Remote Sensing (RS), together with the Scientific Method, allows the construction of a focused learning based on observation and research. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the contribution of activities, which involved Remote Sensing (RS) and the Scientific Method, for the improvement of science education among primary school students. The activities were carried out with students from 5th and 6th-grades, and were performed at the Federal University of Santa Catarina Campus Curitibanos (Curitibanos - SC). Students attended a lecture regarding RS main topics. Afterwards, they exercised an implementation of practical activities related to the RS using satellite images. It was observed that the topics were already part of the students’ previous knowledge. Also, it was revealed that the use of materials produced with RS, as maps used in the activities, or other educational materials assisted in the learning process. These RS materials improved students and teachers interest. Finally, it was concluded that the application of RS as an interdisciplinary activity, additionally to the scientific method, allowed into an improvement of students’ knowledge. Students began to observe the consequences resulting from land use and land cover changes. They were able to appoint causes of those changes. They also proposed ways to work around or avoid situations which degrade the environment.
