In regular primary education necessarily in the area of genetics is essential, the adoption of practices for the cognitive and intellectual development of the student. The different methodological forms for the approach of the subject by the teacher in the classroom are of extreme importance to obtain a meaningful learning. The present work deals with the adoption of a practice called paternity test that was applied in two classes of the eighth grade of elementary school, helping in the contents of heredity. The application of an investigative questionnaire to probe the student about the knowledge of the terms that they have already heard was fundamental for the accomplishment of the activity. The expression paternity test often appears in television programs, so some students who usually watch TV have a familiarity with the terms referring to content that involves heredity, facilitating the adoption of their respective scientific meanings with the help of teachers in the classroom. The aid of practical classes for teaching genetics is an important point to encourage learners inserted in all processes that involve paternity testing. Emphasizing the role of the teacher in seeking meaningful learning and stimulating the student to finalize the suggested activities, thus learning the scientific terms.
