Currently, it is argued that the objectives of Science education should promote students’ participation in the conceptual, social, epistemic and material dimensions of scientific work. In this context, studies emerge about how norms and practices of scientific communities can be promoted in the school, creating the need for tools that enable this process of analysis. In this paper, we present a tool based on references that comprise the construction of knowledge as a social practice and that assists in the identification of operations of teachers and students that show how scientific norms and practices are shared in class. In an example of application of the tool, we seek to point out its possibilities of use and its potential to relate norms and practices.

Keywords : Cultural Norms; Cultural Practices; Science Teaching.
