The study evaluated the use of a multimedia educational game about STD / SIDA among students from the 6th grade of Elementary School to the Junior high school students from two public schools in Rio de Janeiro State and their contributions to teaching Science and Biology. The study was carried out from the direct observation of the material use and the questionnaires application to the students. The results revealed that the game stimulated the debate and clarified doubts and points of view on subjects related to the teaching of natural sciences and sexual orientation, foreseen in the National Curricular Parameters. Students were curious about the computers use, indicating the potential of multimedia resources as a teaching strategy. It is understood that educational resources do not replace investments in teacher training and the necessary improvements in public education systems, but they can provide subsidies for educators in approaching diverse topics.
