1.
Outline
In this course, we will take 7 basic experiments using familiar materials and subjects. We will take it into consideration that the students wish to become teachers in the future, you will learn how to teach experiments.
2.
Objectives
By learning this course, you will be able to acquire the ability to plan and manage experimental lessons at the educational site.
3.
Grading Policy
Every experiment students will be required to submit a report and it will be evaluated. The final grade is calculated based on the total of those evaluations.
4.
Textbook and Reference
Main textbook: We will distribute our own practice manual for each experiment.
Sub-textbook: Kagaku Dojin (ed.) "Guidebook for safely carrying out experiments in bioscience" Kagaku Dojin (2018)
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
(1) Review "Biology 1" and "Biology 2" that are taking place in the first year and reconfirm the basic knowledge of general biology.
(2) Review the textbooks used in the biology of junior and senior high schools, and review what kind of experiments were prepared and how they should be educated, and review the experimental system from the perspective of the instructor.
