Conceptual maps are graphic organizers used to represent knowledge, created in the 70s. This work is qualitative research, of the case study type, whose target audience were students of the second year of high school, in the subject of chemistry, in a public state school, located in the metropolitan region of Sorocaba, in addition to the participation of the teacher responsible for this discipline. For the development of the work, initially the students participated in a workshop to learn the fundamentals of conceptual mapping, later activities were elaborated that covered the contents studied in the two-month period, using the maps as a methodological strategy. Additionally, the teacher's records regarding the work developed were used. These records collaborated with the discussions about the pedagogical mediation process. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to point out that the use of conceptual maps as a didactic pedagogical tool contributed to the promotion of an environment of questioning, interaction and dialogue regarding the themes addressed in the conceptual maps elaborated by the students.
