In the Science and Technology Week of UP High or Sci. Tech. Week for short,some year levels would have exhibits at the Science Fair.The first year students no longer have the traditional Investigatory Projects or IP's of UP High like what we did and had before.The real reason is what we really don't know.Even us,are wondering why they suddenly cut UP High's tradition of having investigatory projects that would help us learn more in science.Whatever the reason is one thing is for sure.Those who did not experience to have investigatory projects or IP's will have a hard time later on since they did not experience having one.The knowledge that you learned from the IP could be used in the experiments or researches that you will undertake.If you have already tried doing an investigatory project then you might not have a hard time doing some experiments.
During the Sci. Tech. Week held last school year we had a field trip.We went to the South Reclamation Project or SRP for short,Crocolandia where there were many animals.We had so much fun.This year there is also a planned field trip for the first year and second year students.We will be going to the ship MV Doulos.The ship is famous internationally for their book sale and their international crew.Since it is here in Cebu this month it is a nice opportunity to take or have since my friends and I are planning to go there.UP made a nice choice in choosing the venue or where to go.
I wonder what the other activities there would be this Sci. Tech. Week.For sure it would still be fun and exciting for the students.What do you think?!The planned dates for the Science and Technology Week is next week,I don't really know the exact dates for the activity.In the Sci. Tech. Week we could or would learn many things in the different fields of science and technology.The week showcases the different information of things that are happening today.You would witness and see different things before your very eyes.I don't know if there would still be Chemistry and Physics tricks like the ones shown before.The tricks that were done by the students were really very nice and it would really amaze you.Maybe this year the Sci. Tech. Week would have only very little activities.Like the other activities in school the faculty reduced the other related activities to the celebration because of the lack of time.In the original plans there so many activities to be done but because of the suspension of classes and all the other changes that took place in the school year they were forced to change the already planned schedule.Even though we would complain to the faculty it would not be able to change anything.We just have to go with the flow of the activities planed to avoid conflict.
The Science and Technology Week is really nice to have or experience.Somewhat like not only UP has this kind of activity,maybe also other schools have an activity like this or a practice of having a science fair.It would be a great opportunity for the students to learn also from outside the classroom or not from the teacher but also by themselves.They would learn many things in their own way or by themselves by finding out new things while observing the things around them.While they are having fun,what they are learning would be added to the knowledge that they have.
I hope that the schools will continue to nurture the knowledge and learning of the students so that they will grow into intelligent people and would be able to contribute to the improvement of our country and its economy.
To all the teachers,thank you for all that you have done for us your students.I hope that all of you would continue to help children to learn for the future.
