Description

As an example of educational activities about an invasive species that also comprised an effective study program in an elementary school, we report on the methodology and effects of a comprehensive study program that involved monitoring the distribution of Solidago altissima. With the assistance of an ecologist, it was concluded that: invasive species are effective materials for comprehensive study problems if an ecologist provides ecological information; the utilization of school curricula can enable continuous collection of ecological data; and educational activities about invasive species linked to school education are effective for both students and area residents. The report concludes with a discussion of the difficulties in turning the data obtained into scientific results and makes suggestions for solutions.
