Abstract

This article tries to think about the relation among physical education and environmental education in the context of physical education in high school, and was theoretically elaborated through a bibliographical revision. The work was structured as follows: in the first moment we analysed the importance of environmental education in the formal education of students, especially for those in high school; the second point was to analyse physical education in this school level; and finally we indicated the possibility that the matter environmental education, an interdisciplinary topic, could be part of the knowledge discussed in physical education during high school.
