It was chosen the descriptive research within a qualitative perspective, and the surveyed group composed of four science teachers from the 2nd to 5th grade and two of physical education of Elementary Education at a private school in the city of Natal-RN. Besides, three groups to experience the school laboratories. The instruments used to meet the number-3 goal focused in this article are: reading and analysis of books used in the classroom by teachers of science these grades and three lab-lesson plans experienced in groups of 2nd, 3rd and 5th grades of school.
