This work was done in order to reorient the math teacher in expanding its didactic approach to teaching logarithms in the classroom. The aim of this study is to investigate the interdisciplinary content of the logarithm, to serve as a motivation for learning in a high school class. Literature search was undertaken to produce this work indicates the possibility of the presentation of logarithms of contextualized and interdisciplinary way. Using some facts from the history of mathematics teacher can give the student more sense to this content and applications. In this regard, we point out some practical applications of logarithms in the study of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, and the use of logarithms for the calculation of pH and applications in acoustics. Some suggestions of activities, in which some were applied to two groups of high school (NEJA), teaching young people and adults, the West Zone of the City of Rio de Janeiro are cited. First, we apply an initial questionnaire before the activities by assessing the students' prior knowledge about the facts of the history of mathematics and the relationship of mathematics and other sciences. At the end of the implementation of activities, we apply a final questionnaire assessing whether or not the activities motivated students in pursuit of knowledge. At the end we report the experience and opinions of students.
