This work presents a study on the teaching and learning of concepts related to the hydrostatic principles for basic education in a meaningful learning perspective, according to a pedagogical approach based on the history of science as a means of contextualization and in experimental practices in an investigative approach for knowledge constructing. Participants are twenty one students from the second grade of a public high school. This study aims to evaluate limits and possibilities for the learning and the teaching practice of these contents in an investigative approach based on experimentation and the history of science. The instruments of data collection are observation, focus group, protocols of activities and open questionnaire. The conclusion obtained suggests that the teaching methodology adopted was considered innovative and promoting of learning due to interest, dialogue and argumentation in the classroom, helping to make the student an active actor in the process of learning, in addition to making this process enjoyable for both students and for the teacher. However, the teaching methodology used in this study did not include the participation of students in the planning and execution of experiments, according to the participants themselves, which points to future directions of teaching practices which consider in planning teaching some assignments for students as autonomy and responsibility with their own learning.
