（Knowledge and Understanding）
・By deepening basic understanding of science subjects taught in secondary education (physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science), to be able to explain teaching contents.
（Abilities and Skills）
・Based on meticulous analysis and examination of science education in secondary education (including observation and examinations), to be able to design classes and develop teaching materials.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline This is a specialized subject of the Program in Science Education. The purpose of this course is for students to learn and understand specialized knowledge of physics among other science subjects. Particularly, this course will focus on The Theory of Relativity among other teaching contents of junior high school and high school physics, and provide students with an opportunity to understand the academic meaning of those subjects and acquire specialized knowledge needed for teaching those subjects.
