Good one!

Alkaline metals

2010-04-10T16:01:00.003+08:00

The alkali metals, found in group 1 of the periodic table are very reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature.

These metals have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements.

The alkali metals are softer than most other metals.

Cesium and francium are the most reactive elements in this group. Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.

The Alkali Metals are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium.

Viscosity

2010-02-28T15:25:00.003+08:00

We should have the Science Center guys make some of this for public entertainment.
Start a competition for the longest run on it will make it into a big hit, maybe even into the national sport!

Catching Cold

2010-02-21T13:46:00.000+08:00

Although whats been said on the video about catching the flu bug and not the cold is right,
It has been shown that exposure to cold temperatures does slow blood circulation and in turn lowers the immune system's response to viruses.

Miracle Fruit

2010-02-06T17:03:00.002+08:00

Scary....... stuff.

Stay away from all sorts of substance abuse.

Inattentive Blindness

2009-10-24T17:06:00.002+08:00

Humm......

Reminds me of a disturbing thought on
the similarity between humans plaguing the Earth
and cancer cells destroying our bodies.

A global EM song made by Singapore science teachers

2009-09-25T21:14:00.001+08:00

Hey all,

below is a EM song done by two Singapore science teachers. It was uploaded onto youtube and watched / sang in classrooms around the world now. The comments on youtube are all praises. View it!

MIT Physics Course Introduction

2009-09-21T21:28:00.000+08:00

I just downloaded this whole Physics course from MIT and it's really very interesting! The internet has really made the world a smaller and more accessible place. MIT is a top university in the world and now their lectures are all available for everyone who do not go there to view and learn. This takes learning without boundaries to a whole new standard.

Will be posting up videos from the lecture series in the near future. In the meantime, do take time to listen to the introduction by Dr Walter Lewin.

Genetically Modified

2009-09-19T16:08:00.000+08:00

In fact, much of our food we consume daily has been GM.

Rice for example is mostly GM, and farmers have been doing it since the dawn of agriculture.

Farmers cross pollinate domestic rice with wild rice to reproduce certain genetic characteristic in them, for eg, the fragrance and resistance to certain pests.

Good or bad?
I guess its up to individual tastes and preferences.

CO2

2009-09-19T15:59:00.001+08:00

Wow! great fact.

Wonder if there are more trees in the world than there are humans.

Thermite vs propane

2009-09-02T20:11:00.000+08:00

It something about chemistry .This experiment is conducted by gas cylinder ,with high pressure and highly falmmeable gsa, thermite(mixtures of iron sulphate and aluminium). So watch this and gain some knowledge ok.

Electric fence

By 302 students....HAHAS

Clip taken from UK Show, Brainiac, Season 1 Episode 4.
Electric Fence Experiment

Richard Hammond shows the Brainiacs how fun Electricity can be.

Also, yes, if you are in the air when the electricity goes through, you don't get a shock. You don't get shocked if the circuit (box to fence to person to ground to box) doesn't complete.

On top of that, the end where he ALMOST shakes Hammond's hand, he doesn't. Also, the slight gap in time between feet hitting ground and the shock can be attributed to the 1-2 second delay caused by the fence not being constantly on.

Good laugh. Simply love the guy with the sparkle.

Liquid Nitrogen

2009-08-15T08:32:00.000+08:00

Very Low boiling point of nitrogen means that it's boiling at room temperature.

Therefore, it'll rapid change its state and increase its volume.

Chocolates & Pimples

Foaming Toilet

2009-08-07T14:54:00.000+08:00

Not a good trick. Surely not funny when your parents come home to see it.

Shape memory

2009-08-07T14:42:00.000+08:00

From Wikipedia,

A shape memory alloy (SMA, also known as a smart metal, memory alloy, or muscle wire) is an alloy that "remembers" its shape, and can be returned to that shape after being deformed, by applying heat to the alloy.

Reading

2009-08-01T08:48:00.000+08:00

Interesting! Do you know how it is done?

2009-07-29T07:30:00.000+08:00

Fantastic video! Saw this on someone's tweet and was amazed at how they did it...

The answer is very simple. Seriously very simple.

But the preparation is very complex.

Let us know if you know the answer.

Sec 3 Science Project 2009!

2009-07-20T11:30:00.000+08:00

Yeah! It's the annual Pythagoras' Switch Project. I am beginning to look forward to this project as the students ideas are becoming more and more innovative as the years proceed. My aim to be able to flood youtube with the students' videos this year and hopefully come up with some ideas for TKK Young Inventors' award!

And finally one project from last year!

Have fun!

Definitely must try this at home! Pressure is a new topic that is added to the syllabus of Combined Science(Phy/Chem) and it is interesting to note that the value of atmospheric pressure is 100 000 Pa! That is a super huge number and it means the force per unit area is 100 000 N! That is an equivalent of 10 000 kg object sitting in 1 square metre of area!
