This article carries out an approximation of the elements that should be taken into consideration in order to strengthen the scientific and environmental education, parting from some reflections made from the pedagogical praxis. This can be categorized as a documentary research developed under a bibliographic design. To conduct the analysis of the selected corpus, based upon textual and electronic sources, an analysis technique proposed by Cassany in 1995 was used. Based on the analysis of the data it can be concluded that some considerations about conceptual and procedural learning in addition to the use of the topographical, conditionals and sequential structures are elements of particular importance along with the procedural, conceptual, attitudinal, interactive coexistence contents to strengthen the processes of teaching and the learning of science and environmental education in the Venezuelan context, with a purpose to optimize the quality of scientific education received by our students.
