ABSTRACT: The present study constitutes a reflection about the Teaching of Science by research as a practice that facilitates Scientific Literacy in the early years of elementary school. Seeying the teaching of physical knowledge is little explored in the early school years, we applied a learning sequence addressing the theme "Where does the rainbow?" The idea of working with the theme appeared from the series of videos “where it comes from?” shown on School TV. In view that Lorenzetti e Delizoicov (2000) define the scientific literacy as a process in which the language of science wins meanings, enabling the expansion of culture, we started working with the idea of proposing ways of organizational learning appropriate to that purpose. The qualitative research and action research type was developed on days 04th and 05th August from 2014 in a 5th year of elementary education in a Municipal School of Palmeira dos Indios, AL. For both, we used questionnaires and made use of the audio recording of the lesson. We worked with the transcript data and how to interpreting the same procedure we used content analysis. The results revealed that students when invited to do investigations, similar to those made by scientific culture, develop conceptual content in a context endowed with meaning and significance. In this way, students become able to use scientific concepts as tools for reading, understanding and meaning of the world, that is, alphabetize scientifically theyself.
