Educational videos on YouTube seem to play an increasingly important role at students education, especially in the study of nature sciences subjects. This research investigated the relationship of high school students with biology educational videos available on the YouTube platform, regarding frequency, motivations and preferences of use. A questionnaire was applied to 132 high school students from Colégio de Aplicação of Federeal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis. Subsequently, a focus group was formed with eight randomly selected students for deepening. The analysis showed that Biology videos on the YouTube platform have been frequently searched for the study of the curricular contents of this discipline and the main motivation of use is to get good grades in exams. In addition, it was observed that there is a group of more watched channels, which present a preferred class model among students, these results indicate the use of videos as a means to repeat a model that already happens at school.
