Science Info Day

Last thursday I attended a science info day at UNSW. I meet M.V at Strathfield before travelling to the bus stop where we would meet everyone else who was attending from our school. We were the first ones to arrive and it took us quite some time to all gather up and catch the express bus to the university.

We had 4 sessions to attend to that day and one lunch break. My first 2 sessions were both lectures with Y.L and C.G where we sat in a lecture hall and listen to the teachers tell us about a certain course. In the second session, everyone participated in a demonstrate about Alleles and got free mentos (:P). Lunch was quite interesting we had a choice of chicken, beef, ham of vegetarian which where in a green box which was quite heavy when I picked it up. We were then able to pick one piece of fruit, chocolate and a packet of chips.

I thought it was weird cause I realised we didn't get any water but it seemed that we got a lot of food until I opened the box and found this:

Oh well it was still yummy just not enough to satisfy me however we were able to get seconds cause there were left overs. All of them where vegetarian but I still got one and it tasted ok and got another water which was cold. ^.^

The third sessions it was fun and quite interesting cause we went to the chemistry labs where we looked at 2 experiment where the solution they made changes colour over time. We were then also had an experiment we had to do which was to make biodiesel fuel and then test it by burning it. Since I had all my sessions with Y.L we teamed up with an extra guy who joined us to make it. Very interesting. (^.^) At the end of the session we got some freebies.

The last session, we were in a lecture half for most of the time and towards the end we went out to a telescope where we looked at the sun. It was hot standing under the sun but overall it was still and entertain time.

Though I am not to sure about going into a science course but it was fun learning what I am able to do if I decided to go down this path. Towards the end we also got some freebies before going home.

An interesting day overall. ^.^
