A more responsible vision for environmental protection can provide guidelines for educational activities aimed at developing environmental awareness among young people. These activities require planning and theoretical background, often from the textbook. In this way, the present work sought to verify how the Environmental Education aspects are approached by Science Didactic Books, observing if the approach contributes to the construction of a profile of expected knowledge, and also if the books are in line with what is desirable for the teaching of the subject linked to scientific education. The analysis included a sample of textbooks available at a public school in the region of Rio Grande do Norte. The results showed that the number of pages that have some indication for Environmental Education is still restricted and that there is a lack of sustainability information linked to the theoretical content of the analyzed books. When present the information is related to a specific content, mainly in the copies indicated for the 6th year of Elementary School. Thus, it can be concluded that there is the possibility of associating teaching with environmentalism, using it as a facilitator in order to provide the maximum educational benefit and exploratory potential of it for learning.
