We are pleased to announce that the participants of this laboratory visit tour will beAdvance application (up to the first 6 applicants for each course)We are looking forward to seeing you at the Chugoku and Shikoku Conference. We hope that all junior high school, high school, and technical college students participating in the Chugoku-Shikoku competition will take this opportunity to visit the laboratories where their research will take place and enjoy interacting with university faculty members and undergraduate and graduate students.

Last year's laboratory introduction project by Okayama University of Science at the Science Castle

<Okayama University of Science Laboratory Tour

Outline of the Project
Let's take a peek into a live university laboratory, which you cannot normally see at an open campus or on-campus tour. Let's experience what it is like to be a university student by observing actual laboratories and asking questions to the professors. ... You might even get to hear from some of the university students' seniors.

▼ Course Content

course (route, trail, course of action, course of study, plan)	Contents
Courses in Science (Zoology) Laboratory of Animal Resources and Laboratory of Animal Reproductive Physiology where you can learn zoology.	The Animal Resources Laboratory investigates various biological characteristics such as genetics, morphology, physiology, reproduction, and nutrition of small mammals and other wild-derived captive animals through their lineage preservation. The Animal Reproductive Physiology Laboratory investigates endocrine dynamics, their regulatory mechanisms, and the relationship between hormones and behavior in laboratory and zoo animals.

Courses in the Faculty of Engineering (Department of Applied Chemistry) Green Chemistry Laboratory where organic chemistry can be studied.	We conduct research in organic chemistry to efficiently synthesize materials and medicines that support society. Our daily research includes the development of environmentally friendly reactions that utilize clean light energy, which is also related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), flexible synthesis technologies that create different compounds in different work processes, and the development of materials with excellent properties.

Information Science and Technology Course Game Engineering Laboratory where games can be learned.	I was involved in the development of home video games in a corporate setting. The focus of my research is to get people interested in programming through games and fun, and I deal with a wide range of different aspects related to programming. On the day of the event, I will present a network game that is made up of things learned in lectures, an application that overlays questions and raised hands on the lecture screen, and a program learning application for beginning programmers.

Life Sciences Courses Micro- and Nano-Physiology Laboratory where bioengineering can be studied.	This is a laboratory in the field of bioengineering. We also elucidate physiological functions of early mouse embryos and other embryos. In the field of reproductive engineering, we are elucidating sperm motility function and developing fertilized egg culture devices. In the field of bioinstrumentation engineering, we are developing cell separation devices based on the microfluidic principle and attempting to modify cell functions by combining nanomaterials. We are also developing composite materials and material processing systems suitable for cell culture. Reference URL:https://www.life.ous.ac.jp/staff/staff-833/
Biogeography Course Animal Natural History Laboratory where turtles can be studied.	I study the natural history of sea turtles and freshwater turtles. Especially in sea turtles, their feeding habits Research is being conducted in the field in Okinawa and Kagoshima. Freshwater turtles are currently a problem. The genetic penetrance between leatherback and Japanese pond turtle, and why adult female Japanese pond turtle juveniles are We are studying how they attack and so on. Recently, we have been studying snapping turtles and giant salamanders to Some students who are Reference URL:https://kamelab.net/
