Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have studied three-dimensional educational materials that require little cost and little space. Experimentally, we developed an assistant tool that helps to understand the change of the moon phase. We can make a reversible structure changing two-dimensional plane to three-dimensional solid from plane paper. We manufactured a sphere from four sheets of A4-size paper. We made the desired teaching materials by printing the earth or the moon on four sheets of development. The prototype system was really used in the class of the junior high school. We performed the questionnaire survey about our system and got knowledge that it was useful as the teaching materials.
