| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the earth science education, it is important to understand processes acting in natural phenomena through real specimens and/or experimental modelling. Several interesting and important teaching materials have been developed for studies on lava flows, laminated sediments, westerly waves, extinct animals such as ammonites and dinosaurs. Mineral specimen sets occurring in volcanic ashes have been made to enhance students' skill for identification of rock-forming minerals. Recommendations regarding how to utilize the teaching materials such as mineral specimen sets in junior high school science classes have been proposed.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
地学の学習は、地質・古生物、気象、地球物理学、宇宙や天文学にまたがり、知識の詰め込み教育になりがちであったが、本研究では、地球で見られる事物・現象について、モデル実験や標本の観察を通じて探究的に学習できるように、先進的な教材開発を行った。３Dプリンタで製作した火山模型に粘性流体を流して溶岩流の形態を実験的に調べる教材や、アンモナイトや三葉虫、恐竜骨格模型を活用した絶滅生物の復元など、専門知識をベースに特色ある教材を開発している。研究成果を社会に還元するため、中学生を対象としたアウトリーチ活動を行って、学習効果を検証している。
