Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are many advantages in microscale experiments: they are easy, cost-effective, safe, fast, and environmentally friendly. Microscale experiments have been intensively investigated. However, they are hardly done in view of education for sustainable development.
In this study, we have tried to develop and improve the teaching materials on microscale experiments which promote education for sustainable development, and to perform the practical lessons for primary school children and high school students using our teaching materials on microscale experiments.
