The Basic Research on the Effective Utilization of the Pond to Environmental Education.
[2002 - 2004, Project Leader: Takashi MURAMATSU]

Environmental education (EE) is becoming one of the most important educational areas in school. One of the purposes of EE in school is to raise students who can understand the relation between human and nature and can take desirable actions on environmental preservation. In order to create a pleasant and affluent environment in the areas of living, it is necessary to examine the present condition of the environment exactly and to construct the well-informed information about the environment as offered to the school. The purpose of present studies is to clarify the factors which connect nature and human activity. Chemical analyses are powerful methods for this purpose. The results obtained in this study will give effective education materials which modify human behavior toward the environment.
