Science is commonly known for dull theories and
unknown facts portrayed on a textbook, but the ste-

ior 3 Science Station Games, respectively.

The event for all juniors was relatively easy and

a parachute with the materials provided, which
consisted of water, various plastic containers,
newspapers and garbage bags. Seniors from the
Science Class were spread out to guide their as-

students enjoyed a remarkable performance of their
creations in action afterwards, gathering right at the
lobby level of Block A, where the assistants tossed
their respective parachutes from above at the third
floor’s balcony.

As for the Junior 2 and 3, they underwent station
games that admittedly are more complex than
their younger peers. Multiple stations with a wide
variety of experiments were laid out for them,
with Chemistry, Maths and Physics being the main
concern of the day. Experiments were designed to
refresh the students’ minds, and to also train them
to face their exams and studies later in life.

The first station’s theme was static electricity. Due
to the large number of students, the stations were
split into two different classrooms. Students were
