Life's dealt me another great blow... think I'll just have to work harder?

Some interesting things have happened this past week. Shall blog about them.

Okay, start with Monday. Had practical on Monday as usual and we were doing experiments in preparation for the upcoming SPA exams already. We were to be calculating thermal energy given out when adding iron strip to acid. Well, what was interesting was that while doing the experiment, my iron strip just would not react with the FA3(ie. HCL). After trying for a few times, I decided to get XinPing's help and realised that the "solution" I had gotten was actually pure DI- water. LOLS! No wonder no reaction occured. Zzz...

Had 'A' Levels oral exams on Tuesday this week. But wasn't too worried about it though, having gone through the 'O' Levels Higher Mother Tougue oral exams. Question was about whether the opening of the casinos brought about more advantages or disadvantages. Well, didn't have too much trouble with it. Only a little bit when the examiner asked what other advantages other than bringing in more revenue and I was stunned. All in all, think they were quite satisfied.

Had CCA on Wednesday. Mr Leow briefed us on several upcoming events.
1. Crystal Growing Competition. I took part in it:)
2. CIP project. Probably going to be handled by CIP head, Kendra.
3. Science Demo Presentation 21st July(Wed) or 28th July.
4. Strutured Enrichment Programme. For us all in the club. Is a programme where science teachers give us lessons relating to science. Eg. Chem sketch, Physics croc, microscope etc.
5. Open House & orientation 2011 - Plan. We have 2 Open Houses. One which is external during Jan for new sec 4 students. Another which is internal to attract more current Pioneers to join Alchemist Club.
6. Science Week 2011. We've got to start planning for new demos and got to get ready equipment, apparatus and chemicals.
Egs. - Make Pet Rocket fly further
- Straw Struture
- Egg falling but doesn't crack. Sounds interesting eh?

7. We also need an Alchemist Club website - for oreintation and PJC Science Competition 2011
8. We've also got to present science facts to the members in the club weekly from now onwards, each taking his turn.
