Term 2 Science Excursion

Hi Everyone,

I went on an excursion to the Macritchie Reservoir Park last term. I did not go on this excursion with my class as I went to support the Hwa Chong Waterpolo team on that particular day. Therfore, I had to change date and go to this excursion with the Ortus consortium classes. The Ortus boys were very annoying as they were always talking and pushing one another around throughout the journey to the Reservior Park. Firstly, we were all given two worksheets which had to be filled up on the trial. Then we went to the various stations where there are many activities, which we had to do and see before we knew how to fill up the worksheets. It was quite tedious though, with many questions on each page and furthermore, we were carrying our bags around, not to mention the humid weather which also led to us perspiring terribly.

From this excursion, I learnt various things that I did not know of previously and also had a broader view of science as a subject as it is one of the subjects that has the most hands-on activities. I hope that the school science department will organise more of such activities as they allow us to learnt science while having fun at the same time.

Yours,
Ryan Ong
