Uncover the Science Behind Things

Now that's Science!


  In March 23 of 2024, a group of wonderful individuals called "Wandering Minds" came into our school and showed us the wonders of science. They shared their knowledge about the Earth and the other planets in the galaxy and gave us an experience that we could never forget. That day was such a fun moment to remember and one to cherish with friends.


    The first activity we did was a simple discussion and demonstrations of incredible experiments done by scientists. I could remember the Dynamo Bike where in paddling the bike that was connected to a light bulb makes the bulb light up due to the energy caused by the wheel of the bike converting into electrical energy that causes the bulb to light up. It was such a magnificent thing to witness and I really wonder how could people invent something so awesome. The other thing I saw was the mini windmill connected to a bulb and turning the fans of the windmill causing the bulb to light up was also something worth the awe. But I could never forget the electric shock I felt when the students I was with held hands together and one of them held a small machine that generates electric shock and all of us felt the shock as we held hands. It was such a fun experience and one that gave me a good laugh. I could still feel the tiny shocks on my fingers.


The last activity we did was the one where we went into a big dome and a spherical projector was in the middle and showed us the sky and the stars. It was an experience I could never forget, interacting with the sky and being able to explore planets in a very realistic way was something I could never forget. I love how realistic it seemed that I almost forgot that I was still in Earth and not in those planets we ventured into.


Although there were fun experiments shown, the Dynamo Bike was the one I remember the most. It was such a genius invention and one that can help the world and its problems with converting electricity in the safest way. There is a device planted on the bike that converts the energy created by spinning the wheel of the bike into electricity that causes the connected light bulb to illuminate. I was in so much awe at how amazing it is and how it could benefit us and at the same time help the world. Imagine using this method to create electricity instead of using nuclear power plants, this could help us prolong the life of our precious Earth.



It was just a short experience but it left a memory worth remembering for long. As someone that likes to wonder a lot about how things work, this really enlightened me and showed me how science works. I could say that Science really is a wonder.

Kakulangan ng mga Silid Aralan

 Kakulangan ng mga Silid Aralan               Ayun sa DepEd, nagkulang ng 159,000 na silid aralan para sa pagbabalik aral sa taong 2023-2024. Halos 440 na silid aralan ang nawasak ng mga dumaang bagyo ayon sa report ni Assistant Seceretary Francis Bringas. Ito'y makakaapekto sa pag-aaral ng mga estudyante lalo na't ang silid aralan ang pinakamahalagang parte ng pag-aaral dahil ito ang tinuturi nilang ikalawang tahanan.             Mahalaga sa paglago ng edukasyon ng estudyante ang kanyang paligid na ang silid aralan dahil mas nahahasa ang kanilang talas ng isipan kapag sila'y nasa isang magandang paligid. Ang kakulangan ng mga silid sa paaralan ay makakaapekto sa pag-aaral ng isang estudyante. Magsisiksikan ang mga mag-aaral na dulot ng kakulangan ng silid at maaari itong nakakapahamak sa kanila. Kadalasan ng mga pampublikong paaralan ay kulang na kulang ng mga silid kaya ginagamit nila ang covered court bilang silid. Nakakasama ito sa mga mag-aaral dahil sa init ng panahon

MY INTRAMS JOURNAL

Intramurals isn't really my thing. Back then, I would just watch my classmates play while I sit at the sides doing nothing. I was more of a study person rather than a sports person. Games are not my thing and I don't like competition. But all of this changed after I joined the Intramurals 2023 in Asian College of Technology. I joined several games and it made me feel different.  The first game I played for the Intrams was basketball. I am not a good basketball player and my body was not expecting the exhaustion after the game. It was a sport made me feel like all the air in my lungs were gone. Despite the consequences of the game, we won the first round and it made me feel good. Winning makes me feel good and it just got better when I won a match in scrabble the next day of Intrams. I just learned how to play scrabbles and I was definitely not expecting to win a match. I was so happy when I won. Though not every time I get to win, there were a few losses but it's ok. It'

Gender Equality

  Gender equality is a right every women have been fighting for. It's because women have fewer rights than men and unfair treatment from the public or society. As time progresses, more sexualities have been discovered and have been open with it. It's not a bad thing to be open with your sexuality, in fact, it feels like a burden has been lifted off of your shoulders since you don't have to hide it anymore. Many people get harassed because of their gender or sexuality, some get depressed because they feel like an alien among their peers and it is because some people are not educated about this. Every community or person should make a queer person feel comfortable, safe and protected. That also applies to women, who fear going out at night or be conscious of their clothing because of obvious reasons. These individuals or everyone should feel safe at schools, malls, houses, communities and places that has many people. It's best that kids must learn to treat others equally
