- Abstract
This work describes the experience obtained by research group at a university, during the execution of four different Scientific Research Activities Projects (PAICs). These projects were conducted by high school students from public schools, in a period of four years, where they focused their attention in the experimental activities of the scientific research. The results obtained indicate changes in the students' cognitive and attitudinal development. Due to the nature of the proposed activities, the students played an active roll which improved the learning of scientific concepts and also the hand skills involved in the experimental activities. The development of the projects inside the university environment helped the students to demystify the work of the scientists and the sometimes misconceptions about the university. In this way, the projects allowed the students to develop and improve their skills and to get new perspectives for their future professional lives, and as a result, 9 of the students entered in the most renowned universities in São Paulo State, Brazil.
