I learnt about the different types of telescopes used in CCA and what competitions/activities we will be taking part in. I also got to know the seniors and teachers a bit better and which labs CCA takes place in.
9/3/2022
I learnt about Stars, the Moon, the Sun and the Black Hole. I leant about what can happen in the universe when someones blinks. I liked the part where there was a timelapse on the process of the different things happening in space. Not only that, I liked the part where we learnt the types of Stars.

I learnt about the possibilities of life elsewhere. I also learnt about the drake and seager equations. I learnt about the different components under habitability and fermi-paradox. I know have more knowledge about the goldilocks zone and the great filter. I think that the lesson was very interesting and fun. I think that the explanation of the equations can be more accurate. I want to learn about the blackhole in future.

30/3/2022
I learnt about what black holes were, the parts in a black hole and other interesting things in the galaxy such as wormholes and the 4 types of black holes. Things like how black holes form and evaporate was also taught. I now have more knowledge of black holes and the other theories about them. The lesson was engaging and the senior was very good at explaining the topics and showed some nice pictures that made the lesson easily understandable. I want to learn about asteroids in the future and todays lesson does not need to be improved.

I learnt about what exoplanets are, the different types of them and how they got discovered. I also learnt how to detect a exoplanet. Now I know that there are other planets outside the solar system. I think that the presenter could have gone through the slides slower and maybe wait for us to finish typing in our notes.

I learnt about rovers, the different parts and how to build one. Now I know the point of rovers and the different types of them. I think that this lesson was very fun and engaging. I would like to discover more about rovers in the future.

27/4/2022
I learnt about the space flight simulator, which are the main keys and how I can benefit from using it. Now I have a rough idea on how a rocket flies and the different components under it. I learned about KSP and how to get a rocket into orbit. I overall enjoyed the lesson because I learnt many new things.

4/4/2022
I learnt about satellites and the different types. We did a kahoot quiz to test what we had learnt today. We used SFS to build a satellite and make it go into orbit. I think that today's lesson can be improved by doing other activities on other platforms. I overall had a good lesson today.

11/5/2022
I learnt how to fly planes and use rovers in KSP. We had an enjoyable time seeing everyone crash the plane and make it do a 360 degree turn. The thing that could have been better is that the commands to use KSP was not taught clearly before. So many people did not know how to use it.

18/5/2022
I learnt about constellations, the different types of them and their uses. I enjoyed listening to the stories of how certain constellations like Orion was formed and also loved the Kahoot game we played today. Especially because I was 2nd place! Today's lesson can be improved if the presenters showed us more interesting videos.

I learnt about the many different astronomical discoveries and looked deeper into each on of them. Although we have learnt about the most of them, I still got to know other facts and watch a lot of videos that helped with my understanding. I think the session can be improved by makinthe presentation was too wordy and took very long for us to type our notes.

I learnt about what astronauts eat when they are in space. The videos shown during the session was interesting and I also enjoyed the activity a lot. I am glad that i was able to gain knowledge in this topic. I think more explanations could have been done to improve this session.

I learnt what drag and lift were. The videos were engaging and we were able to gain knowledge about aerodynamics. I think that this lesson can be improved by having more slides to explain more about aerodynamics instead of watching a lengthy video.
20/72022
We learnt about the stellar evolution and white dwarfs. I found the lesson very enjoyable. However, I wish the points mentioned were put in the slides so that I could copy them down.

We continued the lesson on stellar evolution and I was very fascinated by the discoveries people made related to this topic. I also enjoyed watching the videos shown. I wish there were more videos so that we could properly understand the concept of neutron stars.

17/8/2022
We learnt about general relativity and special relativity. We learnt more about twin paradox, time dilation and thought experiments. I think I enjoyed learning something that is different than usual. However, the presenter's slides were too wordy so it was a bit difficulty to understand at times.

24/8/2022
We learnt about the different deep sky objects. The lesson was fun along with the activity. I think that can this presentation can be improved by presenters talking a bit slower. I want to learn about the separate galaxies and learn more fun facts about them.

31/8/2022
We learnt about how to present properly and professionally. I feel that it is a good opportunity to show our presentation skills. I feel confident to present from now on. I need to speak to louder. I must have PVLEGS.

Mr Tan went through some important information such as competitions and upcoming field trips. He shared with us where the 2023 sec 3s and sec 4s can travel and I was really interested in listening to it.

my one disappear somehow
11/1/2023
We downloaded KSP and launched a rocket to the moon. Mr tan gave us a briefing about some challenges and our new astro t-shirt.
18/1/2023
We went inside KSP and launched a rocket into orbit. It was fun to work as a group.
8/3/2023
We watched a movie called "Gravity". Honestly, this movie had very unrealistic events like all other sci-fi movies. However, I learnt that space is filled with unexpected events and the astronauts should always be prepared for such things. I want to watch more movies like this though.
22/3/2023
I learnt about the solar system and totally gained so much new knowledge from this. We also played Kahoot and I honestly did quite well. I think that the presenter including jokes in their presentation is funny but too much of it becomes a bit distracting.

We learnt about rockets and the different types. There were too many videos and the slides were not elaborated enough.

19/4/2023
We learnt about stellar evolution and more about the different dwarfs. It was a good lesson but too many videos and a presentation on the same topic has been done before, so it was less interesting.

We learnt that rockets are fun. We learnt about rovers, Jupiter and Mars.

28/6/2023
We played KSP. It was fun because we learnt how to build a plane.
5/7/2023
We learnt about space super structures. The lesson was enlightening for us. I would prefer if they were lesser videos and more verbal explanation because I do not understand the topic.

I enjoyed the talk by Dr Rosaly Lopes. I found her talk interesting and helpful and think that the topics she researches on is amusing. I hope to find out more about her work and possibly meet her again.

We learnt about asteroids and I think that the video was engaging. The presenters need to be slower.

23/8/2023
We looked into the different chapters of astrophysics which really interested me.
17/1/2024
We learnt about black holes, celestial mechanics and did Kahoot quizzes.
24/1/2024
We learnt about the solar system, watched a video and also launched a rocket in KSP.
31/1/2024
Today was so fun learning about telescopes, and then the chair person decided to be sarcastic to me, by saying that my answer was sooo amazing and I could tell that he was just being sarcastic because he has beef with me and he is bored.
7/2/2024
Today we learnt about general relativity, watched videos and playe Kahoot. It was ok but a bit boring.

17/4/2024
Today there was a lesson on Kerbal Space Programme, and it was interesting. We learnt about how to use the differnet controls in the programme and how it can be applied to the various different space crafts.
26/6/2024
We learnt about the BBCC outreach experience, the port dickson trip (I presented with Hau yee). We also learnt about what some students did at the Astro challenge. There was a presentation on orbital mechanics. The main things in it were Kepler's 3 laws.
14/8/2024
I arrived to CCA late because of english oral, but I presented a bit on stellar evolution.
21/8/2024
We did fox hunting (aka radio astronomy). It was fun as we had to try to find four transmitters across level 1 and 2 of the school. Mr Tan taught us thing about radio astronomy such as frequency etc. We tried using the radio in the ADMT studio. Overall, fun activity.
