This paper reports the searching for meaningful learning evidences from the construction of experiments proposal executed by the students and presented at a science fair. The proposal was applied to a group of technical high school of the Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (IFES), campus Guarapari, and included 27 students. It was done a preliminary analysis of dissertations about physics experiment at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo( UFES ), Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRS) and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). It pointed Meaningful Learning as more approached reference, tied with Motivation. For data collection the Conceptual Maps were used before and after the construction of the experiments, pre and post test related to "safety degree" and its respective answers, besides student assessment. Data analysis was mainly qualitative approach. The results obtained by data collection showed improvement in the quality of the Conceptual Map made after the usage of the proposal and an appropriation of new and greater concepts. The post test took more hits after using the proposal and the safety degree revealed that the students were safer, based on their answers. The student evaluation questionnaire indicated increasing of the grade given by the students to the professor/master student who applied the proposal. It may be a reflection of a motivating activity. Based on the results that are presented about the analysis of the cases of significant learning, we can say that the construction of experiments proposal, also called the intervention, was successful. At least concerning to the concepts related to reflection mirrors and energy transformation.
