| Summary: | The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the introduction of simple experiments in
science classes with traditional teaching and its influence on the teaching and learning process, facilitating
communication between teacher and student to break existing barriers in daily school life. The survey was conducted
in two groups of 7 years of primary school, a school of public health system of Santana do Ipanema in which a pre-test
were applied, and a post-test with semi-structured questions that addressed points regarding the process of
metabolizing fungi. The 7th grade "A" was used as the test class the 7th grade "B" as the control group. The control
class that is where the content was taught in the traditional manner with lecture and class test that where a simple
experiment on the content discussed was applied. For data analysis, the chi-square, which consists of a hypothesis test
that assesses the association between qualitative variables was used. The results revealed that there was an
improvement in the results in both groups, highlighting an increase of 38.46% in the control group result after the
presentation of content and an increase of 86.66% in the test group after application of classroom practice. The results
from the practice shows the need to seek new methods that provide subsidies for the improvement of science
education, providing student learning from the interaction between theory and practice.
