The present work intends to present the analysis of representations referring science and  scientist of children who are part of a Junior Scientific Initiation project. The instruments used for the data collection were questionnaires and drawings, in which the analysis of this study were carried out from the Content Analysis the Laurence Bardin. With the results it was observed that the three students involved in the research have some stereotyped representations both in relation to the knowledge identified as science and in relation to the profile of scientist. It is expected, with the study, it is hoped that teachers will reflect on the information and activities they propose to students in science classes, being of great importance the previous knowledge of the students on these representations. Besides that, should teachers consider the fundamental Scientific Initiation Junior so that the students can express and extend their representations in relation to science and scientist, it is necessary that the school context modifies the ways of approaching subjects related to science and to scientists.
