"Space education", as defined by the JAXA Space Education Center, is an educational activity that uses the material of space to ignite the three hearts of "curiosity", "adventure", and "craftsmanship". We think that the primary goal of space education is not to nurture the specialist of space development and science education, but to nurture the human resources who can survive "unpredictable" future society including information technology innovation and globalization.
The Space has "unknown" and "unpredictable" area, education with space is appropriate education method that can nurture "the ability to challenge unanswered problem", "imagination", "various view point" and more.

In this presentation I analyze usefulness of space education through the class about "Moon and Sun" created by colaborated JAXA and elementary school in Sagamihara city.
