Preparation and
Review It is important to consciously pay attention to familiar nature regularly. Students will be instructed what to observe and other assignments by the instructor. Students are expected to make observations by themselves accordingly. Please consider this course as an opportunity to think about the contents of teaching materials and experiment methods in junior high schools and high schools from the standpoint of a teacher who teach students experiments and observations.

Requirements "Special subject（science, earth science experiments( including utilization of computers））
It is desirable that students have taken Basic Knowledge of Earth Science.
There is a limit to the number of students who can take this course.
Required subject for students of the Program in Science Education."

Grading Method Students will be evaluated based on the results of practical work in each lesson. Attendance is important as this course consists mainly of observations and experiments.
