A total of 157 male and female students aged 15 to 20 years. The methodology employed was qualitative in nature. A questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument, field notebook and participant observation. After the application of the previous questionnaire, the content proposed in our research with an expository class dialogue was started contextualizing the importance of plants in the daily life, mechanisms of absorption and conduction of substance by the plant and phytoremediation, Later, a demonstrative lecture on the conduction of substances by plants. At the end of the activities and as an evaluation students were asked to write a text using the botanical terms used during the classes and the application of an evaluation questionnaire. Among the results obtained with our research we realized that the students still had knowledge about phytoremediation technique and were very participative both in the demonstrative class and participation in the questionnaires.
