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.

2020/10/28 a training support program

　Wednesday, October 28th, 8th period, a training support program for 42 first year students in science and mathematics course were given by Mr. Kubo of Ehime University, Graduated School for Teacher Education ml. The title was “peeling of arranges”. 　We had been using a chemical reaction to peel oranges since last week. This time, the students conducted the experiment. They were sure to be careful because they were using used NaOH, HCL and other dangerous chemicals. Based on Mr. Kubo’s hints, the students enjoyed competing to see which group could peel the oranges cleanly. The students were surprised that the neutralization reaction that they were learning now is used to make canned oranges. At the same time, it was a very meaningful hour that deepened our interest in chemical phenomena. It was a little difficult to understand, but we were able to finish the program in a good way.
