The aim of this study is to develop a unit of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in lower secondary science. There is some educational research on ESD based on ethical & cultural concepts, however, in this study the authors employ the 'Daly Rules' based on scientific and technological, and natural resources' perspectives for sustainability. Firstly, the authors interpreted the concept of the 'Daly Rules' and have taken some points to develop a unit and instructions for a lower secondary science lesson. Secondly, the authors made a unit based on the ideas of the 'Daly Rules' called the 'Use of energy resources and sustainability', and implemented this lesson. Through analyzing data and evidence collected and gathered in practice, the following results were obtained: 1) Students understood many parts of the 'Daly Rules' for sustainability. 2) Students recognized both sides of science and technology, e.g. merits and demerits for the environment and in the real world. 3) Statistics showed the learning programs caused a significant improvement of students who want to become scientists or engineers
