Engineering for Kids: 

Science Fair 2023

On February 20, 2023, the senior high school facilitated the "Engineering for Kids." It was one of the programs for the Science Fair  in which  they were tasked to perform engaging experiments in the fields of Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. This project was created primarily for SPAS ECE learners to help them advance their knowledge and scientific curiosity. Moreover, performances from the ECE students and games were held prior to the start of the Science Fair Exhibit.

 

The program began with a prayer led by Dwayne Cordoves of Grade 11 -STEM, followed by  singing of the National Anthem, and opening remarks delivered by our beloved SCB president, Khyler Welsche Chua of Grade 12-STEM. Following the community singing and dancing for the kindergarten and nursery, Mrs. Leila M. Baltazar assisted in the awarding ceremony for their writing, coloring, and freehand drawing competitions. After the awarding ceremony came the joyful and energetic performance of kindergarten and nursery learners with cheers and yells.

 

Once the performances were finished, the ECE learners were asked different questions about the school and various scientific topics, wherein kids who provided accurate answers won prizes. They were given the opportunity to respond to the last question on how to greet one another and responded by taking a bow and placing their right hand on their chest which shows that SPAS learners are polite when greeting one another and to everyone. The maximum participation of the kindergarten and nursery pupils showed their enjoyment and very satisfactory activity engagement.

 

Lastly, they were toured to each science fair booth and given five minutes to interact and examine the results of each experiment they witnessed after the program. Due to the experiments—lava lamps and volcanic eruptions—lots of vinegar was used in chemical experiments. Paper boat and paper bridge experiments in physics demonstrate to ECE learners how the world functions. In Biology, the learners learned about plants and bacteria, which helped them understand that science is present all around us and affects everything we do, consume, and breathe.
