Curriculum development on recycle of living resources inside school campus for elementary school

校园里的树给孩子们留下了深刻的印象，因为树长在那里，孩子们在学校生活中每天都熟悉这些树。这些生物资源对于小学科学教育在自然界中生物材料的再循环方面是非常有用的，如果我们能够分离出校园生物资源的特性，并构建一个理解再循环的课程。在本项目中，我们提取了树木和生活材料（包括“九州”的垃圾）的以下特征作为有用的教材，并在校园内提供了理解自然界生物材料再循环的课程。我们制作了熊本大学教育学部附属小学、初中和幼儿园的树木数据库。电场引导器可以从树木的位置、名称、特征、落叶、花粉等方面对校园内的树木进行搜索。我们开发了方便的平板检测细菌从草堆肥的地方，被确定为在自然界中的分解者之一。本课程利用树木资料库，让学生全面了解校园内生物物质的循环，并引导孩子们探索自然特性的可持续动机。电子相册的附加软件可以将数字内容（声音和电影）联合收割机组合在一起，在自己制作相册的过程中促进信息技术素养的教育。为了使上述教材在新课程中定位，我们制作了一个工作表制作软件，该软件在他们的个人计算机上工作，并将数字内容引入科学学习所需的工作表。这很好地促进了教材的可视效果。

Trees in school campus are very impressive to children, because the trees stand long there and children are familiar with the trees every day in their school life. Those biological resources are very useful for science instruction in elementary school on the aspect of recycle of biological materials in the nature, if we can isolate the characteristics of the biological resources in school campus and construct a curriculum for understanding of the recycle. In the present project we extracted the following characteristics of trees and living materials including garbage of "kyushoku" as useful teaching materials and presented a curriculum for understanding of recycle of biological materials in the nature within the school campus.We made the database of trees in the elementary, lower secondary schools and kindergarten attached to the Faculty of Education, Kumamoto University. The electric field guides can search the trees in the campus from places, names, characteristics, fallen leaves and pollens of trees. We developed convenient plates for detection of bacteria from the grass compost place that are identified as one of the decomposer in the nature. This curriculum, using the database of trees, provides comprehensive understanding of the cycle of the biological materials in the campus and introduces sustainable motivation of children for searching the characteristics of the nature. Additional software of electronic album that can combine digital contents (sound and movies) promotes the education of IT literacy in the procedure of making the album by themselves. For locating the above teaching materials in the developed new curriculum, we made a software for preparation of work-sheet, which works on their personal computer and introduces digital contents to work-sheet required for science learning. This promoted well the visible effect of the teaching materials.
