We report in this work a didactic experience that sought to disseminate concepts and discuss astronomical phenomena with young students of Elementary School (ES) with indicators of high abilities, within the scope of a university extension project developed in partnership with the Resource Room for High Abilities / Giftedness, which brings together students of public basic education at the ES Jean Piaget in Porto Alegre, RS. A preliminary qualitative analysis of some teaching episodes is offered and provides evidence that activities involving ludicity and stimulation to interaction and dialogue tended to favor engagement, socialisation and enculturation of scientific concepts. Some reflections on the importance of this type of project and activities focused on diversity in the scientific education are also offered throughout the text.Downloads
