Outline of Final Research Achievements

I carried out researched to develop training programs for science teachers understanding the immediate natural environment of subtropical region. The investigation was carried out about shellfishes, which inhabited the imminent sea coast for becoming it the teaching materials of the animals inhabiting imminent subtropical beach. The shellfishes for the investigation were Echininus cumingii spinulosus, Ruditapes variegata and Atactodea striata. E. cumingii spinulosus is a sea snail and inhabits the place that is not buried in water even the high tides in an intertidal zone. R. variegate and A. striata are common bivalve inhabiting the beach. Furthermore, I investigated the soil animals which inhabited the imminent green space for becoming it the teaching materials of the animals inhabiting imminent subtropical forest. As a result of the investigation, it was revealed that the animal was available as the teaching materials.
