This research, with a qualitative approach, aimed to verify whether the use of texts journalistic leads students to perceive the relationship between Physics content and facts everyday life. This study was carried out with 28 students, aged sixteen to nineteen, from a third year high school class, in Physics, from a public school of teaching in Jataí. It was proposed to the students to work in group the physical concepts studied (mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, electricity, light sound, electromagnetism) from of scientific dissemination texts or journalistic texts. Through questionnaires semi-structured, 100% of the students answered that there are no activities with texts from newspapers and / or magazines in the Physics class. It was possible to verify that, from journalistic texts, the class becomes more dynamic, making it easier to understand the contents, the view of everyday life, the physics of everyday life. Finally, in addition to piquing curiosity, andlead students to perceive the link between Physics content and everyday life experienced by them, this is an important complement to the textbook.
