This course is developed for small group activities meant to promote interaction between international and Japanese students. Activities will be performed in English and will aim at improving communication and discussion between group members. The major objective of the course is to learn the basics of the scientific method by performing simple ethology and physiology experiments with marine organisms in small groups. Based on their own ideas, students will design and perform simple experiments to test hypotheses, collect data, analyze results and interpret them.

Students will learn through direct practice, basic principles of marine animal behavior and witness the amazing process of marine invertebrate fertilization and early development, in a beautiful natural setting. The students will learn about marine biology through field activities on the shore of Aomori bay and in the adjacent laboratories of the Asamushi Research Center.
