Abstract

Requests for science lectures with experiments are increasing in regional educational partnerships. In the last decade, we have presented a variety of extension lectures with experiments for children regionally. In this report, we introduce an educational program titled “Renewable Energy” for junior high school students. The program consists of three sections: 1) saccharification of starch by using an enzyme solution originating from rice Koji fermentation medium, 2) chemical structure determination analysis of glucose by NMR, and 3) construction of an enzyme fuel cell using a palladium-plated electrode.
