The present result integrates several years of work in the socialization of paleontological knowledge in different generational groups. Theoretically were assumed international experiences in this field and the advances that epistemologically took the paleontology as an independent science. As object of this report, was taken, the socialization of paleontological knowledge, undertaken with 34 boys and girls, of the primary education, in the city of Havana from the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. The objective was to show from quasiexperiment the potentialities of these processes to increase the cultural and scientific knowledge among participant children. The activities developed were sustained theoretically from the informal curriculum, the work with small groups and the inclusion of ludic contents. Methodologically was assumed a quasiexperiment as strategy, in which the program developed was the independent variable and the results of motivation and learnings of the participants became dependent variable, measured before and after receiving the influences of the program actions, which showed positive results, verifying the departure hypotheses.
