This article aims to present a pedagogical proposal to promote Inquiry-based Science Education (IBSE) through Virtual Thematic Modules (VTM). For the development of the proposal, we took into account four principles articulated with the information and communication technologies (ICT): 1) Science Content by Themes; 2) Use of repositories, learning objects and other digital resources; 3) IBSE; and 4) the role of the teacher and the use of digital technologies. Our idea is to provide a starting point for the construction and implementation of a didactic approach grounded in IBSE, and mediated by ICT for science learning. This pedagogical proposal, based on the principles of VTM, seeks to favor the arguments of the participants (written and oral) through the teacher's encouragement, especially during the hypothesis and interactions held with the digital resources.
