TagNalogy Camp 2004 @ Temasek JC (16-19 Nov 04)

2004-10-16T22:00:00.000+08:00

TaqNology Camp 2004 @ Temasek Junior College (16 - 19 Nov 04) The second Bio-IT camp, named TaqNology Camp, will be held at Temasek Junior College and jointly organized with Elchemi Education.

Bright young students in Singapore looking for an exploratory, investigative and interesting way to learn about technology and Life Science will be able to participate in cutting edge experiments and projects and also be able to tour Life Science related facilities. This allows hands-on experimentation and exploration of theories and how technology plays a part in Life Science. The camp is designed to create a fun environment in which participants can learn about Life Science and how it relates to the world around them. The four-day camp emphasizes hands-on experimentation and learning-by-doing through project work. It also includes multimedia-based learning of Life Science principles, as well as field trips and visits to research institutions. In addition to learning about the genetic basis of life and applications of biotechnology in everyday life, participants will learn to apply the scientific method, pick up the fundamentals of research methodology (in the laboratory, at the library, on the internet, etc), and even have the opportunity to learn about bio-informatics, and to prepare project reports and present their findings.

The camp is targeted at Secondary 1 and 2 students. Interested students may register with the attached form. The participation fee is at $260 per student. Completed forms should reach Elchemi Education by 25 Oct 2004.

ANYONE INTERESTED?

PLEASE ASK YOUR PARENTS ABOUT IT. FORMS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON WEDNESDAY UPON REQUEST.

Ultimate Mistake

2004-09-05T15:29:00.000+08:00

The following sign is displayed in many places in MINDEF and SAF camps.

It read:

The only way to avoid making mistakes

is not to do anything.

And that,

in the final analysis,

will be the Ultimate Mistake.

It is the spirit that says the person who fails is the person who does not try.

The worst mistake (refered to as the Ultimate Mistake)

is to do nothing, and simply wait for trouble to come.

Many of you may be familiar with the saying:

If I hear, I forget.

If I see, I remember.

If I do, I understand.

This is very true.

Let us not be just listeners and talkers.

Let us not be simply onlookers and observers.

Let us seek to be doers and learners.

The Ultimate Mistake lies in not thinking and not trying.

Avoiding the Ultimate Mistake lies in Learning by Doing.

Helping butterfly to fly

2004-09-05T14:15:00.000+08:00

There is a egg which hatches into a caterpillar in Weiliang's ecogarden. He was very happy. He will spend some time everyday to observe how the caterpillar eats and grows daily.

One day after school, he realise the caterpillar is making a cocoon out of its own body. He is very excited, for he knew that while it is in the cocoon, the caterpillar will change into a butterfly. When the butterfly is ready, it will start to break through the cocoon. So Weiliang waited patiently day after day.

Finally a hole appears. Weiliang saw the butterfly struggles to come out of the cocoon through the hole. He stood by and watched with great anticipation...
After half an hour, it is still struggling... so Weiliang thought of a brillant idea!!! He decided to help the poor butterfly. He ran into his house as fast as he could and he fetch the first scissors he could find and ran back to the garden.
He held his breathe and carefully sniped open the cocoon, waiting eagerly for the butterfly to spread its beautiful wings and fly.

5 seconds has passed... the butterfly looked oddly fat...

30 seconds has passed... it tried to spread open its tiny wings to fly..

1 minute has passed.. it is still trying...

5 minutes has passed.. it has not take off.... it looks tired...

10 minutes has passed... it gave up... it knew it can never fly...

At this moment, Weiliang seems to understood what the butterfly felt.. Tears begun to well up in his eyes... for he realised at that moment.. he is the reason why the butterfly could not fly...

Weiliang's “help” has destroyed the butterfly.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The butterfly can fly because it has to struggle to come out of the cocoon. The pushing forces lots of enzymes from the body to the wing tips. This strengthens the muscles, and reduces the body weight. In this way, the butterfly will be able to fly the moment it comes out of the cocoon. Otherwise it will simply fall to the ground, crawl around with a swollen body and shrunken wings, and soon die.If the butterfly is not left to struggle to come out of the cocoon, it will never fly.

We can learn an important lesson from the butterfly.If we do not have struggles and challenges in our work, we will never grow strong and capable. If life has no difficulties, we will become weak and helpless.

Things on my mind

2004-07-30T14:13:00.000+08:00

Dear 1/1...
I am very sadden when i found out our classmates valuables is stolen by our own class people.
I am also very sadden when as a class, without any evidence , many pointed their fingers at Ian. I know that each of you are trying to be helpful, but we have to be careful as the culprit may use Ian to take the blame. I appeal to everyone to act in a just and fair manner. Spare a thought for others before jumping into any groundless conclusion.
I also apeal to everyone to not to take things that do not belong to you, do not accuse or suggest anything without any clue or evidence. Do help one another to take care each other's belonging. Do all you can to keep your valuables away from all potential danger, do not tempt the thief.

ur saddened form teacher :(
