Abstract	This paper presents partial results of the research whose main objective is to investigate the meanings and uses of didactic materials in the teaching of Natural Science. Didactic materials contribute to establishing some of the conditions in which teaching and learning occur and fulfill specific functions according to the way they are used. In Brazil, specifically in the case of Natural Science, different resources and didactic materials are suggested in the National Curricular Guidelines (PCNs) and also in the guidelines elaborated by the authors of the textbooks included in the National Textbook Program (PNLD). However, despite the importance attributed to teaching materials, there are gaps in researches regarding teachers' and students' opinions about the resources used and their meaning in the teaching and learning of Natural Science. This exploratory study was carried out with three teachers who teach the final grades of Elementary School, in schools located in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (Paraná, Brazil), with the intent to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of the instrument for the main study. The results of the exploratory study showed that the instrument was insufficient to identify the resources available at schools and used by teachers in their practices; the formulation of some questions wasn't suitable to allow the identification of resources available out of the school, such as the natural and environmental resources, which is one of the objectives of the research. The exploratory study also highlighted that the teachers mentioned textbooks as the main resource used with other materials in a complementary way, suggesting the necessity to include specific questions about this resource in the instrument.
