The research with a qualitative approach, developed through a field study, has the aim of analyze the teaching and learning in science, of deaf students of 6th and 7th grades of Elementary school, at a public school in Belém (Pará). For that, there were researched four students, fluent in Libras, considering their perceptions and the context they belong. The instrument for data production was a questionnaire written in Portuguese, translated to Libras. The results showed that visual perception, conditioned by deafness itself installed, not as a deficiency that produces learning limitations, but as a difference naturally observed and mediated for visual and spacial sense. It was also observed that to work with a deaf it is indispensable that the teacher has a minimum linguistic and communicational competence in Libras, in a manner that it is possible to happen a satisfactory communication for both, otherwise it will be necessary the presence of a mediator or a Libras interpreter.
