Outline of Final Research Achievements

The previous molecular model tool which a pointer and a dimple socket system were used was improved in the present study. As a result, more compact and precise molecular model tool has been developed. New molecular models of non-spherical atom and the bond angle variable types have been also developed respectively. The bond angle variable type tool was prepared using 3D printer. These molecular model tools were used in science education of elementary and secondary education schools. We worked on education of biodiversity, energy and environment fields aggressively, and also worked on upbringing of environment management leaders of the next generation.
