This paper presents the implementation of an innovative didactic proposal to perform practical activities in a microbiology course for students of pedagogy in biology and natural sciences. The proposal arose to solve the need for practical experiences in virtual format in the context of pandemic. The methodology consists of the design and delivery of a portable laboratory set to the homes of the course students and the implementation of experimental activities assisted virtually by the course teachers (an expert in microbiology and an expert in science didactics). The experimental activities included microorganism culture, Gram stain and the elaboration of a personalized investigation. Obtaining the results of this implementation was perform through a didactic sequence of virtual sessions, the observation of the students during the practical work, reports of results made by the students and a semi-structured interview with the students with emphasis on the valuation given to this experience and the perception about the learning achieved.
