Outline of Final Research Achievements

The science-pot model was proposed for grasping whole picture in subjects. The discovery for behavior modification and improvement of an inquiring mind were confirmed by interdisciplinary and science-show effects. (1)In social cooperation activities, Powers of Ten concept was introduced into hierarchical structures consisting of temperature versus energy axes, in universe, environment and energy fields, and the understanding of whole picture in subjects was promoted by teachers training seminar. (2)In regional symbiosis activities, in which formation of mystery was brought about characteristic of real experience, discovery and prototypical experience effect to lead to behavior modification were obtained in science festival. (3)In problem setting activities, dispatch lecture with sustainable activities lead to a high affinity to subjects and fostering inquiring mind in life, light, power and chemistry, by curriculums including a progress degree of class and school year in life.
