Preparation
 In each session, students should prepare not only the morphological and ecological characteristics of the organisms to be treated in the experiments, but also the experimental methods.
Lesson 1 - Leson 2: To study the species of woody plants, in particular, by using illustrated books. Investigate typical vegetation survey methods.
Lesson 5: Study the history of microorganism culture.
Lesson 6: To study the history of research on alcoholic fermentation.
Lesson 7 - lesson 8: To study algae, especially diatoms and green algae.
Lesson 9 - Lesson 10: To study soil animals and their collection methods
lesson 11: To study the morphology and ecology of arthropods (shrimps)
Lesson 12: To study the morphology and ecology of arthropods (crabs)
Lesson13: To study morphology and ecology of mollusks (squids)
Leson14: To study morphology and ecology of mollusks (oysters)
Lesson15: To study principles and methods of molecular phylogenetic analyses and classification systems

Review
 After the experiment, you should consider whether there is anything that can be improved on the materials and methods, and whether it is possible to conduct the same experiment using other methods, and summarize them in the report. 
Requirements Required for students in the Program in Science Education
