Abstract
The concept of soil varies with the look of each individual and the use made of it. The pedological approach to environmental education began in the 90s of XX century, seeking to awaken rational land use and conservation, both in formal and non-formal education. In Brazil, called, Soil in School Project started in 2003, with the same goal. The National Curriculum Parameters (PCNs) bring the soil theme as a crosscutting theme in elementary school, both in the subjects of Science and Geography. We investigate what children of elementary school know about soil in Sao Paulo-SP. For this, we participated in workshops and offer lectures for children and teachers. We realized that the child know about soil like people in general, even having already learned about the subject in school. In this regard, we emphasize the importance of education in Soils for it to be seen not only for economic purposes, but also as an important element of the environment and the maintenance of life.
