SSH「ベーシックサイエンス（理科）」の授業では、理科４分野の身近な現象を題材に探究活動を行っています。
現在、化学分野を実施しています。
今回は、氷の溶解速度の探究実験です。
水に入れた氷とオレンジジュースに入れた氷はどちらが速くとけるのか？？？
予想とその理由を発表しました。
白衣を着用し、いざ実験です！
（みんな白衣！ただし、先生のはＹシャツです）
実験後、とける速さの理由（仮説）を考えました。
仮説を検証するため、班ごとのオリジナルの実験プランを考え実験を行います！
サーモグラフィーカメラで温度をチェック中！
ふむふむ、ふむふむ。なるほどね。
次の探究活動も頑張りましょう！
On saturday 17th, 7 second-year students and 2 first-year students from the commerce cource participated in the 5th Saturday Education. This time, they walked up the old walking course of Mt.ishizuchi. They enjoyed the beauty of nature, feeling the mystery in the mountains. At Gokurakuji temple, they learned about “the attraction of mountains”, “how to spend time in nature” and “the history of the Ooboki district.” They had a wonderful time feeling the autumn coming.
We invited Mr. Sasaki, from Saijo City Hall's Tourism Promotion Division, Industry and Economy Department, and Ms. Nguyen, a CIR, to give a lecture on "Multicultural Community Development in Saijo City," to 1st grade students They learned about the current status of international exchange in Saijo City, found some issues to be improved, and thought about their research themes. It was a valuable opportunity for the students to learn about what is going on in Saijo City.
On August 27 (Sat.) and 28 (Sun.), a two-day science camp was held, in cooperation with Kyoto University, Kochi University, and Saijo City. On the first day, students were separated into two groups and did the field work after a lecture. A team collected information of the region and geography by using GPS. B team collected organisms. On the second day, A team made a map based on the information collected the day before, and B team made the biological specimen in the morning. In the afternoon, students invited people from the community and presented them the results of the two days. It was a very valuable opportunity to understand the region, while contacting with university researchers.
On Monday, 12th, we held open classes on Improving ICT Utilization in Class. Two teachers conducted lessons using ICT in English and Japanese classes. In each class, every student used their own laptop, and enjoyed the class with a positive attitude.
