FOR THE first time, the National Science and Mathematics Summit for Regional Science High Schools (RSHSs) and the National Science and Technology Fair are held side by side in the same venue with the theme, “Unleashing the Power of Scientific Minds.” The 3rd National Science and Mathematics Summit for 17 Regional…
An Afternoon at the Museum
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.
Active Learning in Optics and Photonics
WHAT I really like about teaching here at the Regional Science High School is that you get the chance to participate in a lot of seminars and workshops. This workshop, Active Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP), that I am attending now at the UP-NISMED is one of the many…

PhET: A Vast Resource for Science and Mathematics Teachers
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.

I would just like to share what I did five years ago during the sem break. Here it is:
Bibliarch opens in GenSan

Visit the shop at the 2nd Level Entrance, North Wing (J. Catolico St.) of KCC Mall of GenSan to see for yourself the wide array of books.
What the DepEd Should Look Into Before Changing the Curriculum
Addressing the manifestations does not completely solve the problems. Unless we scratch beneath the surface, the problems would keep coming back. Even an anti-fungal cream advertisement knows that.
