Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, we tried to search for all experimental, practice teaching, and exercise materials of all learning units related in the field of Geoscience on primary and secondary school textbooks of “RIKA” (similar to natural science) in order to find out what kind of materials were lacking in them. Second, we have attempted to improve on some materials and to develop new materials in order to make up for deficiency in existing materials. Low cost and simple methods were emphasized in the improvement and/or development of them based on the spirit of the kitchen earth science.
As a result, we could make several improved and/or new materials to teach more effectively through research-based teaching practices.
