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.

A lecture course was started, with a choice of lectures on chemistry and geology for first-year students, and respectively agriculture and mathematics for second-year students.
After their approximately-120-minute lecture, we enjoyed a tour of the laboratories and other facilities.

First-years: Chemistry
Lecturer: Prof. Tatsuya KUNIMOTO
Subject: "Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals"

First-years: Geology
Lecturer: Prof. Masanori KAMEYAMA
Subject: "Looking Inside the Earth and Planets through the Eyes of Physics: Solid Earth and Planetary Physics."

Second-years: Agriculture
Lecturer: Prof. Momoko ISHIDA
Subject: "Functional evaluation of food ingredients using cultured animal cells: anti-allergic and anti-obesity effects.

Second-years: Mathematics
Lecturer: Prof. Takamitsu YAMAUCHI
Subject: "Real Numbers and Infinitesimals (Toward College Mathematics)"

Lecturers taught us about the cutting-edge of science and technology at the university, in a way that was easy to understand. We learned how interesting it is to conduct research in each area of study, and about the attitudes of the professors who are engaged in everyday research.■

Comment：
I gained a lot of interest from this session. Their lecturing style was very engaging. I intend to proceed to higher education, so I would like to learn many subjects more deeply. ( Masaharu HOKIGUCHI  109 )
