Science Club
2024 marked another year filled with exciting and enriching activities , as Science Club continues to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and learning within the school community . Carrying on the tradition of conducting unique experiments , members had the opportunity to plan and conduct electroplating reactions , allowing them to develop key laboratory skills and practices , as well as introducing them to potential industrial applications of their knowledge .
Additionally , the Club actively encourages exploration beyond the syllabus through dedicated member sharing sessions on various reactions , such as the Belousov- Zhabotinsky reaction , an oscillating reaction with variable periods , or on the production of carbon nanoparticles , which have found use in cancer treatment . On the side of Physics , members have presented on the ever important alternating to direct current conversion through the use of capacitors , providing communities with the electricity that runs the world . These sharing Club sessions promote discussion and collaboration between members , effectively simulating a real-life scientific environment for their experience .
innovative applications of concepts to solve them . This also has the added benefit of granting first-hand experience and greater familiarity in laboratory procedures , as well as the use of chemicals such as buffer solutions that require higher application of members ’ knowledge .
Aside from practical experiments and theoretical sharings , the Club also hopes to deepen our connection with the scientific community outside of school . Through conducting experiments , we aspire to expose the youth to the global scientific landscape by looking at research papers and forums .
SJI Science Club is excited to build on its legacy of fostering curiosity , promoting collaboration , and creating a lasting impact for both our members and the world of Science .
Members commemorate a successful Traffic Light reaction demonstration
Science Club hopes to continue its mission of engaging the community with even more fun and enriching experiences in scientific learning , beyond the confines of the classroom . This includes intriguing experiments , such as the Laminar Flow and Traffic Light reaction demonstrations , which aim to expose members to real-world problems and to the
