In 2011, my class was lucky, as we managed to have one Science Field Trip in Term 2 for Ecology, due to the fact that we it was after our Science test and thus we had it on a holiday. However, we also had practical lessons every week for Chemistry and Physics.
For Chemistry, we started off with acid and bases and learn the basics but important reactions between Acids, Bases, Metals and Carbons. It was really wonderful to look at the reactions being carried out during these lessons. It was not really interesting as it used to be as we were doing acids and bases over the whole term, however the good thing was that we were able to do the experiment on our own and could be amazed by our results. This was something that could never be achieved no matter how vividly and excitingly the textbook describes the experiment. It was both enjoyable and fruitful for the practical lessons.
In Physics, we carried out many experiments on light, which was rather interesting. Even though I found Physics a moderately challenging Science topic, I have an interest in it and I will strive to do well in it.
It was extremely fun to see the different reactions on the reflected light beams when we shifted the positioning of the incident ray.
In these practical lessons, we were thought not too look at one angle but many other and not to be narrow-minded. It tells us that Science is limitless and something new can happen anytime and it is up to us, to find out how it happened. It also teaches us that getting an A1 is not as important as having fun and continuously learning and find out more on the topics.
