  We had the 23rd SS of this year today.  We gave presentations of Challenge Research.  All groups of second-year science course students gave presentations.  They told research results by using slides.  It enabled the audience to understand our research easily.  Questions and answers were actively asked and achievements of this year were shown in various scenes.  Students evaluated each other by using rubric.  The audience were required their abilities of asking questions.　After presentations, we received the advice from our vice-principal.  He said that we had three tasks; the first point is to figure out ways to have listeners get interest in research, the second is to devise how to deliver the contents in an easy way and the third point is to deliver logically and gradually to make the content more persuasive.  We still have a little time until the final Research Results Meeting of this year is held.  We will do our best.    (Jane Doe)
             

  Our school held SDGs meeting at Nanpu-kan building in Matsuyama Minami high School.  Participants actively exchanged ideas about making sustainable towns.  Three students of science course took part in this event.  They gave presentations and joined workshop.  Now, SDGs improves various works in the world.  Each people can continue doing something to achieve goals.  Let’s get interested in SDGs and you can do something.

Giving the presentation

  Science course students participated in “Ehime Job Challenge U-15 Festa in Chuyo district” and “Ehime Super High Schools Consortium” held at Himegin Hall on February 9 (Saturday).  The students of our school and Tobe branch school gave the poster presentation of "Developing accessories of Tobe-yaki using ginkgo ash," one of the projects of "High School Development program, living and growing in local communities."  For the first graders of “Ginkgo group”, it was the first time to give a presentation in front of a large number of people, and they felt really nervous．Many people got interested in it and heard it.
Second graders of “Droplets of Water Group” gave a presentation at the stage.  The presentation was easy for everyone to understand.  So, not only high school students but also junior high school students asked us questions.  Second graders positively asked SGH students some questions in English and it surprised the audience.

We visited New York Academy of Science today.  This is the organization to solve global Issues by promoting scientific research and science education.  They promote SDGs and STEM education to support young researchers and students.  It is located in World Trade Center, Ground Zero.  There are also Memorial Park and monuments there.  They gave us an opportunity to think about 9.11.　　(I.I ,  Y.O,  A.M)
