Abstract

This study is related to the development of teaching materials for energy environmental education. It is focused on the thermal environment issues of the earth. In order to understand the thermal environment of the earth, it is necessary to learn regional thermal environments in local area first. We have developed an educational program for grasping the current situation of land coverage in each region while considering a community bus, which is one of public transportation means. In addition, we have produced teaching contents for stirring students´ interests in the thermal environment, based on the air temperature observation data.
