【ASⅡ・ASⅢ】貴重な1時間! / Maximize the hour!
今日は授業変更により、1時間だけASⅡを実施しました。各班、研究計画書の作成に取り組んでいます。班によって人数は様々ですが、班員やクラスメイトと協力しながら具体的な計画がだんだん見えてきているようです。
並行して、ASⅢの各班は理科棟のあちらこちらで研究を進めています。おなじみ「アマモ班」は、今日は水槽中の窒素とリン酸の数値を計測しています。アマモが成長するのに必要な栄養塩類の濃度を調べているそうです。予想と違った結果になりそうとのこと、さて、どんな理由が考えられるのでしょうか。
「クラゲ班」は、クーラーボックスからクラゲをバケツに移しています。友達のお父さんが捕まえてきてくれたとのこと、感謝ですね!これから、このクラゲは切り刻まれ、溶解液の材料となります。透明でぷにぷにしていて、なんだか美味しそうに見えますね!(※食べられないそうです)
貴重な1時間、有効に使って研究頑張ってください!
Students in ASⅡ class have been working hard, with group members and classmates alike, falling deep into discussions to map out their plans.
Meanwhile, students in ASⅢ class are proceeding their research, step by step, in the science building. Group “Eelgrass” is checking nitrogen and phosphoric acid levels in the tank where they grow eelgrasses. These are some nutritious compounds, which all plants need to grow. However, the results they are getting isn't quite what they had expected. What could be the reason?
Another group, called “Jellyfish,” which has been trying to use jellyfish as a solution for red tides, is putting some into a bucket. Those jellyfish were caught by their friend’s father for their research. (Thank you, father!) These jellyfish will soon be cut into pieces and dissolved in water. Being transparent and gelatinous, they kind of look delicious! (Please do not attempt.)
Rainy season has started, and it makes many students gloomy. Well, do not give in to the rain and please make the best use of this precious hour!
