In this article we will describe a pedagogical experience developed in a high school with the goal of getting students to learn about chemical reactions and the nature of science through a research process. Based on the theory of Complexity (Morin, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2015, 2020), a didactic sequence was carried out in which students produced precipitation reactions on a white cloth, so that the phenomena involved in “works of art” resulting from it were interpreted and registered using chemical theory and scientific language, concluded with validation between peers. As a result, the proposal made it possible to elaborate curriculum knowledge based on an investigative process that introduced science as human activity at the same time creative and interested of which the principle is the search for reliability criteria. By utilizing experimentation and art to stimulate investigation, we understand that the proposal was successful regarding the construction of knowledge of science and scientific practice, and that the validation process of such acquired knowledge, involving debating and sharing, is a powerful didactic tool to learn science’s complex nature.
