This research work was developed during the Supervised Curricular Internship of the
IFAM/CMC Degree in Chemistry, which had the general objective of promoting a didactic
sequence through experimental activities with low cost and everyday materials to teach
science. in the 6th grade of elementary school and encourage the production of scientific
writing. To achieve the general objective, we define as specific objectives: To present a
theoretical framework that portrays science teaching in elementary school II; Show the
importance of contextualization and experimentation in science education; Develop a
methodology based on experimental activities that work respectively the valuation of students
writing using the logbook; To evaluate if the methodology helped in the students' teachinglearning
process. The methodology used consisted of three steps. In the first moment a verbal
diagnosis was made with the students, to get the starting point, from the previous knowledge
about the discipline and about the importance of air to the living beings in the students
understanding, generating a debate in the classroom. and the application of the initial
questionnaire. The second moment corresponded to the application of the five experiments,
followed by explanations during the class, addressing air properties issues and asking students
questions about the subject. In the third and last moment, the production of the Logbook was
requested, which consisted of reports about the relevance of the methodology applied in the
classroom from the students' perspective, highlighting the experiments and the knowledge
acquired during the experimental class, in order to stimulate writing and scientific literacy.
Considering what was obtained in the results, it was found that science teaching is
fundamental, especially in the early grades, which end up reflecting on the importance of
discipline for students and encouraging the individual to observe the world with a glance
scientific.
