The Launching Of The Science And Math's Exhibition!

It's finally here! The update about the Science And Math's Exhibition! So let's get straight into it.
On the 22nd of March, the Science And Math's Exhibition of 2011 was officially launched by our very own principal, Pn. Hajah Zaleha. This event has been held every year for the past four years in conjunction with Science And Math's week and this year's edition came in with more fantastic and wonderful ideas.


The President of the club decided to give a speech before the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Science & Math's Exhibition of 2011 is officially launched!

Head Prefect, Kaelan Ong planned a opening ceremony experiment to kick off the exhibition with a bang!

Kaelan explaining the 'Elephant Paste' experiment and its outcome.

With a bit of potassium iodide poured by Pn. Zaleha into the mixture and there you have. Foam galore!

Let's start off the exhibits with water from the heavens.

The name says it all. Water from nowhere!

Next, we have Simple Distillation. This experiment creates ester which has a fruity smell or also known as perfume. The students in charge of the experiment came up with a variety of 'perfumes' which really smelt good.



Cloud In A Bottle?


Andrew explaining the process of the experiment step by step. "When pressure is optimum, the bottle experiences immediate condensation.......".

Qualitative Analysis Of Salt. Now for those of you who are familiar with this 4 words, you'd know they're all about salt compounds learnt in Chemistry when you were in Form 4. Forgot about it? Chapter 8, read up!

Jared giving a brief explanation about salt compounds and their changes when reacted with other substances.

Bending A Bone & Bouncing An Egg


Vinnith of 5 Damai as well explaining how to bend a bone to the teachers.

Math games are fun!

Zero Zorro!

This software teaches you how to play sudoku. Ain't that cool!


Pn. Zaleha & Pn. Chong competing against each other in a game of sudoku.

Instant Ice? Now that's cooooool.


It takes a few seconds before the ice is formed. Science at work.

Ever wanted to know what makes slime so slimey? Search our January post on how to make slime.


They're having fun!

Nasheel Kaur, also from 5 Damai demonstrating the use of slime as a stress releasing material. 

Centre Point Of Gravity? Point Of Equilibrium? Stability? All thanks to gravity!



Transport Of Water In Plants.

Jon Ho from..... yeah you guessed it, 5 Damai explaining how water travels in plants.


Immerse the stem of the flower in a certain coloured solution, in this case blue and you shall get a flower with blue petals. Ain't that gorgeous?

Dynamo Revolution! Arguably the most entertaining experiment throughout the exhibition.

Hot on their wheels.

Pn. Chong in pursuit!

Here's a video of Pn. Chong trying out 'Dynamo Revolution'




Pn. Zaleha joined in the fun and raced against Pn. Viani.

Here's another video. This time it's Pn. Zaleha against Pn. Viani.



The team behind the track. Aaron Lui & Andrian Tham.

Elephant Paste. Yeap, this paste seems familiar. This was the opening ceremony experiment which kicked off the exhibition in style.

Watch the clip above and see how the foam unfolds itself.

Rainbow coloured foam. Sweeeet.


Water Rocket & Coke Fountain! Both of them surely enough sound like fun.


Pump harder! Pump faster! 3, 2, 1........ we have lift off!



The crowd overjoyed watching the rockets fly high.
Pn. Zaleha then opted to give one of the bottles a blast off by volunteering herself to pump the rocket.



Pn. Zaleha in action.
And finally, Coca cola fountain! Add a few mentos sweets into a bottle filled with coke and you'll get a fountain! Don't believe me? Watch it for yourself.


I'm sure you're planning to try this one out right now. Hahah, well then what's stopping you?!

Overall, The Science & Math's Exhibition this year was deemed a success. With outstanding experiments and fascinating demonstrations, this year's edition was all in all superb. Wanna see more of our experiments? Stay tuned for part two where we're gonna show you all the experiments bit by bit! So don't go for too long. We'll be back soon!
