Preventing drug use is an important action that can occur with the teaching of science and health in elementary school. Students sometimes are subject to a possible start to drug use by the desire to insert a group and be exposed to a large number of users; thus, it is believed that preventive action can be more effective than treatment of addicts. Thus, this paper describes actions of drug prevention in schools with students of class 8th year of Morning State School Antônio José de Lima, whose theme was Drug Prevention. To this end, content which match the reality of students applying probing questionnaire, lecture, dynamics, assessment questionnaire were worked out, and finally proposed the making of an educational product that materialized through a site powered by the students themselves, with information on prevention of drug use.
