about Matsuyama Minami High School

 Ehime Prefectural Matsuyama Minami High School has been designated as a Super Science High School (SSH) by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology since 2002. We have been researching and developing programs for science education in cooperation with universities and research institutes. We try to bring fascinating and inspiring science activities not only to our students but also to the local community.  Each of our students does a great deal of individual research, and because of their strenuous effort, they have won prizes in various kinds of science fairs.

about SSH

 The SSH project was started in 2002 as part of the "Scientific Literacy Enhancement Initiative" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It aims to develop student abilities and develop global leaders with great ambitions in the field of science. And technology. As of 2021, there are 218 high schools designated as SSH, including ours.

  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.


Students separated each aqueous solution
They got used to handling pipettes
They had colorful aqueous solutions
