode, without experimental classes and the opportunity to handle atomic models for undergraduate students of the degree in Natural Sciences and Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology at the University of São Paulo. Thus, in order to report and analyze the students' perception of not offering experimental classes and the absence of atomic models in two chemistry subjects, two questionnaires were applied to two classes from two different undergraduate courses. The first questionnaire was applied at the beginning of the semester and the second at the end of it. According to the analysis of the results, the students felt harmed without experimental classes, requiring greater commitment on their part, requiring the use of alternative materials to complement the classes.
