Environment for almost ten years in primary school level. Then, the environmental education
had been replaced in subject science and local study. In 1998, the effort toward the important
of environment literacy had been showed when Curriculum Development Centre had
students.
Science is the most relevant subject to implement the environmental education because
of the relationship of the concept of the science with the environment itself. Malaysian had
been achieved four out from the ten objective on science curriculum that had been outlined by
Curriculum Development Centre. Which is to get knowledge on technology and science and
A study that had been conducted in high school education curriculum which is to
investigate how much environmental knowledge had been implement toward Form four and
Form five sciences subjects which is Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The study showed that
Biology subject had the highest implementation of environmental knowledge compared to the
This study was carried out so that science teachers are able to know on how depth the
environmental knowledge had been covered in the sciences subject and how far their student
for about more than 20 years not just by the education system only but by the government as
well. As we can see that a lot of alternative that had been taken by the government organization
and non-government organization as well to make people know the important of environment
This is because of what we can see nowadays that destruction of our environment had
become more and more serious. So, the other alternative to make people know about the

The study that had carried out on the implementation of environmental knowledge
toward the subject biology ,chemistry and also physics showed that all of this subject are related
to the environmental nut it had just covered on the surface of the syllabus.
But the study also show that biology subject had been contribute more on the
environmental knowledge compared to the chemistry and physics subject. Almost all topic in
Form five biology subject had related to the environmental knowledge. Physics had the least
that can be found in physics subject except in Form four syllabus which is energy, power and
efficiency. The environmental knowledge also can be find more on Form four chemistry
Teachers can used the research that had been conducted so that the teachers need to take
responsibility on how to implement more deeper on the environmental knowledge except from
the syllabus only so that the students will know the important and also had the consideration
