This article presents an example of how we can, meaningfully, teach Physics for high school students of Youth and Adult Learning cours es, on the grounds of the theories of Paulo Freire, David Ausubel and Joseph Novak. The work was developed due to a concern about the results obtained from a private school in a town of Rio Grande do Sul. A prelimi nary survey, carried out with teachers in the region, showed that most of them did not adopt different approaches to students of regular school and those of youth and adult classes. Based on the legislation for youth and adult learning, as well as on the National Curriculum Parameters for high school, we developed our research taking into account professional characteristics common to most students in the region, which resulted in the choice of a theme related to the production process of leather. The development of this project and its results formed the basis for a master's thesis and its results were sufficiently promising to contribute to the activity of other teachers, both regarding youth and adult learning and regular courses.
