Two groups of students from the fourth grade of Yongjing elamentary school of Chanwha county were selected. The experimental group received STS instructional model and the control group received didactic instruciton method. Questionnaire results were analyzed with the SPSS V12, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and analysis of covariance methods. The results are as follows: From the analysis of students’ background information, we found that there was no significant differences between girls and boys in their Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction knowledge and attitude. The educational levels of students parents had no correlation with the Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction knowledge and attitude of the students. From the analysis of paired samples t test, we found that there were significant positive effects in Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction knowledge and attitude in the experimental group and the control group. Before teaching there were no significant positive effects in Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction knowledge and attitude. From the analysis of covariance, we found that there were significant positive distinction in Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction knowledge. However, in Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction attitude there was no significant difference between experimental group and control group. Finally, the researcher proposed some suggestions for the institutions of education and school, school teachers and future Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction research.
