Besides, hard science instructional at school could not affect or intervene the graduate’s characteristics, for instance in keeping the environment awareness. Whilst, there are many concepts of environment were taught through hard science especially biology, so in the researcher’s point of view, biology subject has strategic role to prevent or mitigate the environment disaster caused by human error. The model was validated at paddy ecosystem. The analysis of the research result includes three aspects, namely: 1) Comprehension, 2) Environment Care Attitude, and 3) Handbook Readability. Based on the result of paddy ecosystem data analysis, it was found that (1) there was a significant difference between experimental class and control class in the paddy ecosystem base on show by tcalculation> ttable (6.150 > 2.00); (2) there was strong correlation between students’ comprehension and attitude base on show by coefficient correlation (r) 0.769. While the text readability test (Cloze Test) show (1) the readability of paddy ecosystem text is 56.72% (moderate).
