A new development in learning programs with Fast Plants for biological education in elementary, junior high and high school

本研究的目的是为日本小学、初中和高中的生物教育开发以Fast Plants为实验材料的学习计划。在这项研究中，我们获得了开发新程序所需的数据，了解了水分、光合作用、肥料和土壤在植物生长中的作用，蝴蝶在授粉中的作用，自花授粉和异花授粉的差异，柱头上的花粉萌发以及雄蕊组织中花粉管的伸长。由于缺乏合适的实验材料，在学校引入这些学习计划一直很困难。我们提出，快速植物是一种有用的实验材料。

The purpose of this study is to develop learning programs with Fast Plants as a experimental material for biological education in elementary, junior high and high school in Japan. In this study we have obtained data necessary to development of new programs learning for roles of water, photosynthesis, fertilization and soil in plant growth, a role of butterfly in pollination, the difference between self- and cross-pollination, pollen germination on a stigma and elongation of a pollen tube in stamen tissues. It had been difficult to introduce these learning programs in school because of a lack of suitable experimental materials. We proposed that Fast Plants is a useful experimental material.
