On March 23rd at the Faculty of Agriculture, Ehime University, we along with prof. Moeko Ishida, herself a graduate of our school for SSH’s second cohort, reported
on the results of the research “Verification of anti-obesity effects of Ginkgo
Leaf Extract”, carried out by now second-year Science and Mathematics
course students from the Ginkgo group. In addition to the report, we
received guidance and advice for future research.
Starting from April, with the relaxation of infection control measures, we are
scheduled to conduct research in the university laboratory for the first time
in two years.■
We were able to actually go to the university laboratory, and were showed
All of the experimental equipment, which was a very good experience. ( 309 Kokoro shiraishi )
On Saturday, March 18, Junior Session of the Physics Society of Japan was held online, and six research teams from our school’s physics course participated. The competing teams were selected to represent their school after having their research papers, which were due last December, read by the judges our six teams were the most from any one school in the whole country. The session consisted of 10 minutes presentation, 5 minutes Questions and Answers, and 20 minutes free discussion. The for each team Q&A sessions were full of very advanced and sharp questions from so many physics professors gathered in just one place. The competing students looked nervous, but they seemed to do their best to answer the questions. The research topics of the competing teams were as follows:
・Research on causes of splattering of contents when opening seasoning sachets
・Wind power generation using a flywheel with variable moment of inertia
・Research on wind power generation of rotating objects using
・Why is the sound amplitude different whether a container filled with water is tapped or shaken?
・Conditions and principles of the generation of the kay effect ~Focusing on the type of fluid and the plane in which shampoo falls~
・Conditions for the occurrence of the glare phenomenon: Focusing on optical factors ■
Impression
I think I was able to increase my motivation for research through discussions with students from other schools with whom I would not normally have the opportunity to interact. I would like to make the most of the opinions we gained from these discussions in the future.
During Super Science class on February 16th, a 11 group’s of project research presentation session was held. As for 2nd year students 11 groups gave presentations. As for 1st year students listened and held question-and-answer session. The 2nd year students seemed nerves, however they were able to give great presentations. During the question-and-answer session and critique sharp points were raised and issues were identified. From now they will continue to deepen their research and do their best in writing and presenting their dissertations.
I decided I want to be able to give great presentations like my seniors, so I will continue to my do my best in my research.
I was able to learn how to make on effective presentations.
I would like to make the best use of this experience in my research.
Ehime Science challenge 2022 was held at Ehime University, participating 5 teams of 2nd grade students from our school. After 30-minutes of highlight presentation, a poster session was held, followed by a Q & A session. After much deliberation by judges from the faculty, “study on wind power generation of rotating body using a winged model” and “conditions of occurrence of grade phenomenon : Approaching optical factors” won the Excellence Award (prefectural best 4). All participants took part eagerly.
In addition, students from the Science and Mathematics Department cooperated in running this competition. I helped with session not giving their own meeting and other preparations. Moreover, students presentation also observed many of those from their peels, and had a meaningful time, such as interacting with students from other schools at the workshop before the closing ceremony.
I think it was a good opportunity to learn about the research of other schools and I was able to have a wonderful time.
