The Environmental Education developed at school is deemed essential to stimulate the participative and reflective position in the resolution of socio-environmental issues. This study refers to field research conducted in four (04) educational institutions with the objective of verifying the curricular constituents of the Environmental Education presented in public and private schools in Paramirim, State of Bahia, and the understanding of sixth-graders students concerning the environment. The research is classified as exploratory research subjected to the experimental phenomenon with the movie “Rio 2”. Data collection has been obtained through questionnaires. For the students of the “Ulysses Caires de Brito High School”, 40%, and “Arco Iris High School”, 67%, revealed no significant changes in attitudes when attending the sixth year. For the students of the “Ulysses Caires de Brito High School”, 26.3%, and “Vereador Arlindo Francisco de Souza”, 22.2%, it is a transversal approach.
