| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was performed was to identify experiments with unsatisfactory results in science textbooks. In addition, revised experiments that can obtain satisfactory results are proposed. A questionnaire survey was performed among junior high school teachers regarding which of the 88 experiments found in the standard textbook can likely yield results that are similar to those presented in the standard textbook.
The questionnaire indicated that the most difficult experiments were those regarding oxidation of metals. We invented a new procedure for this experiment to improve the introduction of the law of definite proportions. The next most difficult of experiments was to observe cell division. We have developed a new method to observe cell division that is easier to conduct for teachers and students.
We have also developed new methods to experiments with unsatisfactory results such as moon phases, and shared the methods with foreign science education researchers.
