Chemistry and its relationship with the sport has been plaiyng a key role, through scientific and technological advances to the appearance of new substances and materials. Due to its great social relevance and being a matter of knowledge of students, the theme "sport" was chosen for the development of this research, a different approach being made to work out the scientific content of Organic Chemistry, third-year of high school students belonging to a public school of the city of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. From the work with students during the school year of 2013 different issues were addressed , such as the chemistry of sporting goods, through debates and discussions on scientific and technological advances in sports, the history and evolution of sporting goods and the study of polymers, biochemistry of exercise, in which issues related to the power needed to care were addressed, the study of different nutrients in foods, cellular metabolism and bioenergetics; as well as the study of prohibited substances in sports, desired by athletes in competition effects and side effects caused by improper intake of these substances. Data from this study were collected from questionnaires, textual productions, research papers, and records of the researcher in relation to the development of interventions, and analyzed by discursive textual analysis. Among the activities of this work, we highlight the experiment of synthesis of nylon 6,6, the preparation of a glossary as paradicdatic material, entitled "A, B, C. .. Chemical and Sports," and the resolution of several cases relating to doping in the Olympics in 2012 through Case Study. We are able to see the results from this research that the use of the theme "sport" favored the understanding of scientific knowledge of chemistry and its relationship with other areas of knowledge, by developing teaching methodologies that allowed the students' active participation, promoting greater interest and involvement of them in carrying out activities in the school.
