Analogies are considered as helpful didactical recourses, it serves to mediate the learning process of concepts/phenomenon/subjects unknown, through the establishment of relations of similarity and differences with familiar situations. In this paper, we presents the results of our investigative actions about the utilization of the analogies produced by students as evaluation of the comprehension conceptual about Internal Energy, performed in two classes of 2ª grade on high school. We constitute one set of criteria/category, from the propositions found in the literature about that thematic, which were used to analysis these analogies. We found that none analogous used by the students had origins in the own Physics domain and the major part of them were from concrete nature. The major part of the students got to establish effectively relations analogue between the analogous proposed and the concept target. From the obtained results until the moment, we can afirm that the production of analogies by the students shows as a good strategy of evaluation, so to comprehension of the involved concept as the procedure of think by means of analogies.
