Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the organization process of Physical, Chemical and Natural Sciences subjects during the period of 1882 to 1950. Therefore, we use as main sources normative texts from the legislation that regulate these disciplines in secondary education, particularly in Sergipe, handwritten documents such as records, letters, reports, guestbooks, among others safeguarded documents at Center of Education and Memory of Atheneu Sergipense - Cemas, and photographs of teachers on field trips, classes, laboratories, offices and meetings. The words and images reveal the syllabus, the characters involved in the story, the moments that they needed to register the practices of their classes in the process of constitution and consolidation of Physical, Chemical and Natural Sciences in secondary education of Sergipe.
