Abstract
The research of the integration of Environmental Education in science subject matter by application of MOTORIC Learning models has carried out on Junior High School Kupang Nusa Tenggara Timur Indonesia. MOTORIC learning model is a Environmental Education (EE) learning model that collaborate three learning approach i.e. character approach, contextual and multimedia approaches. MOTORIC consists of seven components which constitute the acronym namely: Motivation, Observation, Talking, Orientation, Reinforcement, Implementation and Confirmation. The purpose of this research is to improve the junior high school students’ knowledge about the environment. Futhermore, the study was carried out in February-May 2014, with a sample of class VII students of junior high school in Kupang Indonesia. Environmental education materials are integrated in this study include energy, living sustem, pollution, waste management and conservation. Data was measured by using multiple choice test of environmental knowledge. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The results showed at 95% confidence level (? = 0.05), the integration of Environmental Education materials in science subject matter of junior high school through application of MOTORIC learning models effectively improve students’ knowledge of the environment by 64.15% in large groups of students meanwhile 68.07% in small group of students.

The results showed at 95% confidence level (α = 0.05), the integration of Environmental Education materials in science subject matter of junior high school through application of MOTORIC learning models effectively improve students’ knowledge of the environment by 64.15% in large groups of students 68.07% in small group of students
The implementation of MOTORIC model on a small group of samples is done by inserting environmental messages on key words science lessons that can be attributed to the environment
Summary
Nature is a source of life for humans. man cannot escape from the reliance by nature and the environment. For example: deforestation causes erosion, floods and landslides that resulted in a lot of human casualties due to the avalanche of soil, the problem of air pollution in large cities due to the heavy use of motor vehicles, water and soil pollution, the attitude of people who still throw waste and littering the land, global warming, greenhouse effect and many others phenomena that portrait of environmental degradation. From this fact, it is needed community awareness to protect nature that has limitations and should be preserved for the continuation of existence of mankind in the future
