http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2236117010743This text is a report about a didactic experience of Natural Science with the view to promote learning of students of Basic Education using dramatization as a cooperater to the comprehension off an abstract theme about scientific knowledge, as is the atomic structure of chemicals. The representation of the atomic structure by the students was coordinate by the teacher through questions to the groups who represented the different components of the atom (Electrons, Protons and Neutrons). The action from the questions of the teacher consisted in to acts: the atom composition; the ionization; quantum leaps of an electron; and the nuclear fission. It follows that the students had a better comprehension of the theme from the skit in the classroom.
