This paper brings a master's research performed by the first author who considered her own teaching and learning process as the study object. The objective was to analyze the development of two investigative sequences (IS) in the construction of students' physical knowledge about the phenomenon of the floating of bodies in the water, reflecting on their teaching practice. The research was carried out with her students from the 4th year of elementary education in the school were the teacher works and the process was recorded in video and noted in the teacher's field diary. Two investigative sequences on which the students were led to actively develop concepts related to the studied phenomena through experimentation and collective reflection, were performed. As a result it was evidenced that the participating students were able to exercise reflective thinking, to create and test their hypothesis on problem solving, to broaden everyday concepts about the phenomenon of fluctuation and to develop autonomy related to their own learning process. It was also possible for the teacher to improve her classes through analyzes, mediations and systematized reflections in the investigative process of the practice itself.
