PBL Hall Presentation Day 17/18

PBL Hall Presentation Day 17/18 was successfully held on 6 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 investigating the potato as a potential therapeutic drug against cancer, testing the possibility of using microbes to make textile materials and evaluating the use of grapefruit skin to make phone case and blue-blocking lenses for their effectiveness in protecting the eyes), as well as projects on humanities topics (such as the role of 24 solar terms in farming activities, the study on the provision of service and facilities to cater for the needs of the elderly living in Siu Sai Wan and the use of grapefruit skin to make phone case). Our School’s Associate Science Educator Dr Lau Kai-shui, Assistant Principal Kwok Yih-feng 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 and Best Science Award is group E1, ‘The potato: A potential therapeutic drug against cancer?’. The champion of Humanities category and first runner-up of Best Project Award is group D1, ‘From traditional wisdom to modern knowledge: The role of 24 solar terms in farming activities’.  Group E4 was awarded the Best Presentation Award.
