Abstract
The new national curriculum (Course of Study), which is implemented at elementary schools in 2011, emphasizes on fostering the ability to think, to judge, and to express which is needed for acquiring the basic and elementary knowledge and skills and problem-solving ability. It is expected that pupils raise the sensitivity to nature through getting in touch with their familiar nature, understand the function and work of nature through their observation, and acquire the basic idea on how humans should have desirable relation with nature. Therefore it is requested that the development of local resources as teaching materials should raise their interest and concern on nature and nurture their scientific view and thinking based on observation and experiment and their ability to express scientifically. This paper considers the following background points to utilize local resources to develop the teaching materials of natural environments in environmental learning. Point 1: It is very effective to do direct experience and observe nearby natural environments. Point 2: It is very effective to foster the scientific literacy and grasp the nature pattern in earth environment through field activities. Point 3: It is very effective to understand the following three patterns for developing the teaching materials for nature observation：(1) pattern of phenomena and events of objectives for comparative observation, (2) pattern of phenomena and events possible to read the change and (3) pattern of phenomena and events of the relation between human beings and nature.
