Science Road Show!

On Wednesday, 28th of November which is today. The year 7s of HHS all went science road show, some of the year 10s also helped the program. There was a lot of different activities to mess around with. Not only that but they also opened our brains by teaching us knowledge that we might haven't even known before. The first thing they talked to us about, was about temperature which is hot and cold. They explained that lowering temperatures slow down the movement of the particles and molecules. Also, they told us that there is a limit on what the maximum coldness is. (273Co). Now, moving on the heat. Which is the opposite will occur instead of slowing the molecules down, heat makes them speed up. Although there is no maximum temperature of how hot it could get.

After the demos that they presented, we were finally allowed to explore and discover by doing experiments that were arranged throughout the room. There were so many activities to choose from that I had a hard time to choose a single activity. So I went with my friends which were Axle, Lars and Ranit. We had a few minutes to try out some of the experiments, then we had to go back because they had another presentation to talk about. It was about "Am I Alive?" There were different topics, nutrition and other stuff. They explained how we move our arm if you're asking how we move our arm. It's all thanks to our biceps and triceps. These two muscles work together to make movement. After that, they needed three volunteers. The person who was running the presentation chose three different students, and for some reason, those three students were all from my class. The first volunteer had to take a deep breath and blow it into a tube to see how much air there is in his lungs. The second volunteer had to be dressed up like a caveman and had to be blindfolded. He had to raise up one hand randomly, the person who was running the program placed two trays with different types of food. The other had nice food and fruits, while the other had skulls and eyeballs. He raised up a hand and he luckily got the good tray. It kept going until it was the last volunteer's time. The programmer guessed what height will the volunteer will be when he turns to be an adult.

But anyways that was all and I had a great time during the Science Road Show and I hope there will be another one next year. I hope you have a great time.
