Family Day 2014 in the Science labs

To Oak House School family day 2014!!!

Have you been to the Science labs yet?

Look at the Torre and look right and there we are! Come and see us!

In Drosophila, on the right, we have work that has been presented by our 1st and 2nd ESO students, both in their Science classes and their enrichment afternoons. Also lots of cool experiments for you to try, even the Van der Graaf (shocking!)

In Gaudí, in the middle, we have robots, models, bridges and bizarre applications of physics. This is work presented by 2nd ESO and 4th ESO technology and 4th ESO Physics students.

On the right we have Marie Curie. Outside, where it's hopefully shady, you will find the poster presentations for the first ever Oak House School Science Fair. Have a look, decide the winner and learn some cool Science. Inside you will discover lots of things to interact with and to learn from. Also there will be demonstration experiments every half an hour as follows:

Time	Demonstration
10:30	Exploding bubbles
11:00	Electrostatics
12:00	Burning Money
12:30	Flour bomb
13:00	Volcano

Come and see us, have a chat and see some Science!!

I SIMPOSIUM DE BIOLOGIA A OAKHOUSE The videos

As you know, (if you have been reading this blog), our dedicated Biology students in second Bachillerato held the first ever Biology symposium here in Oak House School. The purpose of this symposium was to give the students a taste of Scientific academia outside of the confines of the school. To see how the other (scientific) half lived.

We were very lucky to have with us, three esteemed members of the Scientific community talking about three distinctly different things. These talks were videod (thanks Dani) and are now available at these links.

Juli Busquets MD, Transplant surgeon, Bellvitge University Hospital,

Michela Candotti Computational Biology, Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB)

Samuel Ojosnegros, PhD Bioimaging, Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG)

The students also created their own website which will give you more information about the symposium and a bio of the speakers. You can access that here.

Let's see what next year's crop of second Bach students can do!!!
By the way if you look closely you'll see me appear too!
Enjoy!

I SIMPOSIUM DE BIOLOGIA A OAKHOUSE

Èxit rotund de participació.

Donem les gràcies a tots aquells que ens han recolzat, ajudat i col·laborat en el nostre projecte:

 En primer  lloc a l’escola per permetre dur a terme iniciatives que permeten a l’alumnat créixer i obrir altres perspectives com treballar en equip, desenvolupar habilitats organitzatives, artístiques, socials, comunicatives, etc... i al professorat per treballar colze a colze amb ments joves, fresques i molt potents.

Als conferenciants pel seu temps, interès i coneixements.

A la clínica Planes per la seva aportació que ha fet possible econòmicament el projecte.

A tots els membres de l’escola que amb el seu gra de sorra han fet possible que tot sortís rodó.

A Yago Ayesta per la seva col·laboració en la producció de materials.

I per descomptat als assistents, sense ells no hauria tingut sentit la nostra tasca.

Desitgem  que hagueu gaudit tant com nosaltres d’aquesta oportunitat única i esperem poder-ho repetir molt aviat .
