FUN ROCKET SCIENCE for kids this summer

At least this is a rocket launching that I would support. Not only that they will help young kids to understand science, it is a fun activity too.

The Philippine Science Centrum and the SkyXplore invites you to join this exciting activity and will teach you and your partner (working as a team) how to make and launch a rocket made of plastic bottles and strips. With your rockets assembled, your team will compete with other teams for event competitions on ACCURACY and DISTANCE.

Make experiments using home stuff

science has been very interesting to me especially when i can get a hands-on on every project or experiment. just yesterday, i had the opportunity to observe interesting facts that can be done by just using stuff from home.

Engr. Rolando Moya gave us an overview of the concepts that might be discussed by associating the experiments that are done in the symposium. indeed, the materials can only be found inside your home and they are guaranteed safe. teachers and parents can have fun doing these experiments and translate fun and dirt into interactive education.

first, we found the difference of light from regular coke. we all agree of the difference in the sugar content between the two but we can actually see even the difference in the aluminum content of the can. just place empty cans of regular and light cokes into an aquarium. the light cokes float higher than the regular ones.

next is testing density of a liquid. using different ratios of sugar and water, and add coloring to it, you can see how liquid can push the other liquid up to the brim of a tall glass. this is a very colorful and wonderful science experiment.

another fun experiment is making a Centrum ooze. it is otherwise known as slime used in TV productions. by using glue, water and borax, you can have a gummy and playful material.

the last experiment that we had is by knowing the principle of quick sand by just attaining a right mixture of cornstarch and water.

try those experiments and more at home. and for more educational and fun stuff, you can visit the Philippine Science Centrum located at the back of Riverbanks Center in Marikina.

Bioethics Gallery launched in Philippine Science Centrum

Bioethics -- is the study of the ethical issues and decision making associated with the use of living organisms.

a new gallery in the Philippine Science Centrum has been unveiled to share extended knowledge on the procedures of cloning, DNA alterations, nanobiotechnology, etc. the exhibit aims to teach us about the benefits of these different artificial procedures as well how these procedures can be accepted by the society and continue its use.

since i have already entered the Philippine Science Centrum, i never hesitated to try all the other exhibits. like going back into my childhood giving in to my curiosity. little minds will enjoy all the fun stuff here and learn about the world.

you can view all my other curious plays in this album.

if you want to know more about science and Bioethics in particular, you can visit the exhibit at the Philippine Science Centrum, E-Com Bldg., Riverbanks Center , Barangka, Marikina City.
