This text presents the results of a qualitative research coming from an intervention project carried out during the Supervised Internship course of Biological Sciences Degree at the Federal University of Amazonas, and developed with the main objective of investigating the conception of the participating subjects in the research about their concepts in Environmental Education and Interdisciplinarity. The intervention took place in the 1st year of high school and had the voluntary collaboration of 31 students from the morning shift. To achieve the proposed objective, in addition to the application of questionnaire, the researches used participant observation. The questionnaire application as a data collection instrument took place in two phases: at the beginning of the intervention in order to probe the students’ prior knowledge and at the end to verify the possible knowledge learned by the students. Furthermore, as a didactic strategy, conversation circles, lectures with the theme “Recycling and Reuse” were carried out, and finally a workshop that gave students the opportunity to put into practice some theoretical knowledge, as well as clarify any doubts and even formulate new questions. The results pointed out that the research participants showed interest in turning the actions experienced in the intervention process into a project with more effective actions and through interdisciplinary attitudes to reach the maximum number of followers among the student, teaching and administrative body of the school.
