Rare!! [Made in 1956] Rika no Test (Science Test) - Set of 3 Books Unused. The third-term book for the first grade (pink booklet) has the publication year printed on the back, confirming it was made in 1956 (68 years ago), but the publication years of the other two books are unknown. Judging by their appearance, they are presumed to be from around the same time. Published by: Aoba Shobo Co., Ltd. Published in 1956 - Title: Rika no Test - First Grade, Third Term - Title: Rika no Test - First Grade, First Term - Title: Rika no Test - First Grade, Second Term Set of 3 books ※ Basically, we do not sell them individually. If you want to buy them individually, please comment. Educational materials for science learning. I have researched, but the detailed information seems to be unknown. I couldn't find specific content or images related to the science tests published by Aoba Shobo (now Aoba Publishing Co., Ltd.) in 1956 on general internet searches. Aoba Publishing still publishes test materials for elementary schools, but the individual test questions and their content from that time are very old materials, so the information available to the public is limited. The following points can be inferred about the content of the tests at that time: Science starting grade: Science started in the third grade of elementary school, just like it does now. Learning content: Based on the curriculum guidelines at the time, it is thought that elementary school third graders would have studied basic content related to familiar nature and physical phenomena, such as observing plants (like loofahs), insect growth, the mechanism of batteries, and the properties of matter. How to obtain them: These old tests are no longer available in schools or bookstores, and may be found in specialized libraries and archives related to the history of education, or occasionally through private sales (such as the collector's market). If you have the actual tests and want to know their content, or if you want to know more about the curriculum at the time, it is recommended to check the curriculum guidelines of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) website or inquire with an educational history research institution. ⚠️ Because these are old booklets from 69 years ago, there are signs of aging such as yellowing, stains, corner folds, tears, and detachment from the cover.
