This article discusses narratives and drawings with geosciences themes within teaching at the conclusion of two in-service teaching projects in the primary and secondary school. The spotlight is in the developing activities by teachers of Portuguese, Geography and Art. These teachers developed interesting connections between reading and observation by building narrative texts, narrative descriptions, visual and visual-verbal representations (drawings) of objects of geosciences events. The historical explanations in Geology/Geosciences open a range of learning and teaching practices, which have been hardly ever been used in primary and secondary school. These practices which compose geosciences school explanations deal with images, perception and synthesis in their relationships between objects and spaces. This reasoning has been built and defined connected to casual reason and historical narratives, it becomes a more generalized concept in the special and historical context. In this case, the processes of knowledge construction are continuous and discontinuous among contextualization, decontextualization, synthesis and analysis.
