Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed several educational materials and programs to teach the formation of the Solar System using real science data. Using these materials and programs, we had a lesson of some subjects related to the solar system to the students belonging to the department of Faculty of Education and how the students should teach it to the children at elementary school. After the lesson, the students understood the subjects better and improved their confidence to teach these subjects.
