Abstract
Environmental education takes an important role for progress and development of awareness of environment. However, few practical examples were presented on the indoor environmental education. Presenters, including both High School teachers and University researchers, offered special science course about indoor environment for high school students as a part of Science Partnership Project supported by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The purpose of this course was learning about prevention and improvement of the Sick House Syndrome. In the lessons, fundamental experiments were conducted about colorimetric detector and catalytic decomposition of formaldehyde. These techniques have been developed in Tokai University. At the end of lessons, a questionnaire was carried out for students to examine degrees of their understanding and satisfaction. The results showed this course promoted students' interests for science by helping their understanding on the contents.
