Senior STE students garner awards in SciFair ‘22

Students of 10-Archimedes raised the flag of the SJCNHS as they secured places at the Regional Science and Technology Fair held virtually, which concluded on July 14, 2022.

Zander Oliver De Guzman, a former student from Grade 10-Archimedes, expressed gratitude and shared his insights as they won 4th place in the #STEMTokperiment for junior high school categor. Along with De Guzman were Aliah Ayriz S. Jimenez and Jemima E. Pagad. Their coach in the said competition was May R. Salvador.

He mentioned that they came up with the Wind Turbine Generator to be the focus of their experiment because it is easy and efficient for them because last 2020, they were caught up with the pandemic and it would be a huge help for them as they use electricity for their education.

“We have many preparations, especially when we were looking for the materials that we used, and the time that we used for shooting the video and editing, because we have given at least a week to work for the video.” De Guzman said.

He added that he enjoyed shooting the TikTok video because of the thrill of being able to share things especially that they were in the middle of the crisis back then. He also said that it was a fun shoot because they have made a good work together with the coaches and his and formative assessments, although he still needs to give them further review to see how they could be improved and contextualized.

He found it convenient to produce a ten-item test in a matter of six minutes. With AI chatbots, he can perform an hour of work within a short time, and he found it beneficial, especially for his students.

But there are also downsides to friends who helped him with the video.

Meanwhile, Achillez Marcus M. Cajayon, together with Shun Aei DG Nishitomi and Arvin Miguel T. Eugenio, represented SJCNHS in the Siyensikula category. Their coach was Hazel J. Pedro. Nishitomi, Cajayon, and Eugenio were students from grade 10-Archimedes. They

“At first, noong binigay sa’min yung project, we were uncertain about our approach. We were clueless kung paano ang mechanics, but after some time watching sample videos, a member of ours found a way in which our team would stand out.

OKD aimed to provide local directions and possibilities for OK sa DepEd and its six flagship programs.

A SOILLESS SOLUTION Exploring City High’s Hydroponics Facility

To achieve a goal, one must cultivate ideas and work towards growth.

That is probably what Science teachers Michelle Domingo and Justine Salamanca had in mind when they decided to lead the redevelopment of the hydroponics facility in San Jose City National High School.

WHAT IS HYDROPONICS?

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water, without soil (Savvas & Gruda, 2019).

In the 1930s, William Frederick Gericke discovered the modern Hydroponics System, which comprises seven types: the Kratky method, deep water culture, wick system, ebb and flow/ flood and drain, nutrient film technique, drip system, and aeroponics. Hydroponics systems use less water compared to traditional field crop watering methods. It is a more advanced technique for growing crops, as the water in the Hydroponic System is reused instead of being drained into the environment. The use of pesticides is also minimized, leading to a potential increase in productivity that benefits farmers. Instead of using soil, crops are grown in substrates or various inert

Division Kick-off of OKD will be held first, along with the six flagship programs; Adolescent Reproductive Health, School-Based Feeding Program, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in Schools, National Education Drug Program, School Mental Health, and Mental, Dental, and Nursing Services.

The week-long celebration focused on how OKD programs maintained healthy learning environments for students throughout the pandemic and beyond. All public schools are required to

Indeed, in-person classes improve mental health and well-being, academic performance and social skills. But how can schools ensure the safety of students and personnel in face-to-face classes from COVID-19?

Even if the government has allowed us to physically attend our classes, it cannot be denied that the virus is still around.

With that being said, following the school's protocol is still expected.

The school is good at creating policies to ensure COVID-safe face-
