* The word - Eureka was supposedly shouted by Archimedes when he stepped into a bathtub and the water level rose, thus discovering that volumes of irregular objects could be measured with precision.
The sabbatical aimed to teach students more about Science. The whole course was split into 3 modules - Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
On the first day, we had the Biology module. Our trainers were 2 secondary 4 students . We conducted many interesting experiments such as cooking a piece of liver and testing it. Also, the trainers were very friendly and provided help to us whenever we called for them.
On the second day and third day, we had the chemistry module. The chemistry module took 2 days because we had a lot more experiments. My personal favourite was using a type of chemical that could adsorb water to make "ice kacang". The chemical absorbed the water and turned into a slushy mix. We then added colouring to make it look even more real!
On the fourth day, we had physics. Physics was my personal favourite module. We tried many experiments. The most interesting one was using an orb charged with 1000 volts of electricity and causing a person's hair to stand. It was an interesting sight seeing other people "turning" into Albert Einstein.
On the last day, we had to do a presentation on artificial enzymes. My group, consisting of Ethan, Aloysius and Javier, split up the work and worked efficiently to get the research done. Unfortunately, we could not find the right information and we got into a rather big mess. Fortunately, the trainers were rather kind and forgave us for the bad research.
In conclusion, the sabbatical was rather interesting completed with kind trainers. Also, the experiments and lesson packages were interesting and the sabbatical was the right amount of time. I hope to be able to participate in this sabbatical some day again.
