Class Objectives
/Class Outline
We expect the students to analyze and study the contents of the course and to be able to construct a practice plan.  All the attendants take one of several courses related to regional and social contribution activities with elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools, conducted at the marine lab to experience the collection of marine organisms and observation and classification of marine organisms with students and learn the method of marine biological education.  They also study instructive points of the course and safety management in shore.
