Abstract

The Oceanographic Society of Japan started a school visit program in 2016. The program is intended mainly for elementary school students, junior high school students and high school students to become interested in natural sciences, especially in oceanography. The number of lecturers is 39（3 in Hokkaido, 3 in Tohoku, 22 in Kanto, including Tokyo, 5 in Chubu, 2 in Chugoku-Shikoku and 4 in Kyushu-Okinawa）as of February 2016, and many of them are able to visit all parts of the country. The lectures include a wide range of topics : from the equator to the Arctic／Antarctic, from the ocean surface to the bottom, fromphytoplankton to large fish, from coastal oceanography to global ocean circulation, from physical oceanography to marine biology,from oceanography as one of the natural sciences to the relation between the ocean and our life or to marine resourcedevelopment／marine protection. In this manuscript, we introduce the contents of the lecture and flow of the school visit program　from the application to the school visit, and briefly discuss the future perspective of the program. We hope that we are able to　make a contribution to the spread and enlightenment of the knowledge of natural sciences, especially oceanography, through this　school visit program.
