Botany, one of the study areas of biology, is seen by many teachers as an obstacle to didactic transposition. The teaching of botany sometimes occurs in a fragmented way and without contextualization, in an approach that hinders the proper learning of concepts. In order to understand the construction of the scientific concepts of twenty-four high school students about botany subjects, we used the Sequência Didática Interativa (SDI), with the follow-up of the elaboration of knowledge in steps and in interaction between students. As a result, it was observed that many conceptions of students are reaffirmed after the didactic sequence, new concepts appear in the formulation of arguments and a holistic view is produced, articulating the plants with the different levels of organization in Biology.

Keywords : Teaching; Concepts; Botany.
