Science teaching exceeds the assimilation of scientific terms and concepts, in order to establish learning conditions to the students, thus to contribute to students’ knowledge construction. Our objective was to reflect on this process, based on Freire’s perspective and other authors who worked with science education in educational spaces. We carried out readings and recordings of the work of Paulo Freire, aiming to lend a new meaning to the Freire’s ideas. We also conducted research readings on science education in non-formal spaces. All facts points to the use of non-formal educational spaces, those located beyond the school walls and considered as complementary environments to formal education, due to facilitate the dynamics of learning to learn. Based on the analysis, we envision a formative education, in which the subject is able to dialogue with the scientific information that guides his life context.
