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.

Advanced Science Researches for Junior High School students

2021年9月13日 16時25分

　　On July 26th to 28th, during consecutive three days, Advanced Science Researches for Junior High School students were held. 130 junior high school students from 54 junior high schools and their 57guradians attended. They chose two from four researches ― physics, chemistry, biology and earth science ― and joined inquiry activities.
Physics area: Measure the period of a pendulum using an optical sensor.
     Chemistry area: Have an experience about the ultra-low temperature.
     Biology area: The eyes and brain are connected? Perform experiences about how brains work.
     Earth science area: Observe the crystals and make a jewel soap.
     We, second-year students of Science and Mathematics course, emphasized features of our course and help junior high school students join the activities as TA.

I am very glad to know how energetic they are. （209 Reira OCHI）
