A Development and Potency Examination of Genetic Teaching Material in Elementary School

Recently, there is a problem that insurance companies reject applications of genetic disease carriers in the USA. It is said that the educational content in a primary school should contain genetic content as there is a genetic teaching material in the USA. It is "You, Me, & Others' In the future, we predict that these situations will happen in Japan. So, we have developed genetic teaching material as worksheets for elementary schools. In order to examine the potency, of developed worksheets, we taught the students in an elementary school attached to Nara University of Education using these worksheets. The titles of the worksheets used in this practice are "Similarity and Difference between us" and "Continuity of Life". The response of children was good. From this result, we confirm that these worksheets are useful for elementary school eduation. We hope that many elementary schools will use the genetic teaching material which we developed
