Science Demo at IVY - Study for Interest

Have you ever had the realization that the world of science is full of wonder? Why does cola explode out of its bottle? How jumping rope can generate electricity? Extract DNA from strawberries and convert milk turninto the rainbow!

On April 22, 2017, the fifth scientific experiment exhibition of  Weihai IVY International School, students unveiled these incredible scientific experiments by group presentation. The instantly frozen water garden, colorful milk, goldenrain, DNA extraction from strawberries, electromagnetic train … the fascinating experiments dazzled both teachers and students.

Teachers at IVY emphasize the teaching of the scientific method. What is the scientific method I hear you say? The scientific method is the method that man uses to understand the unknown world. It is usually based on experiments to prove whether the human hypothesis is correct or invalid.

Theformulation of scientific experimentation is not just for a display of interesting phenomenon, but also for the teaching of formulaic equations and hands onexperience of proper laboratory procedure. Most importantly, the students andparents can actually feel the charm of science. Real knowledge is not how many formulas are remembered and how many data sheets are completed, but how much interest students can get from it. The students are more likely to aquire knowledge when they are studying for their true “interest”.
