In addition to the aforementioned instruments, the researcher's oral speeches (discursive interactions) with the participating teachers were used as field notes. The observations of the classes were carried out from May to October 2015 and made it possible to understand the pedagogical practice used. As a final product, two Didactic Sequences were elaborated as the theme: for the 4th year, Life cycle of human beings: being born, growing, reproducing, aging and dying; for the 5th year, the theme was Basic Sanitation: treated water. It is concluded that the results of this study allow teachers to stimulate the teaching of Sciences and contribute to the students to have greater learning.
