Class Objectives
/Class Outline Students will learn basic knowledge and experimental techniques required to analyze and interpret natural environments through laboratory and field studies.
This course is designed to help students develop scientific habits of mind, including understanding statistics (mean and standard deviation), accuracy and precision, and significant figures.

Class Schedule ・Properties of Polymers(Watanabe: 1-3): June 10, 17, 24
Lesson 1 Introduction to Polymer Science
Lesson 2 Properties of Polymer Solutions: sessile droplets, liquid-liquid phase separation
Lesson 3 Properties of Polymer Solutions (continued), data analysis
・Fundamentals of climate data analysis (Kondo: 4, 5): July 1, 8
To truly understand the current state of global warming on Earth and in various countries around the world, it is essential to be able to analyze actual climate data. This course will develop basic analytical skills that will allow students to use climate data on their own and reach scientific conclusions.
Lesson 4: Display global temperature distribution using Jupyter
Lesson 5: Understanding the current state of global warming and detecting the Arctic amplification
・Geochronology and dating theories in Earth Sciences (Kawaguchi: 6): July 15
Lesson 6: Fossil age, Radiometric age
Lesson 7: Lecture: July 22
Lesson 8: Lecture: July 29

Taking records and notes of the experiments is extremely important. Please bring a laboratory notebook.

Text/Reference
Books,etc. Each instructor will provide handouts.
Prepare a laboratory notebook.

PC or AV used in
Class,etc. Handouts, Audio Materials, Visual Materials, moodle
