Abstract
This article proposes the use of teaching units in Natural Sciences to promote the development of scientific competencies in the use of scientific language, explanation of phenomena, and inquiry, as established for the fourth grade of elementary school in the E. E. Marco Fidel Suárez in Medellín (in the vicinity of the Cuarta Brigada headquarters). It is a case report in which a pre-test and a post-test were applied at the respective moments of the teaching-learning process. Digital educational resources were included, such as blogs, videos and interactive games, which increased the motivation of students to deal with the educational processes of their scientific competences.; in addition, they were given the chance to increase their capacities and desire to investigate, to learn from the interrelationship between the living beings, to develop curiosity for the exploration and analysis of natural phenomena, and to propose alternatives that help improve both their current living conditions and their environment.
