Renewable energy sources have more advantages than fossil fuels to generate power, especially to save environment. However, like every new emerging technology, they need to be publicized in a suitable way. Education plays a crucial role to increase awareness on energy and environment and develop positive attitudes toward renewable energy sources and environment. In this study, elementary science course books from fifth to eighth grade have been analyzed in terms of sufficiency for energy and environment education. Also, a survey has been conducted to a total of 191 pre-service teachers of which 62.3% was from elementary science department and 37.7% from primary education department. Analysis results show that mean values obtained from renewable energy sources attitude scale of pre-service teachers from both departments are above average. There is a statistically significant difference in favor of elementary science education pre-service teachers in the results of independent t test.
