This research is done to investigate the effect of environmental education on improvement of elementary school students’ attitude about animal rights by Semi experimental method. The statistical population was including the elementary school students, boys and girls of a public school in the city Bardaskan.Sixty girls and sixty boys from fourth, fifth and sixth grades were selected through a simple random method, then the selected samples were divided into two experimental and control groups of 30 students. At first a pretest was given to both groups. After two weeks of pretest, at the end of the training sessions of both experimental and control groups a post test was applied. The related data of pretest and posttest were collected by a questionnaire based on attitude towards animal rights. The reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was calculated through Cronbach alpha (0/64). The Ancova covariance analysis test was used for analyzing the information. The test results showed that presenting active and purposeful education to students has a significant effect on students attitude improvement towards animal rights and also there is no significant difference between male and female students' responses (sig = 0.38).
