This research project verified the relation between mutual evaluation and visualization of experimental results by database on a map. We worked with the sixth grade elementary school unit "Working with the pendulum." We allowed free communication among the students in the investigation. As a result, the following three points were confirmed. ・ Students can evaluate the criteria in their study by entering the record of their experiments on a database map that reflects preconceptions. ・ Students can obtain correct knowledge by expressing error margin recognition to each other. ・ Students can study while making mutual evaluations, promoted by forming similar versions of the same idea.
