On the occasion, the students participated in experimental practices, with a view to verbalizing ideas and answering a questionnaire directed to the activities carried out, as well as making considerations about the “Thematic Day” proposal. The analysis of the results reveals that theactivitywas relevant for the students, since they felt comfortable in the exposition of ideas about some chemical concepts, which collaborates in the construction of new conceptions in relation to this Science.
