| Anyone love science? |
When it comes to science, I always can
relate it to microscope, Bunsen burner, test tube and etc. I have to admit I
got C5 for Physics, perhaps all the while I asleep while my teacher busy
explained Physics concepts and so on ..Pftt…(at least I know my strength in Maths & Accounts)
I received invitation from Hana of Little
Scientist for 1st Parenting Workshop with Bloggers, I just know that
it will be good idea for me to encourage and giving an early exposure to
science to my kids. Haha but before went
to this Little Scientist, I am not sure the kind of activities…because all the
while we only had “Simple Science in the Bathroom” – a.k.a teaching them float and sink (terapung dan tenggelam)
I thought to bring Alif as well, but I
afraid that I couldn’t handle two kids at the same time. Tried to asked husband
to join as well, but he said he willing to take care Alif. So ended up Alif not
joining (perhaps there will be next time). Both of us the last one to arrive, since there
was some misunderstanding the direction between me and husband .
So when we arrived, they already started
first activity. Oh ya we receive a box of Little Scientist kit for the
activities.

| Little Scientist Kit |
# 1 Activity – Red, Blue, and Yellow
This is simple but yet fun for the kids
(hmm I still wonder why all the while this never come across to my mind to try
it..pdhal ada la jugak guna water colour kat rumah)
They learned how to mix
red + yellow = orange,
blue + red = purple and
yellow + blue = green
So they get a chance to use test tube and
after that combine two pieces of transparent papers that have the
same effect as well
# 2 – Japanese ball
Inside the kit box, there is a flattened
paper ball with a small hole. Ms Ho asked us how to make the flattened ball
into a round ball..(hmm of course some of us just throw some ideas which none
of it correct )
Can a ball inflate when we hit it? It can! When
you hit the ball, you are allowing the air from atmosphere to be sucked inside
the ball. This is something called the Bernoulli’s principle.
Haha I thinks parent is the most excited
one when comes to this activity
 |
| Get ready.. |
 |
| After hitting the ball...see the final outcome |
# 3 – Air Bag
We are given with one giant Air-bags 8ft
long! Again at first we were asked to to blow it 20 times..Pfttt..semput mak
 |
| #tiuptiupsampaisemput...20 kali tiup penat weyh |
Can we filled in the bag with one blow? The answer is yes, with some little
technique we simply can fill in the air inside the air bag. This is the power
of air.
 |
| Can you imagine with one blow can fill up this giant bag?...Lepas tau rasa magiknya |
Giant Air-Bag teaches the fundamentals of
Bernoulli’s Principal, which explains all about air pressure and the way air
moves and acts.
Ms Ho also touched on Islamic Science
(cthnya kita tahun Tuhan (Allah) itu ada, tapi tak nampak dengan mata..sama juga
seperti udara yg kita tahu ada tapi tak nampak…) see just a simple thing which
sometimes we tend to ignore.
In between of the activities, there was
some slides presentation about Little Scientist.
Little Scientist founded by Ms Ho with a
vision “To inspire Every Child to Love Science”.
Since 2002, the programme has been adopted
by hundreds of kindergartens with thousands of children benefiting from it (To
date about 450 kindergartens and still counting used their programme eg
Brainybunch, Dzul Iman)
Last but not least, group picture (#iisexcited-sbb-ada-blogger-glamer-tau-youalls). Mcm Ayuni kita saling2 baca blog...baru ni first time jumpa
From left : Mior, Ben Ashaari, Mr Cheng, Ms Ho, Ayuni, myself and bringingupmummy (urmm forgot to ask her name)
Overall, it was really fun…Little Scientist
bring some fun to science (In fact sometimes never though simple things are
related to science!)
