きっづ光科学館ふぉとんは、日本原子力研究開発機構関西光科学研究所に附置され、展示,映像及び実験・工作の三つの方法から光の不思議に迫り、科学する心を育む国内外で唯一の光科学をテーマとする体験学習型科学館として運営されている。とりわけ、地域の行政,教育機関及び学校と連携して行う連携講座,サイエンス・フェスティバル,教員研修等で実施する実験・工作教室等、多種多様な活動を展開している。理解度や探究心,効果の視点から、最近実施した連携講座,実験屋台村,サイエンスウォーカーなどエネルギー環境教育活動の概要について概説する。

The Kids' Science Museum of Photons (KSMP), which was established in a blanch of the Kansai Photon Science Institute (KPSI), can provide us with the mysteries of light through various exhibits, theater, and science experimental events, as quite an unique museum, to be focused on the photon science. The goal of this museum is also to develop "Heart of Science" in children who can join and experience. In this phase, the KSMP has been promoting various activities of public understanding of science and technology, such as the collaboration seminar, the science festival and the teacher education program, to be associated with regional administrative offices, educational institutions, and schools. It can be explained the outline of systematically trial activities on the energy and environmental education, the collaboration lecture, the experimental village and the science-walker, from the viewpoint of the degree of understanding, the search mind and effects.
