Abstract
This study aims to examine the potential of environment-conscious wood materials for scientific activity programs toward "sustainable society", which have not yet appeared. To analyze the potential of and difficulties with material-based education, the author surveyed the academic trends in cellulose science, profiles of materials, and reports on integrated study and environmental education. The experiments were done with a digital camera and a molecular frame model to assist 3 D understanding of cellulose molecules. From the survey, the principal aspects of the materials to be scoped and some hints to reduce the learning barrier were derived in order to promote these activities. Relating extensions of the activity and coordination between education and production sites are especially promising.
