This work aims to describe and interpret characteristics of previous conceptions of 18 fourth-year Basic Education students, in the context of initial years regarding concepts of heat and temperature. For this research it was used a qualitative approach with descriptive object, by adopting the case study as procedure. As instruments of data collection, there was the formulation of a mind map, a semi-structured interview, and a conversation group. The diagnosis reveals that students have their previous ideas essentially from a sensorial perspective, which implies in not differentiating the concepts of heat and temperature, association of heat to high temperatures, as a substance, as a type of fluid, which belongs to the body and could penetrate others. Furthermore, temperature is presented in two dimensions, hot and cold, but identify the thermometer as an instrument to verify temperature. The results make possible to structure a sequence of studies, which won’t be object of this article, that consider what the students know and make them progress on a more scientific perspective of the concepts.
