Abstract

<p>This study’s first aim was to organize and analyze the contents of “The moon and the sun” from the 6th Grade Science textbook. It was then clarified that a field observation period by children was only 2 to 3 days, which was not sufficient for the model examination, and additionally, the model experiment was carried out ambiguously without consistent data basis. This caused different interpretations from the model experiment in the text and obstructed conducting an inductive class. Therefore, the class was improved by using simulated observation using a tablet PC. The purpose of this study was to set the simulated observation by using tablet PC after the actual field observation. Then the model experiment was performed in a series to verify the effectiveness based on the observation activities and pupils’ understanding. The following 2 points were clarified after the investigation and analysis. 1. An inductive class was difficult to be carried out with field observation only, but the model experiment was successfully executed based on the simulated observation results using the tablet PC method. 2. The understanding of children was shown to be increased by the simulated observation using a tablet PC in the model experiment. </p>
