SUMMARY:
 
 Currently, there is a consensus regarding the importance of discussions on the Nature of Science at all levels of education. However, there is no consensus on what to teach about Nature of Science, and on how to carry out these discussions. In addition to the fault of consensus, it is observed that such discussions are often not present in classrooms. To offer support to resolve these issues, several Nature of Science approaches have been disseminated in the literature, one of which is based on the Model of Science for Science Education version 2 (MoSSE v.2). MoSEE v.2 presents Science as a complex activity, which can be analyzed from different areas of knowledge, with each of these areas having its constituent aspects of the Nature of Science, which are defined in detail. In our research, we highlighted that MoSSE v.2 has been used for two purposes in Science Education: (i) proposing teaching situations about Science; and (ii) as an analysis tool in the context of discussions on the Nature of Science. Within the scope of publications about the model, little was discussed about the use of MoSSE v.2 in proposing teaching situations by teachers. In this work we discuss how a teacher, who works in middle and high school, used MoSSE v.2 to evaluate and plan teaching situations involving Nature of Science. To investigate this situation, we used the case study methodology and found that the teacher expressed eight aspects of the Nature of Science when reflecting on how she would approach in her classes a didactic proposal referring to a socio-scientific case about the collapse of the mineral tailings in Brumadinho (MG). And in her didactic proposal on the development of atomic models she expressed seventeen aspects of the Nature of Science. We concluded that the teacher: i) managed to promote discussions using MoSSE as a base; ii) had difficulty in differentiating two areas present in the model, namely Anthropology of Science and Sociology of Science; and iii) demonstrated that they were more comfortable using MoSSE areas rather than aspects. We point out that our discussions encourage reflections on elements that can contribute to the insertion of discussions on the Nature of Science in the classroom, especially from MoSSE. And we highlight the importance of investigating the use of the tool in real teaching situations promoted by basic education teachers, as well as emphasizing the relevance of discussing Nature of Science from different teaching strategies, such as historical, socio-scientific cases and investigative activities.
