Three second-year students of the Science and Mathematics Department of our school participated in the COC OUS-R Interim Presentation, a high school-university cooperative project to promote scientific inquiry activities in the Faculty of Science, Kyoto University, in which 21 schools from all over Japan participate. 　On the first day, a slide presentation was given first. 　Our school gave a presentation titled "Butyric Acid in Ginkgo Biloba for the Improvement of Bad Odor". 　There was a lively Q&A session, and our students were seen actively asking questions. 　After the presentation, students from other schools gave poster presentations and had fruitful discussions.

On the second day, after conducting chemical experiments on dyes, we had an exchange meeting with high school students around the posters.

■We would like to thank all the professors and students of Kyoto University for taking time out of their busy schedules to provide us with this opportunity. 　I am glad to have good experiences.    ( 209HR  Jinno　Maho )
