Visual tools have been proven be very important in teaching chemistry. These tools are effective to support the understanding of chemistry in the three modes of representation (macroscopic, submicroscopic and symbolic). Despite the importance of these tools, many teachers are not prepared to use them in classrooms. This arises the need of training teachers with skills to create methodologies using visual tools, since these methodologies can facilitate the students to develop abilities to interpret representations.This research aims to investigate if after training activities, the USP chemistry students of PIBID present in their didactic productions activities evidencing the development of representational ability and a high conceptual demand. The data collection was conducted by a follow up of the initial training with scholarship students of PIBID.After the training the students participated of chemistry classes at a school in the city of São Paulo. Those classes were sometimes planned by the PIBID students. At the end of the process the PIBID students wrote a report containing what was covered, their observations and evaluations. The analysis of the development of the interpreting representations ability was realized using a qualitative methodology, in which was used parts of the report that fits the CRM model, adapted from Schonborn and Anderson (2009). Since it was observed that PIBID students used several of the CRM model factors in their didactic productions, an analysis was realized to determine whether these productions also contained evidence of high conceptual demand. The calculation of the conceptual requirement level was done by a mixed methodology, involving the quantitative and qualitative method. The calculation showed that the reports had a satisfactory conceptual requirement level. We concluded that the CRM model can be used as foundation for teachers to plan their lessons in order to develop the ability to interpretation of external representations which is fundamental to understanding the chemistry by students. We also concluded that despite the use of the CRM model factors, it is necessary that the activities elaborated by the teachers had a high conceptual demand level.
