2023年1月25日 09時44分

   An international collaborative meeting was held online on November 6th (Japan time).From this time, Saijo High school other SSH in prefecture, has joined the project, and the four schools, Uwazima-Higashi High school, Saijo High school, and Waipahu High school, will conduct joint research. 
   The joint theme is "the improvement of the aquatic environment".Based on the results of the water quality study conducted last year using pack tests, each school is conducting its own field study from this year.
Seven two-year students in the Chemistry and Biology clubs at our school are working on "Developing a unique plastic bottle filtration system using everyday items".
   This was the first time for the students who reported on their progress to present in English, but thanks to the guidance of Mr.kouno and Adam, our ALT, They presented their work confidently and were actively engaged in the Q&A session. The students of the ESS club also attended the lecture and had a meaningful exchange with the students. ■


   I was not very good at English, but I was able to successfully give my presentation.
   It was a good experience for me to become familiar with English and to enjoy interacting with others. （ 209  Shiraishi Hikaru )
    

the Robot Idea Koushien Shikoku Tournament

2023年1月24日 16時37分

   Hikaru Shiraishi, a second-year student in the Department of Science and Mathematics at our school, represented Ehime Prefecture in the Robot Idea Koushien Shikoku Tournament held on Saturday, October 29th, at e-Topia Kagawa in Takamatsu. As an idea for a new way to use industrial robots, she proposed and presented "Ryosuke," a fully automatic fishing boat using a robot arm. The judges commented, "It was good that the robot considered not only production but also environmental conservation," and "The robot took the usage environment into account when considering materials and processing." Unfortunately, the result was not enough to qualify for the national competition, but there were many things, such as the presentation method, that will be helpful in the future.
   I learned the importance of advance preparation when I participated in the Robot Idea Koshien.   Advance preparation gives you more time to repare for the actual presentation.   I felt that this is where the winners and losers were decided.( 209  Shiraishi Hikaru )

   A co-authored thesis by Kotetsu Maruyama enrolled at this school and teachers of Ehime  and Kyushu University was published in ‘EPL’
   Kotetsu Maruyama worked on his themed research, receiving guidance from Mr.　Tatsuhiko Miyata at Ehime University as a 2020 Global Science Campus student.
    This was analyzed thesis ‘Integral equation study oh effective attraction between liked-charged particles mediated by cations : Comparison between IPY2 and HNC closures.’
     It is very unusual and unprecedented that  Japanese student’s thesis was appeared in international academic journal of overseas.

~The content of this experiment～
   I mainly collected data related to colloidal particles by using PC program which is called ‘Cygwin’.

~Thoughts~
 It was hard at times to understand the use of the Cygwin and collidial phenomenon, however it was interesting to get to grips with the process. ( Kotetsu Maruyama 307 )
  

“World Tsunami Awareness Day” 2022

2022年12月28日 13時19分

   On October 19th and 20th, I participated in the High School Students Summit convention on “World Tsunami Awareness Day” 2022 for 2 days.  It was held at the Toki Messe in Niigata city. In the breakout sessions, we shared our opinions on the theme “Disaster Risk Reduction” and discussed it together, In addition, I gave a presentation whose title was “Fabrication of seismic isolation rubber which can be used for furniture.”  I made a lot of friends, including international students, and played a role in a commemorative tree planting.  Through this summit, my awareness of disasters and measures against them increased. I had a wonderful time. ■（OZAKI Yuka　109）
            

9.15 SS in Ehime University

2022年10月26日 17時32分

A lecture course was started, with a choice of lectures on chemistry and geology for first-year students, and respectively agriculture and mathematics for second-year students.
After their approximately-120-minute lecture, we enjoyed a tour of the laboratories and other facilities.

First-years: Chemistry
Lecturer: Prof. Tatsuya KUNIMOTO
Subject: "Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals"

First-years: Geology
Lecturer: Prof. Masanori KAMEYAMA
Subject: "Looking Inside the Earth and Planets through the Eyes of Physics: Solid Earth and Planetary Physics."

Second-years: Agriculture
Lecturer: Prof. Momoko ISHIDA
Subject: "Functional evaluation of food ingredients using cultured animal cells: anti-allergic and anti-obesity effects.

Second-years: Mathematics
Lecturer: Prof. Takamitsu YAMAUCHI
Subject: "Real Numbers and Infinitesimals (Toward College Mathematics)"

Lecturers taught us about the cutting-edge of science and technology at the university, in a way that was easy to understand. We learned how interesting it is to conduct research in each area of study, and about the attitudes of the professors who are engaged in everyday research.■

Comment：
I gained a lot of interest from this session. Their lecturing style was very engaging. I intend to proceed to higher education, so I would like to learn many subjects more deeply. ( Masaharu HOKIGUCHI  109 )
