This study aimed to map publications through a systematic literature review to analyze the contributions of experimental activities in Science Teaching, proposed for Basic Education in Basic Education. For this purpose, the search platform of the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) was used, in the period from 2010 to 2020. To obtain the articles analyzed in the BDTD, we used the descriptors together “Science Education”, “Experimentation”, “Experimental Activities”, “Science Education”, “Experimental Practices” and “Elementary Education”, of which seven works met the inclusion criteria. Finally, it is possible to state that significant learning occurred in all the works, and most of the Dissertations and Theses analyzed present arguments that characterize experimentation as a didactic resource capable of motivating, arousing interest, creating interactions between students and them with teachers, instigate criticality and make the student relate Science with the reality that surrounds them.
