The use of experimental activities in Physics teaching, with an opportunity for everyone to express themselves, participate, dialogue has demonstrated its effectiveness in Science Fairs, which are scientific and cultural events held in schools or in the community, giving students dialogues with visitors and vice versa. Therefore, it is an important methodology in the development of new skills for students, while at the same time the realization of these Science Fairs creates a space for the development of scientific culture. In this way, our great questioning starts from the constant transformations in which society lives, in particular, the contemporary demands for the performance of the Physics teacher in Basic Education. Starting from the experiential school context of Basic Education, does the experimental activities help in the quality of the teaching of Physics by the students? Given these reasons and in the way of teaching and learning, we thought of a proposal of work that we could analyze the use of experimental activities of Physics that will be presented in a Science Fair for the understanding of the contents. With this, the following problematic emerged: what are the contributions of experimental Physics activities, which will be used in Science Fairs, in a Basic Education school, to understand the contents and training of high school students? As the formation of the physicist-educator continues to be rethought with the focus of training teachers with a solid knowledge and able to make physics a pleasurable science, since this is seen by many students as difficult or bogeyman. We understand that the use of experimental activities is of utmost importance for a science such as physics. Thus, we aim to analyze the use of experimental activities in the understanding of Physics contents by students who participated in an exhibition of Science Fairs, from planning, through execution to culmination, at a state school in the municipality of Cubati -PB. To verify that it does not necessarily have to pass through the domain of its more complex language, that is, of mathematical formalism only; Does require some scientific knowledge, but that should allow the understanding of its consequences for people's daily lives. In this way, when understanding the world and participating in decisions have citizenship, and also a way to participate in power.
