Resumo: Interaction between student and content through the use of educational software can favor a more active position in the construction of knowledge, and also contribute to the meaning of the scientific content. This article presents the partial results of an investigation whose objective is the use and evaluation of educational software "The Law of Mass Action" in the teaching of Chemical Equilibrium. Through a didactic proposal made up of four meetings, applied to the students of the second year of high school, it was possible to identify the potentialities and limitations of software as an educational tool. The constitution of the data counts with observation, audio records and questionnaires. The analysis and interpretation is based on the assumptions of the Discursive Textual Analysis (MORAES, GALIAZZI, 2011) and the Theory of Mediated Action (WERTSCH, 1999), allowing to identify degrees of dominance and appropriation of students in relation to chemical equilibrium after interaction with the software.
