Enlightening Experiments Science Knights 1 While Science Knights may seem like a large and arduous task to some, with proper preparation and inspiration from the past, this project can be a breeze. The sixth through eighth grade students who persevered know this better than anyone, as they learned this valuable lesson the hard way. When asked about her Science Knights experience, Gina Park said, “I am a new student here, so it took a while to get used to the challenge of Science Knights. But it was nice to have help from Jaime Suh, Clara Kim, and Christine Nam. I took inspiration for my project from a previous senior’s board.” When asked the same question, Kona Brumsick “I took inspiration from an experiment that I found online. I would have appreciated help from older students because I had no idea on how to do this at first. Looking at Jade Hughes’ board helped me a lot, so I think having advice from older students could really make this project go better.” le responded, While being visited by a parent, Woo Bin Cha explains his experiment. Woo Bin Cha chose to do his experiment on how flammable different kinds of wood are. He discovered that Red Pine is twopercent more flammable than oak. The experience may have been difficult, but the brave Lower Secondary students made it through the science fair, and they had plenty of advice to share on how to better tackle the project. Monica Park said, “The most important thing to know when doing Science Knights is to know your board, and how you want to do it. Science Knights can be a lot of fun if you choose a good project that you enjoy.” Next year, hopefully those who persevered through Science Knights will be able to provide the help they received from the Upper Secondary to lower classmen. 76 Lower Secondary GSIS Yearbook-LSS_Part 2.indd 76 10 YEARS of Science Knights Best of Show from every year 2010 Amy Ahn The Effect of Hand cream on Skin Moisture 2011 Chan Min Sung and Kevin Lee Magnetic Growth: the effect of magnetic fields on plant growth and development 2012 Young Jin Song WANTED: Pure Water: Developing methods to purify contaminated water 4/17/16 6:03 PM
