This article makes a qualitative analysis of a Didactic Sequence (DS) for Elementary School, elaborated with the vermicomposting theme to promote Scientific Literacy (SL). SD is an organized and applied teaching methodology to facilitate learning. SL is a continuous process of understanding and applying scientific meanings and concepts. The vermicomposting is the recycling of organic matter resulting from the action of earthworms and microorganisms, which was applied in the DS to promote the research process and SL. The students recorded the contents assimilated during DS in logbooks, which were analyzed in light of the 10 indicators of SL proposed by Sasseron (2008). The results of the indicators were: high - for data collection; mean - for structuring thought; low - to establish relationships, the latter being the element that should be better worked through teaching.
