Science Club

What’s cooking in the NSC Science Club?

Ecological expeditions in the grass, investigations of sound and learning about the senses – all these and more made up the wealth of hands-on experiences of Science Club members over the 2009/2010 academic year. The young science stars are always busy at work, exploring science as individuals and teams in their Saturday morning club sessions.

Last term, the Science Club members were up to their elbows in the Solar System, kicking off the Club’s activities in a celebration of World Space Week. The fun kept rolling on, as members got into gear for a super “Christmas at the Science Centre” pageant in December.

The NSC Science Club started in January 2001 and was initially intended for children 11 to 15 years. However, from the first meeting, members were accompanied by their younger siblings. The club has since grown from 35 to 85 active members. Its main aims are to:

  • foster and improve members’ understanding of Science and Technology; and

  • provide the Centre with ready access to a pool of young, talented individuals who add value to the various activities that the Centre offers.

Science Club meetings are held for two hours on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month during the school term. . The club now comprises four age groups ranging in age from 9 years to 16 years.
The Science Club attempts to achieve the objectives of the Ministry of Education’s Science Syllabi with fun and interactive workshops.

Themes already addressed this year included: “Amazing Magnets”, “Exploring the 5 Senses”, “Day and Night Cycles”, “Our Local Biodiversity”, “Investigating Sound”, and “Organ Systems”. At the end of the semester, a re-cap of topics in the form of a grand ‘jeopardy’-styled game show involved all members. It’s always a fun time with the Science Club!

Limited space is available for students between the ages of 11 and 15 years. Come join the club and have a fun experience with science!
