[Kansai] 7/5 Science Castle Seminar 3rd Research Seeds Seminar @ Wakayama Toin Junior High School High School!

On Tuesday, July 5, the 3rd Seeds of Research Seminar was held at Toin Junior and Senior High School in Wakayama Prefecture. Twenty-three first-year junior high school students and teachers from the school's science department participated in the seminar, where a researcher gave a lecture on the subject of PET bottle rocket research, "How do you proceed with your research? and practical learning through actual launches and other activities.
Participating teachers commented that it was an important and good opportunity for researchers to share "the concept of research and how to proceed" with junior high school students who will be conducting research in the future.

This seminar is part of the Science Castle Seminar conducted by RIVANES for students and teachers who are interested in research but have not found a topic.

In order to actually turn the cycle of research, which is to accumulate knowledge by repeating "problem," "hypothesis," "experimental design," "experiment," "discussion," and "presentation," we conducted the following seminars and at the school over a period of two and a half months.

<Mission.
Pay attention to the shape of the plastic bottle rocket and find the shape that flies best.
