The main purpose of this study is to design the picture books activities of carbon reduction and energy conservation for fourth-grade students and understand the learning achievements, attitude and daily behavior of fourth-grade students after the implementation of carbon reduction and energy conservation. This research conducts an action research and focuses 30 students in a 4-grade class as research subjects. This study tries to investigate the teaching effectiveness and solutions for particular problems by applying classroom observation, action learning checklist, interview data and reflection notes, along with two quizzes before and after the class on carbon reduction and energy conservation. The findings of the research are described follows. 1. It is feasible to promote the education program of carbon reduction and energy conservation for fourth-grade students through the picture books. （1） The design of teaching activities including the picture book teaching, topic discussion and extended activity can increase the effectiveness in learning carbon reduction and energy conservation for fourth-grade students. （2） The teaching strategies implementation of carbon reduction and energy conservation education and picture books topics matches up situation design, discussing teaching and video watch can increase the interests for students’ learning. 2. The knowledge and concepts of students can be significant improved through the picture books teaching activities of carbon reduction and energy conservation. It also has positive and significant effects on students’ attitudes and behaviors; Students can build up their responsibilities for carbon reduction and energy conservation in their daily lives. （1） The teaching activities on picture books can significantly increase the effectiveness of students in learning carbon reduction and energy conservation. Students also can acquire and change their knowledge and concepts about carbon reduction and energy conservation. （2） Students can connect with their daily lives experiences through picture books and incubate their attitude toward carbon reduction and energy conservation in their daily lives habits, and change their behaviors. 3. Teachers’ professional growth can be significant ameliorated through picture books teaching of carbon reduction and energy conservation. （1） The processes of conducting picture books teaching can increase teachers’ professional knowledge as well as the interaction between teachers and students in order to meet the achievement for teachers’ teaching methodology. （2） The dialogues between teachers and teaching assistant can promote the teachers’ professional growth and teaching effectiveness. The suggestions are provided based on the conclusions of this research for the references of teaching faculty and school administration as well as future researches.
