We developed some educational materials relating to sustainable development in science education and found it in the descriptions of students after learning of the materials that they knew about the efforts of scientists and possessed a forward-looking awareness of science. The materials were practiced in three countries of Asia, and were also effective there. Regarding expression ability, learning how to express accurately and plainly were effective through the activity of creation of forms using of toy blocks, making records by drawing and/or written description, and reproducing the same forms. Concerning experiment tools, oxygen/carbon dioxide sensor was developed and practiced by teachers in educational centers, and they gave us ideas to use it in science education.
