Abstract

This work aims to disseminate in the early years of fundamental concepts of science and its natural phenomena, through the application of puppet theater and small experiments. In order to ratify the proposal, a staging by the puppet theater in the classroom was elaborated and applied with a group of students of the Elementary School of the Otavio Caldeira Afonso Municipal School, which belongs to the municipal teaching network of the municipality of Mazagão.
