| Research Abstract |
We tried to develop a teaching method which enables the subjects to obtain a scientific view through the experience of the survey conducted.
Concretely, we developed a teaching system in which the pupils or junior high school students survey an aspect of the local air pollution or water pollution by using a hand-made color meter combined with a computer and put it into use.
Through this study, the following findings were obtained.
1. It is possible to develop teaching materials which enable upper-grade pupils to carry out a quantitative survey of environment.
2. The teaching system developed in this study made it possible to widen and deepen environment education to pupils or unior high school students.
3. Our teaching system, in which complex calculation is carried out by a computer, enabled pupils to easily obtain the necessary measurements.
4. Our teaching system enabled pupils to draw more attention on the measurements themselves and reach a deeper understanding of them.
