Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The necessity for the cooperation of science and mathematics teaching was emphasized by the revision of the national curriculum in 2008. However, the lesson plan which made science and mathematics cooperate is hardly performed in the curriculum today. The purpose of this research is to propose a lesson which associates science and mathematics teaching and to verify its educational effectiveness in high school. The lesson plan for mathematics class was prepared for 66 high school students, in order to apply Maraldai's angle by inquiring into the area of the film stretched across the surface of a soap film, and inside a regular tetrahedron. These research results have suggested that the educational effect was obvious in the lesson in which the combination of science and mathematics teaching were practiced.
