ASⅢでは、各グループの研究を進めています。「電磁誘導班」は、公式を活用したり川の流れを観察しながら、今後の研究の方向性を練り直していました。「アマモ班」は研究を進めながら、地学室でアマモを植えたり、水槽を掃除したりしています。光合成を妨げないために清掃が欠かせないとのこと、研究は毎日のコツコツの積み重ねですね。

　5月27日には科学部とASⅢの生徒が熊本大学で実施される三学会合同熊本大会（日本動物学会九州支部会・九州沖縄植物学会・日本生態学会九州地区会）でのポスター発表に参加します。コロナ禍も収束に向かいつつある今年度は、校外での活躍の場も増える見込みです。それぞれの研究の成果が発揮できますように。

Students in ASⅢ have been carrying their studies forward working as a team.  A group studying electromagnetic induction was discussing using physics formulas and observing the streamflow from the window.  They were rethinking the hypothesis and determining the direction of their study.  Meanwhile, students studying on producing bioethanol from eelgrass, were planting more eelgrasses and cleaning the water tanks they use.  They say they have to clean the tank every day, to keep the eelgrass photosynthesized properly.  Their daily efforts will surely prove the saying “Continuity is the father of success.” some day.

This Saturday some students of the Science Club and ASⅢ students will participate in an academic conference at Kumamoto University.  They will be joining poster presentations representing our school.  As COVID-19 disaster has been settling down gradually, students are expecting to have more chances for presentations.  We hope they can do their best!
