Pursuit of truth by "watching nature"

We have moved ahead with modern science by learning every sort of things from nature. We have kept watching nature and imitating after it through trial and error. It is important to have an awareness of constantly watching nature in order to pursue truth from nature. This awareness is the driving force, which has been sustaining the standard of science at a high-level. Students will learn this awareness of keeping watching nature, starting with the basics in each area of physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences and astronomy, and science education. Students will pursue the width and depth of nature through experiments employing the latest instruments and through theoretical analysis using computers, etc.

The staff of the Department of Secondary School Science Teacher makes an effort to train students to be energetic and talented teachers. They are expected to contribute to the natural science education for secondary school students who will take responsibilities in the next generation.
