The society experiences environmental problems that are becoming worse as the relations between the human being and the environment are dynamic and complex. I assume the principle that in the scope of Science and Biology Teaching there is a space to approach and to contribute in understanding the ways to overcome environmental issues. Thus, this dissertation research began with the following guiding question: "How do professors of Sciences and Biology appropriate the discourses and produce meanings about social and environmental themes?" With the objective of understanding the functioning of the discourses of Science and Biology teachers of the state network of Rio de Janeiro on themes involving the environment and society. For this, I make the reflection from the theoretical references of STS Education and Environmental Education and as a theoretical-methodological reference the French Discourse Analysis. Research is characterized as a qualitative and empirical investigation. I present the analyzes of the speeches of three teachers based on analytical categories established a priori based on the objectives of the research. From descriptive and interpretative movements it is possible to observe that the discourses about the environment and society are crossed by different senses, linked to conditions of production, having some relation with the practices of the teachers. The senses oscillated between aspects of separation and approximation between humanity and nature, carrying theoretical associations of traditional / conservative Environmental Education as well as Critical Environmental Education. The relation between sustainability and the environment in its polysemic and controversial character was constituted in the discourses as well. In stating their practices, teachers eventually reveal discourses close to a naturalistic view of the environment, or discourses with enunciations of problematizing and critical practices close to STS Education.
