Biological, geological and environmental knowledge from millions of years on Earth constitute the foundations of Paleontology. The teacher has a role in disseminating this knowledge in an objective manner and with accessible language, but difficulties are encountered in teaching due to the lack of didactic materials. We seek to encourage science teachers to teach Paleontology through workshops for making replicas of fossils in schools. The qualitative approach involved the application of semi-structured questionnaires to 10 teachers in two moments. In the results, the participants stated difficulties in teaching about Paleontology, due to the low production of didactic material, which makes many teachers use only the textbook. The workshops were effective alternatives in the development of knowledge indispensable to the teaching profession. The use of replicas proved to be important to facilitate the teaching-learning process, arousing the students' interest and making the classes more dynamic.
