AS WE inch closer to Graduation Day, one of the concerns of graduating students is choosing a song to best remember their school life by. Sometimes, students are caught in a dilemma of picking the right graduation song that the whole batch will like. When I was in kindergarten (1993), our graduation song was Yesterday’s Dream …

I asked for a Google Science Fair 2011 instructional materials last month so that I could relay the information to them and encourage them to participate. The package contains printed information about the Google Science Fair. I received posters, handouts, and stickers.

YOU MIGHT just be the brightest young scientist that Google is looking for! Google recently launched the Google Science Fair 2011 for kids all over the world who are full-time students and within 13-18 years old.

TODAY’S GENERATION may be aptly called the generation of social networking. Get inside any classroom and ask who among the students have an account on Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, Tumblr, Formspring, or Friendster, and behold a sea of hands raised in response.

Unbeknownst to many, the National Museum is also involved in scientific researches especially in botany and zoology. They do collection, classification, and preservation of plant and animal species, especially the ones that are endemic in Philippine provinces.

According to the Sensory Stimulation Theory, there is greater learning if the different senses are stimulated at the same time. That is why, we always have to use visual aids during lectures, why we make students simulate real-life physical phenomena in the laboratory, and a host of other teaching strategies wherein the students make us of their senses.
