PBL Hall Presentation Day 14/15
PBL Hall Presentation Day 14/15 was successfully held on 12th March. Themed "Care for the World" this year, it was a whole-day event, with all twenty-five PBL groups delivering presentations on their projects, sharing their new discoveries with parents, teachers and their S.2 schoolmates. Students demonstrated high level of confidence, collaboration and presentation skills on stage along with their thorough understanding of their research work. A number of parents attended the event to show their support and encouragement to their children as well as the S.2 students.
The twenty-five project groups carried out investigations into solutions to health and environmental issues (such as the use of natural resources in replacement of chemicals to make hair dye and the use of banana peels or used cooking oil to generate energy sources), as well as projects on humanities topics (such as the study on Hong Kong Geopark, food waste management and organic vegetables). Dr Lau Kai-shui and Ms Chan Hoi-kei demanded students' immediate oral defence on their projects by asking challenging questions to the groups.
This year, project groups' efforts were acknowledged on various categories. The champion of Best Project Award, as well as Best Presentation and Best Science Award is group A4, 'Going bananas for bioethanol…peeling away at sustainability'. The champion of Humanities category and first runner-up of Best Project Award is group E4, 'Vegetables labelled as 'organic': really better and worthy?'. Groups D1 and A1 were awarded the second runner-up and the third runner-up of Best Project Award. Detailed results are as follows:
