| Description |
この広い宇宙に生命はいるのか？本講座では最新の研究成果を見ながら、研究者と同じ目線で考えていきます。クイズやカードゲーム、顕微鏡観察やローバー操作などをしながら楽しく宇宙と生命について学んだあと、宇宙のどこに生命がいそうか研究者のように調べて、自分の研究ポスターを作りましょう。 [Part 1: Does extraterrestrial life really exist?]While playing Sugoroku, you will learn about the history of the universe from its creation to the present. You will also learn about modern space exploration and consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life. [Part 2: What is life?]Using the cards, students will learn about the characteristics of life by classifying living and non-living matter, and will also explore some of the leading theories about the origin of life. [Part 3: Where is life?]Through true or false quizzes and worksheets, you will think about where on Earth and what kind of life exists. Then, using a microscope, you will search for tardigrades, which are said to be the strongest living creatures. [Part 4: Let's start searching for extraterrestrial life!]You will learn about the methods being used to search for life on Earth and in space, and then you will actually operate a rover remotely to search for signs of life. [Episode 5: Life is Here]While reflecting on what you have learned so far, you will search for planets that may have extraterrestrial life. Using cards of various planets and moons, you will think about where life is likely to exist. [6th: Space Research Challenge!]Students will use books and the internet to research planets that may have life. As they complete the worksheet, they will research and summarize the planet they have chosen. [7th session: Let's make a survey poster]Students will write down what they have researched about planets that may have life on a poster. They will use colorful paper to create their own original research poster. [Part 8: Trying a presentation!]The research posters that you create will be presented to everyone. We will also invite special guests to the poster presentation to provide feedback on the content of the posters. |

Space Travelium TeNQ special lecture (total 6 lectures)
| Teacher | Hitoshi Murayama (Professor, Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU), University of Tokyo) |
|---|---|
| Description |
[Theme for each session] 
[Part 1: Day and night, seasons, why do the sun and stars move?] What happens on Earth, where we live, is connected to the universe. How does the sun shine? When we think about the mechanics of summer and winter, are there any places that have two summers? Is the reason why the International Space Station doesn't fall the same as the reason why the planets and moons in the solar system revolve? When we think about the Earth from space, we can see that there is a good reason for things that seem obvious. We will talk about various aspects of the universe, focusing on the Earth and the solar system. 
[Part 2: Solar system, planets, moons, exoplanets, aliens?] We have discovered that there are planets and celestial bodies in the solar system with various shapes and characteristics. Jupiter and Saturn, with their beautiful stripes and rings, are masses of gas, so they have no land and sink. We have also found moons with volcanic eruptions and moons with water spewing from underground. Many planets have also been found beyond the solar system. What kind of places are planets outside the solar system? Are there aliens? We will talk about what we have learned from the latest research, from planets in the solar system to stars and planets even further out. 
[Part 3: Milky Way, the Life of Stars, and Black Holes] We live in the Milky Way galaxy, which is filled with stars and gas. Using a telescope, we can find nebulae made of colorful gas. Some nebulae were formed after stars died, while others are where stars are being born right now. It has been discovered that at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, there is an incredibly heavy black hole. It is a strange black hole that cannot even emit light, but the latest observations are gradually revealing its shape. We will explain the life of stars and black holes in an easy-to-understand way. 
[Part 4: Galaxy, galactic evolution, large-scale structure, the Big Bang] There are hundreds of billions of galaxies, huge groups of stars, in the universe. Galaxies come in a variety of shapes, from spirals to round shapes to wheel-like shapes, and at their centers are supermassive black holes. Can we see black holes? Galaxies merge, gather together to form galaxy clusters, or are scattered throughout the universe to form large-scale structures. How did galaxies form? It all goes back to the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago. Let me tell you about galaxies and the Big Bang. 
[Part 5: Origin of elements, dark matter] Where did we come from? If we trace our roots, we arrive at stars that were born a long time ago. We have learned that our bodies are made of star fragments, and that gold and silver were born in huge explosions caused by the collision of stars. And it seems that the thing that gave birth to these stars and galaxies is the mysterious dark matter. Is dark matter actually our long-lost mother? What is dark matter, and how should we search for it? We will discuss it together with the latest research findings. 
[Session 6: Antimatter, Inflation, and Dark Energy] The more we investigate the beginning of the universe, the more we realize that the fact that we are here in the universe right now is not something to be taken for granted. Perhaps the superhero who saved us from the fate of complete annihilation was a tiny neutrino. Perhaps it was a tiny quantum fluctuation in the microscopic world that gave birth to this universe. And perhaps this universe will eventually expand endlessly and be torn apart infinitely until it ends. And what about the number of universes that we cannot even imagine? We will talk about the beginning and future of the universe, as discussed at the cutting edge of research. |
