To carry out this research, we counted with the participation of 90 students, divided into three distinct groups. Group 1 - 30 students were used to approach the content with links to the science lab, group 2-30 VLAB students used the software as an educational tool for detailing the content, group 3-30 students used the space of the classroom so traditional. The measurable to be highlighted was the success factor in the cognitive development of students in group 2, who used VLAB and had significant improvement in their grades compared before and after this research, conditioning is a percentage increase in 85 % of these notes, learning identified by didactic intervention applied.
