Marine Environment contest for high school students was held in Kobe on August 26th (Fri). The group “Negibo's”from science and math course the third year at our school gave an oral presentation.
While the presentation time was only 12 minutes and guidance and advice was only 20 minutes, the three teachers who instructed us detailed instruction on how to make slides and the content of our research, as well as presentation skills, which enabled me to get a high evaluation.
High school students became more aware of marine environmental issues, and other participating schools requested that they be taught how to conduct experiments threshes making it a meaningful presentation on.■
Comment：
I became more interested in maritime issues, because I was able to discuss marine environmental issues with students and teachers from other schools.
From now on, I would like to try to improve marine environmental problems. ( Shingu Sae 309HR )
On Tuesday, August 23rd,
Seven high school students in the second year of high school took park in "Ehime SDGs Contest". Twelve teams, one from each of the 12 high schools in the prefecture, have each decided on a theme related to the SDGs and have been active for about five months. Reports given by each team were very unique and interesting, and the program was very valuable. Our school’s theme was “Gender”. In response to the adoption of slacks in girl’s uniform, we worked to raise awareness of gender issues. You can see each team’s activities of energetic high school students.■
Student’s Comment
I could understand gender and I joined this contest actively. It was very hard but it was also valuable. I would like to continue this kind of activity. (208HR OGAWA futa)
An orientation for the foundation stage of the ROOT program was held on July 31st.
Through this lecture, I realized that even simple questions can be made more organized, and that deeper answers can be reached by thinking about them in neither more fundamental or more lateral ways. In addition, when students exchanged opinions, there were many fascinating opinions that I myself wasn’t able to think of. ■
Student’s Comment
From this session, I learned that it’s important to look at things from a variety of perspectives. ( Mana SHIMAMURA 109 )
The third-year science and mathematics vitamin team participated in the SSH competition on Wednesday, August 3rd and Thursday, August 4th, by presenting posters and conducting scientific exchanges. It was the first time in three years that SSH schools from all over the country were able to meet, and we were able to realise the advantages of face-to-face meetings, as well as the growth of students. We would like to utilise the advice and opinions of many high school students and judges as motivation for future research.

High school students in science clubs from around the prefecture gathered to attend a research workshop. It was held as a hybrid of group participation at our school and online participation, all while taking infection control measures.
First, the lecture titled “Discovering Issues and Key Points” was conducted by Kouji MURAKAMI, vice-principal of Mishima High School. It supported various experiments, and at the same time made us think deeply about them in many different aspects.
After that, the representative schools participating in the All-Japan Culture Festival were announced, and a research team from our school representing chemistry gave a presentation on the theme of “Let’s save the ocean with shaved green onion ~ Removal of marine pollutants.”
From the afternoon, Yousuke TAMAI, teacher at Imabari Nishi High School, gave a lecture on “Measurement Instrumentation DrDAQ.”
It was a very productive workshop. ⬛
Student’s Comment
We learned how to interpret the software’s graphs, and it was fun to do the calculations ourselves. – Yuuha KITAMURA, 309
