The presence of Astronomy Teaching in Basic Education in Brazil is limited despite the importance of this area for the educational and scientific development of students. Considering this scenario, a didactic sequence proposal was developed. The sequence was developed in Observational Astronomy and based on David Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Learning, seeking to promote the construction of knowledge in a contextualized, meaningful way, connected to the students' reality; considering the importance of valuing students' prior knowledge and the integration between science and reality. It was observed an improvement in comprehension and understanding of issues mainly related to megaliths and astronomical observation.
