The Kids' Science Museum of Photons, which is attached to the Kansai Photon Science Institute of the JAEA and is managed as an unique and experienced study type of museum with the theme of the photon science, provides us with the mystery of light through various exhibits, theater, and experimental events. In this research, the outline of science communication activities of energy and environmental education such as recent coordinated course, the experiment booth village and the science-walker is discussed in the degree of understanding, inquiring mind and its effects.
