This article seeks to report an intervention activity developed using university scientific experience as a strategic tool for teaching biology and scientific dissemination. The activity was carried out with 20 high school students from a State School located in the city of São Mateus-ES and developed at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) - São Mateus campus. Visits took place in 3 days and they were carried out in the teaching and research laboratories of Zoology, Botany, Genetics, Cell Biology, Human Anatomy and Ecology, in addition to the Herbarium, Zoological Collection and Experimental Farm. The students followed the technical-academic work and research carried out in the laboratories, got to know the methodologies used in scientific research, carried out technical research activities and procedures in the laboratories and discussed the use of science for social purposes. At the end of the visits, the students answered a questionnaire. The students felt interested and attracted by their experiences and presented changes in their perception of Biology. After the visit, 89% of them said they liked Biology more and better understood the importance of science in their daily lives. In this sense, the realization of practical activities aimed at scientific experience contributed to the learning, interest and change in the perception of students about Biology so that science came to be understood as a tool of social formation.
