A nice Video

Last week, the science club members collected some pond water and observed it under the microscope. Here's what we saw :

It could a worm of some sorts, or possibly the larva of some animal. The video was take using my moblie phone camera pointing through the eyepiece of the microscope.

Fly, Fly, Fly, the Butterfly

We started the Butterfly breeding programme last week. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy !

Look out for the next update !

Lotus Flower

I think it is beautiful.

Prof Shawn Lum visits the Science Club

On 11th July 2008, Prof Shawn Lum from NIE visited the Science Club.

The science club members had a good time interacting with him. Everyone had lots of questions for him. Well, it is not often that you get to meet a biologist.

Perhaps we would go on a field trip with Prof Lum someday !

More Datalogging

Here is a pictorial tour of what we've been logging so far ......

Amount of light in the shade

Amount of light in the parade square

Temperature of the parade square

Temperature of the pond

More logging soon !

Dataloggers

The science club pupils learnt how to use a datalogger during the last lesson.

A datalogger is a device that enables us to measure things such as temeprature, light and sound using sensitive sensors. We can then analyse the data collected and form conclusions to our investigation.

The datalogger is PDA based and as you can see, the results are displayed as a graph in the PDA.

We will do more experiments with the datalogger soon !

Harvest

It has been a while since the last update. Here's what we've been up to :

The science club helped to transplant some seedling to the hydroponics system and did some harvesting.

Here's the bumper harvest.....

The next harvest should be one month later.
