In a perspective of education aimed at human development, a methodology based on educational projects brings important implications for the teaching work at school which it is favorable to transformative changes in the modes of teaching and learning, in agreement with the needs and new ways of life, social relations and of working relationships of our time. This study concerns the implementation and analysis of how a proposal for teaching and learning based on experimental projects can motivate students of high school to learn the contents of Physics, as well as to help in constructing other important learning to human development. The proposal was implemented with 181 students of the first and second year of high school of the Escola Estadual de Educação Básica Thomás Fortes, Santiago, RS, using work by experimental projects. As data collection instruments, written entries (activity books and questionnaires) of the students and the teacher were used. The results analyses were done by using the content analysis method. In general, it was observed that the students had a good receptivity to this type of approach, because they realized actors of their own learning. However, it is evident that to achieve this, we need a different posture of both the teacher as the student, and the attitude of the first influences in the development of the attitude of the second. In this work, it was observed that the students indicated they have an interest and responsible attitude regarding the construction of their own knowledge. As a result of the implementation of the proposal, it was produced a digital media in the video format to give visibility of the educational process with the experimental projects.
