This article is prepared as training aids for students visiting Mt. Sorak. The basement rocks are composed of Precambrian granitic gneiss and porphyroblastic gneiss found in the vicinity of the highest peaks, and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks covered them with unconformity. Granites covering most of this area intruded these rocks as batholith. From the view point of geology, the general view of Mt. Sorak appears to be resulted from the intrusion of granites and the accompanied differential erosion due to the textural and structural differences of rocks. Especially the sheer cliffs seem to be formed by the erosion along joint planes, and the sequent columnar valley by the joint cross and the litholigic change.

An implementation study was conducted by analyzing the science curricula, surveying of the classroom activities, and the contents of the current science text books. Through this investigation, it was found that exist a discrepancies between the science curricula and current text books, the contents of the text books are just listing of informations and too hard compare the level of students activities. Furthermore, the current text books were prepared under the laboratory oriented approaching methods by emphasizing the inquiring processes. However, (at present. situations) the most schools could not carry out the objects of the current text books due to lack of instruments, laboratory facilities, and laboratory work books.

This study aims to present an effective basic material and data . for the future earth science education by examining the present condition of scientific laboratory and observation unit of earth science test books. The method used in this study is based on the questionnaire obtained from the earth science teachers throughout the nation and an analysis of reference material related. The main subject of this study is the basic qualification of earth science teacher, the present condition of laboratory equipment, the status of scientific experiment and the problems of earth science experiment kits. Based on the above investigations, suggestions are presented for future earth science education: (1) The laboratory and observation education should be more emphasised than lecture. (2) A team should consists of 10 students at laboratory. (3) It is in urgent need to publish a laboratory manual for the student. (4) Well designed laboratory equipments and good quality kits of reasonable price should be supplied.
