| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to understand the solid earth, it is necessary to observe the rocks that make up the earth. In order to observe the rock, it is necessary to make a petrographic thin sections and observe it with a polarization microscope. However, the preparation of petrographic thin sections require many techniques and specialized equipment, polarization microscopes are expensive, and observation of petrographic thin section has many problems because it requires knowledge. So, in this research, 1. The development of the cheap and simple petrographic thin sections preparation method, 2. The petrographic thin section observation without using a polarization microscope, 3. The practice of three rock flake observation courses are combined and carried out arbitrarily, a program for scientific understanding of rocks was created and implemented.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
岩石薄片を身近にある素材を用いて作成し、偏光顕微鏡を用いずに観察を行うプログラムを作成した。このプログラムを博物館で開催する講座や教員を対象とした研修で実施することで、岩石のつくりを理解し、そこから大地の生い立ち、さらには地球のメカニズムを理解することを試みた。岩石薄片写真やスケッチを用いた岩石の観察は、中学校１年生で必須である。しかし理科教員の多くは岩石の仕組みや見られる鉱物の観察方法などを理解しておらず、教員を対象とした研修会での本プログラムの実施は大好評であった。また、アンケートの結果、一般市民の参加者の満足度も高く、プログラムの作成と実施の意義が感じられた。
