This report refers to an extension activity, called a models workshop, carried out by the proponent professors with the students of the Environmental Engineering course of the University of the State of Minas Gerais (UEMG) - Passos Unit. The main objective was to enable graduate students to reinforce the learning of the themes and concepts treated in the academy, for the preparation of thematic models that have been and will continue to be presented in educational events and exhibitions, in order to make people aware of the importance of environmental protection. We believe that the approach, through models, of the issues that involve Environmental Education is an effective way to teach environmental concepts to people, especially to children and young people. The models allow their observers to better visualize and understand natural systems and the impacts of human activities on the environment.
