We started up a new project “Geo Education” in 2012. This project purpose is increase awareness for geo-scientific education in elementary and secondary level through field excursions. In other words, it is the knowing the earth by touching and seeing the real. The members consist of scientist, engineer, teacher and university students specialize in earth science. It is probably new activity which prepares the operation methods and the instructor cooperation with the school. In 2012, we held the field excursions with two junior high schools in Tokyo. Through the two field excursion, we will clarify figuring out of field materials and future problems involved. In 2013, we did activities about the development of field materials to the improvement of the field excursions. In this presentation, we will introduce our project “Geo Education” and report the results and problems on this year's activities.
