Soil is a component of natural and anthropogenic environments and despite of its importance, the subject of soil is not usually taught in depth in the elementary school. The school has an important role in guiding and regulating the actions of the students in the use and soil conservation. The development of different strategies in relation to soil content, aimed to teaching-learning process on this topic was considered in this study. These strategies were devised based on the reference frame of the Meaningful Learning, as elaborated by Ausubel. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a proposal  for different teaching activity about soil supported by the theoretical principles of Meaningful Learning at science classes. The results showed that the use of soil thematic expanded the teaching and learning, as promoted greater interaction between students and mediation of the teacher, as well as conceptual advances and language in students. This work serves as a reference for future studies aiming to contribute to the improvement of science education.
