Science and Human Life was established in the revision of the government guidelines for teaching, the number of students who learn Science and Human Life is about 400000, and is much larger than the number of students who learn Basic Earth Science. Contents of earth science field that are covered by the Science and Human Life is about one fifth of the whole, but they should not be ignored for earth science education, because one in three high school students takes this subject. In addition, this subject deals with the relationship between humans and nature, the benefits received from nature, and natural disasters in particular. However, the contents of this subject can not be said to be enough. In order for the students to master the skill necessary to make our society sustainable, it is necessary to further review the contents of this subject.
