Course description
Courses in high schools are designed to make science lectures separately; physics, chemistry, biology, and archeology. In Universities, interdisciplinary studies of those fields are necessary to learn science. This course is designed for you to experience topics of science by conducting experiments, which cover diverse fields including physics, chemistry, biology, informatics, security, and environments. You learn how to develop your specialties with broad views through performing the experiments by own thoughts.
Expected Learning
We expect you all to learn to
(1) Understand principles of the experiments.
(2) Appropriately conduct the experiments from comprehension of purposes and methods of the experiments.
(3) Analyze experimental data and make reasonable conclusions.
(4) Lead scientific discussion from the experimental results.
(5) Write your reports of the above items.

Prerequisites
Students entering this class are assumed to have had a high school experimental knowledge.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Experimental text FY2015 edition, which can be bought at the first class of the second semester (#2).
References
Assessment/Grading
Total evaluation of "attendance", "homework", "reports" and "experiment participation". Details will be explained at the orientation (#2).
Message from instructor(s)
Experiment course is integrated course of science. The registered students should understand backgrounds and theories of each experiment by reading the instruction text and other supplementary materials in prior work, participate in the experiments, and submit reports of the corresponding experiments. Please do not attend the course aimlessly. Your active participation is expected.
