The insertion of discussions focused on environmental problems through printed newspapers has been considered a good tool in the process of teaching and learning scientific concepts. It should be noted that the content of science presented in newspapers has great relevance for education. In order to evaluate such contributions, this work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of newspaper articles to work on issues related to water resources under usual classroom conditions. To this end, critical reading interventions were carried out, using printed newspapers, with students from Elementary School II. In view of the discussions on the subject, it was observed that the students of the basic education system do not understand information related to the management of water resources and its social and environmental implications, although it follows daily through the communication channels. The use of newspapers as a form of intervention in science classes allowed students to discuss new knowledge on the use and management of water resources, knowledge that was not part of its context. As a result, this work collaborated to guide students on the importance of sustainable management of water resources, expanding knowledge on the subject, promoting the teaching-learning process in science classes.
