On Saturday, January 23rd, 2nd-year students of the stibnite group visited the collection room of minerals at ICHINOKAWA Community Center.

The first grade students had a study tour o the United Kingdom every year so far.  This year, however, we adjourned it.  It is because of the expanded infection of COVID-19.  We have prepared various plans instead.   On Friday, January 8th, the studnets had a science study conference online.  They had presentations in English to exchange students and teachers from Kyoto University.  They made a presentation in English for the first time.  Then they seemed to be confused but it was a valuable experience ofor them.  We appreciate those from Kyoto university who helped us.

The following are the topic of our presentations;

・Formation of Vortex made by Magnetic Stirrer
・The Improvement of Magnesium Air Battery -- using Chelation of Mg²⁺
・Making of Vascular Specimens of Pig Kidney8th, the studnerts had a science study conference online.
・Research on Seismic Control System -- Preparation for the Nankai Trough Earthquake

Three students joined "SDGs×high school Youth meeting" online.  The organizer was Ehime University Senior High School.  It was held on Friday, 25th December.  In the first part, they learned about "Efforts of JICA's contribution to SDGs proprtopm: learnt from West Balkan countries."  The lecture was made by Kobayashi Hideyo, who is the director of JICA Shikoku.
Students discussed which one of the SDGs goals the activities introduced in the lecture are aiming at respectively.  In the second part, they had a presentation with confidence about "the research of emergency rations for peopel who need care in case of a disaster." 

SSH Science experience training(Eastern Japan devision) was held online on Friday, December 25th.  It was an online visit to NIMS this year.  They explained about "Kiankou", which was synthesized in our school．They also told about the institutions where they are studying super heat-resistant alloy or super conduction substance.  During the talk, we held a web meeting and at the same time made an experiment with super conduction substance at our school.

We conducted the online training on Tuesday, December 22nd.  Five professors from Kyoto University and its related institutions introduced their laboratories and other facilities to us.  In addition, those professors and our students had a discussion about the theme "The  scenery I want to pass on to the younger generation."  It was a meaningful online training experience that helped the students think about how to highten the awareness and spread the activities to build a sustainable society.
