Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the chemical realm of the New Course of Study, comprehension and visualization of microscopic particle behavior, macroscopic states, and chemical changes of matter have become increasingly important. In this study, we developed teaching materials to help students imagine matter after grasping it microscopically and comprehending it as a macroscopic phenomenon, with the aim of cultivating students' concepts of matter. For that purpose, and for developing teaching materials that make particles readily comprehensible in the fields of organic, physical, analytical, and inorganic chemistry, we put them into practice and evaluated them through experiments for students, training of teachers, and chemistry experiment classes for students at our university.
