Science Fair 2006

Awesomeness! Did you catch the science fair?

On Tuesday, the Science department had an Egg throwing event. Thats where students create an apparatus to catch fresh eggs which was thrown from the second story. The objective of this experiment was to let the egg land on the apparatus and not let the egg break.

There were projects of many shapes and sizes.





BlogMs was particularly intruiged by the ingenuity of some students whom used sponges with a layer of water in them. This is so that the egg dont bounce out of the box, you reasoned. Thats a good idea!

It looked liked a lot of you were were having fun! There were alot of screaming about while you try to do practise shots using rocks (some even used wallets!) before trying out for the real egg.

There seemed to be alot of sucessful egg catchers. Unfortunately, there were also quite a number of broken eggs too. What a shame! All that eggs! It could have been used to make a nice omelette!




In the meanwhile, in the physics lab, some of you were brewing up something interesting! A crystal garden.

With different types of chemicals, different coloured crystals grow after a few minutes in the solution. And there were many many different tpes of crystals being formed.






The top three!



The next day, was a competition to find the strongest bridge. Some of the bridges were colourful and wildly decorated. BlogMs was impressed by one bridge that would withstand two very heavy school bags!








Did you guys enjoyed the science fair? That was a very interesting event!
