| Research Abstract |
We developed the new software Virtual Field System for agricultural education. This software draws the three-dimensional virtual field in a hypothetical space by computer graphics. It is useful as teaching materials for supplementing the agriculture experience of students who are studying at elementary school and junior high school with too narrow farm. The students can visually recognize the growth rate of plant and the light-reception efficiency within a plant canopy. In this research, about 50 movies recording plant growth (germination, growth of leaves, flowers, fruits, et al.) have been made. These movies are thought to be able to be used as teaching materials of agricultural education. The DVDs with these movies were distributed to the many teachers for using in their classes.
