Related to the Environmental Education, the use of modern information and communication technologies represents an advance, since the integration of information technology and multimedia allows the sensitive and knowledge of different environments and their specific problems, by the view of students, as far as they can be. In front of these facts we made a school material, based on hypermedia, focused on Victorio Siquierolli Municipal Park, in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, for students of 5th and 6th grades. Through of the conception of Environmental Education linked to the complexity pedagogy, looked for work with all principles of Environmental Education on support digital, using images, texts and sounds concerning the Park, implemented by hypermedia, no sequential technology, which information are accessed in associative way. Through of the assessment with teachers and students we think about the use of hypermedia in Environmental Education in schools and about characteristics of their architecture. In complement of this thesis is a CD-ROM, with the hypermedia about Victório Siquierolli Park.
