Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to propose new educational activities in terms of the museum exhibitions presented in the Precambrian Museum in Hichiso-town, Gifu Prefecture and our study on the coevolution of life and the earth. Although many famous and important rock samples from the world have been collected and exhibited in the museum, exhibition on the scientific importance and the story of the earth derived from these rocks have not been explained deeply for visitors. We present a new exhibition concept of the museum in view of the coevolution of life and the earth from the beginning of our universe, solar system, and origin of the earth. Evidences for snowball earth events, fossils, and meteorites have been introduced for materials in the museum education.
