Young Scientists in the Making (Part 1)

Last February 26 and 27, 2013, the Seniors had to present and defend their investigatory projects to a panel.  Their curious minds were put to a test and using the steps in Scientific method, the students were able to come up with very interesting projects.  These projects are not their own invention.  The students were just asked to investigate an existing invention already and prove if the invention works or not.  

Project Name:  Oh My Gas:  "Yellow Bell Seeds"

Objective:  To determine the possibility of using yellow bell seeds crude extract as fuel in small lamps

Conclusion:  A Success! 

 Project Name:  Improvised Buzzer

Conclusion:  A Success!

 Project Name:   Paracheirodon Innesi De Crystales

Objective:  To make a "look-alike" crystal using tawas and salt

Conclusion:  Using salt was unsuccessful; tawas was a success!

 Project Name:  The Voltaic Battery

Objective:  To prove that lemon can work as a battery for a calculator

Conclusion:  A Success!

 Project Name:  Stick to One

Objective:  To make a simple glue using natural ingredients that can be found at home like vinegar and flour
