Day 4 - 9: Science Exhibitions

Like Project L.O.V.E 2007, we decided to continue with this activity as it will really benefit the students; to gain their interests in science. Unlike Singapore schools, in Cambodia, there are not science laboratories for the students to practise and visualise their science theories.

We carried 2 science exhibitions out in Baray Primary School and Baray High School on Day 7 & 8 respectively.
This year, we had planned several exciting and useful experiments:

Water Rocket Launcher (the highlight of the Science Exhibition)

Buzz Wire

Optical Illusions

ElectronStatic Balloons

Automated Boat

Suckling Plate

Orange Sparks

Water Fireworks

Anti-Gravity

Cartesian Diver

Siphon

Non-Bursting Balloon

Writing without ink!

Let's see how they go...
