Hey guys!
There'll be a meeting this coming Friday (13/11) at the lab.
Please meet outside the lab by 12.30pm.
We'll be making RECYCLED PAPER out of used and unwanted papers. You can bring items if you want to mix it together with your recycled paper as we will be grinding all of it together.
Example: leaves, flowers, used papers and etc.
That's not all! The recycled paper produced will be used at an exhibition next month where high school students will be coming to HELP college to watch a play. So, we are given the opportunity to promote HESC club. Product of experiment will be used to decorate a tree made of mounting board.
Do your part as a member of HESC club and help us make lots of recycled papers to be used at the exhibition. See you guys on Friday! =)

Like El Nino
It's been a "practically" interesting week. Last Friday's meeting was held in Lab 3 where members get to conduct not one but TWO experiments.
The first experiment was to investigate the reason behind the rise in sea level from the melting of icebergs on the north pole. Some of you might think.. "of course rise lah! ice melts into water hence the sea level rise lah.." BUT if you think of it based onyour friggin logic! Archimedes Principles (physics) whereby it states that, an object displaces the volume of liquid equal to the weight of the object (just like ice cubes in a cup of water) don't you think it's weird how the melting of iceberg can raise the sea level? Have you ever seen anyone's cup of teh ais overflow when they left the ice to melt? So that's mystery no. 1 for us to solve.
No. 2 is the El Nino effect. Two food colouring dye (green/red) was provided to investigate the effect of the El Nino which is frequently happening on the surface ocean waters in the eastern tropical Pacific. It was messy but the result was incredible to watch. I accidentally bump into one of our members who was holding a cup of diluted red dye and he got some on his white sleeves while I escaped! So if that particular member is reading this, "sorry again! I hope it didn't stain.." =(
As mentioned in the meeting, there will be an Environmental Science Lab (Lab 3) Exhibition somewhere in Dec this year. There will be a few "environmental related" projects supervised by our lovely lecturers in groups. This exhibition is one of our major event so it would be a waste to miss out. If you are interested to participate and gain precious experiences, please let us know as soon as possible as places are limited and selling fast!
Just by looking at the pics you can tell how well our members participated in the experiments. Attendance was good but let's raise the head count on our next meeting, aight? Our meetings are usually once a fortnight so I don't think it's too troublesome for anyone. Try to drag along any long lost members, new members are ALWAYS welcome!
Btw.. We have a chatter box.. Can someone say something?!
"Lonely.. I'm so lonely.. All by my own.."
