With the development of society, more serious environmental problems appeared. People hope that environmental education can improve the citizen's environmental awareness and fulfill the sustainable development of human society. Environmental education has accumulated much valuable experience as well as some questions." The study on the environmental awareness of Chinese students in middle and primary schools " suggested that environmental education of middle school was confined to the knowledge level of environmental awareness and ignored the behavior level which is more important however, that is why the improvement of students was hindered. So the main purpose of this research is to search after the methods of promoting student's environmental behavior and awareness to develop harmoniously through biological classroom teaching based on the analysis of environmental behavior's structure.Based on much relevant documents and the analysis of the environmental behavior's structure, we designed the questionnaire to investigate the environmental behavior level of middle school students. Through practicing and result's analysis, we revised it and make it as one of the tools to evaluate the effect of our experiment. Then, we explored the methods of promoting student's environmental behavior and awareness to develop harmoniously through biological classroom teaching. And then carried them out. We used " The middle school student daily behavior and the consciousness questionnaire " on the beginning and the end of the experiment, and analyzed the data to prove the validity of methods.The results showed that: (1) The environmental behavior can be divided into positive environmental behavior and the negative , it can also be divided into cooperate environmental behavior and the independent. (2) The methods are showed as fllowed: After defining correct environmental behavior, student's environmental behavior should be corrected by the stimulus of the biological values. During the course of teaching, the student is the subject of the teaching activity all the time, and the key part of the activity process is in the form of group. Classmates and teachers have abundant intercourse in the activity through body language, oral language as well as written language. (3) "The middle school student's environmental behavior questionnaire " is qualified to evaluate the environmental behavior of the middle school students. (a= 0.8525, r = 0.656**) (4) The environmental awareness average score of experiment group class A ( 67.6012 ) is remarkably higher than contrasting group ( 61.4610; Sig. =0.020);And the environmental behavior average score of experiment group class A ( 79.3864) is remarkably higher than contrastinggroup (71.7857 ;Sig. =0.021). Then we can see that the teaching methods of experiment group class A can effectively cultivate student's environmental behavior and awareness. (5) Values of living beings can combine the knowledge of bio-diversity value with relevant environmental behavior as a bridge; can promote student's environmental awareness to develop in harmony. In the environmental awareness of the experimental group students, environmental behavior is related to environmental knowledge remarkably (0.393**).
