If a specialist, especially someone belonging to a university, visits a high school or a school of lower stage and gives lectures about his or her specialty (resp. classes by experiments), such lectures (resp. experiments) (or such an acitivity) are called delivery-lectures (resp. deliveryexperiments). We report the results of the trial of the delivery-experiments planned and practiced by graduate students. The experiments were conducted to promote friendly exchanges between high school students and graduate students. The experiment comprised DNA typing of the MCT118 locus through DNA extraction, PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In this paper, our purpose is to promote graduate students’ activities as teachers in delivery-lectures and/or experiments instead of busy professors. We describe (1) the procedures from before to after the experiments and experimental circumstances, (2) comments from the high school students, effective points and improvements, (3) considerations for planning and practice by graduate students in the future.
