Today was the 4th SS this year.
Second graders conducted experiments and made summaries of the results and prepared presentation materials for the research plan presentation for the next week. There are teams that research is progressing smoothly, and there are also teams that review and drastically change. In any case, I would like you to consider the incentives for motivation and future plans closely and make them consistent.
First graders studied the enzymes of the biological field. First they learned basic knowledge about enzymes and then experimented with enzymes using liver. They have become accustomed to the handling of aqueous solutions and they have been able to work efficiently considering procedures. Of course they did not forget to take the record securely and make it available to the consideration.

Use an analytical balance to measure precisely
Observing enzyme reactivity
What will happen to the incense fire?

  Students had the third SS. Second graders didn't have SS because they had mid-term examination.
  First graders had experiment in chemistry. They observed reactivity of the cation, and they tried to to identify the unknown cations,paying attention to the safety. They were surprised at the difference in color and reactivity of the aqueous solution. They also tried identify what kind of ion they had by learning the differences of the reactivities of the aqueous solution. By doing these work precisely, they learned that objective experimental data can be obtained.

    Today we had the 2nd SS this year. The second year students prepared for presentation at Taiwan school trip and prepared for the presentation of our research plan in June. All the students were trying their best. From looking seriously, so we are looking forward to the contents of future activities.
    The first year student learned basic experimental techniques in the biological field. We reviewed how to operate the microscopes again, and calculated the range of the sight and observed the samples. The first year student has started studying the fundamentals of research activities. I am expecting that they will have basic knowledge of the research firmly  and the research will proceed smoothly.

    From this day SS of this school year started. The second grade gathered in each group and examined how to proceed this year's research. We exchanged opinions with enthusiasm with a teacher in charge.
    The first year student had the first SS since admission. First of all, they had explanation from their teacher about SSH of our school. After that, they practiced the basic operation of chemical laboratory instruments.
