It was a scorching hot mid-morning and yet,
enthusiastic students made their way to the soccer field and waited to launch
their handmade PET rockets. Each launch of a rocket was accompanied by loud
excited squeals, as students were amazed at the speed of and distance covered
by their humble rockets.
The PET Rocket activity was just one of the
many exciting activities helmed by the Science Department for the week long Science Week in Term 3 Week 5. Now in
its second year running, the Science Week gave HSS Science teachers an
opportunity to share their love for Science with students outside of the
classrooms.
Different learners had different
opportunities to experience the fun in Science and at their own comfort level.
Kinaesthetic learners could try their hand at launching PET rockets and playing
the D&I Science games and Periodic Table games with their friends, while auditory
learners could listen to their schoolmates share their experiences in different
Science enrichment workshops and camps. Daily magic shows, Science quizzes, and
Science posters and displays were just some of the activities to engage our
visual learners.
The Science Week was a clear success with
more students seen being involved in and excited by the activities. Needless to
say, the Science teachers are certainly more enthused to stage it with a bigger
bang next year!
