Nature's Cycle
Mitsubishi Electric's Sanda Works held a nature class by way of a family hiking excursion. Nineteen employees and members of their families participated. Seven outdoor classroom leaders participated and assisted in nature observations.

- Nature's cycle
The time we spent on preparations, like making flip cards and other educational materials and doing repeated preliminary checks, ended up making the class run smoothly. I'm happy that we provided everyone with a meaningful experience and that there were no accidents or injuries. There were many times when the parents also took an interest in what was going on and I think the class provided good motivation for students to continue their learning.

Families immersed in observing nature. When you look closely at fields in springtime, you discover many flowering plants and living creatures.
A child and his father use a microscope to observe nature. I wonder if they remembered the name of the plant.
If you spread out a white sheet and wait for a moment, small creatures will gather on it.
Leaves that have fallen from trees gradually return to the soil over time. I wonder what the soil smelled like?
