Abstract
The purpose of this survey is to verify students' understanding of environment and energy education at the early stages of entrance into junior high school. A questionnaire was given to 100 students. The information learned by watching TV and from integrated studies had been previously the biggest opportunity for the students to study conservation. Students in these familiar surroundings want to learn by experience and through observation and experimentation. Although students recognized the importance of studying of conservation, they were not highly motivated to study. The tendency of not wanting to grapple with energy saving and environmental measures because it makes life were inconvenient was stronger in the female students (p<0.01). Learning by experience needs to be promoted using integrated studies in order to improve the understanding of the importance of conservation.
