Abstract:
This paper discusses the contribution of science classes given in natural environment for building aesthetic values up. From two different experiences on research in science teaching, with 6th grades of public elementary school, it have become evident the degree which such implicit aesthetic values, in these educational activities, emerge from students behavior and from their graphic representations about the studied environment. The obtained results suggest that students have developed aesthetic values on those classes, without theacher's interference in terms of proposing reflexion about the aspects of vegetation or the importance on preserving it.
