I learned about future activities and the different types of telescopes.
9/3/22
I learnt about the creation of the universe and theories about the end of it.
The most interesting topic I've learnt about today is the death of these celestial bodies.
I liked the progression of the universe from the beginning of it to the end.
23/3/22
I learnt about the Habitable Zone, the Fermi Paradox, the Drake Equation, the Dark Forest Theory and the Seager equation. I could use this in conversations with my friends. We could have watched more videos on the topic. I would like to learn more about black holes, how they are formed, what they are, etc...
30/3/22
I learnt about the parts of black holes, the types of black holes and theories such as Hawking Radiation, Wormholes, White Holes and Spaghettification. I could use this in my conversation with friends. We could have watched more videos on the topic. I would like to learn more about the formation of constellations in the future.
6/4/22
I learnt about different exoplanets, what exoplanets are, who Carl Sagan is and his contributions and different ways to find exoplanets. I could use this when I want to flex🆒. I wish there were more time on each slide, since I could not take some down. I would like to learn about the contributions of people to the study of astronomy.
20/4/22
I learnt about rovers, their parts, their power source, the 7 minutes of terror, and some significant rovers. I could use this when i study next time to be more relevant. There could be less slides. We want SFS or KSP.
4/5/22

I learnt how to play KSP. Very fun.
18/5/22
I learnt about constellations, asterisms, examples of constellations such as Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Ophiuchus, and Orion. The presentation could be better if it was more interactive.
29/6/22
I learnt about 21st Century discoveries, including gravitational waves, Enceladus, cryovolcanoes, the sounds of Mars, Exoplanets, Black Holes, Magnetars, and LIGO. The lesson was informative since there were a lot of subjects learned today, and I understood the topics taught. It could have been better if there were more videos.
6/7/22
I learnt about what astronauts eat in space, where astronauts get their food, what the criterias are for food and the different classes of food which are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals and water. The lesson was easy to follow, as I could write down the key learning points easily. It could have been better if there was more time to do the activities.
13/7/22
I learnt about lift and drag. The lesson was fun as we were able to see demonstrations of KSP. It could have been better if we all could have gotten KSP. The videos were informative and easy to understand, and the topics brought up can be understood easily.
20/7/22
I learnt about Protostars, Main Sequence Stars, Red Giants, and White Dwarfs. The lesson was informative and easy to understand, as they followed up the learning with a video on most of the topics. It could have been better if they had expanded on the examples more.
17/8/22
I learnt about General Relativity, Special Relativity, Time dilation, exceptions to General Relativity and some paradoxes. The lesson was informative, as they had multiple videos to show us, and the topics were well taught. It could have been better if there were more elaboration.
24/8/22
Today, I learnt about Deep Sky Objects, New General Catalogue, Messier, Types of Nebulae and Galaxies. What could be improved about the lesson could be more time to research on our selected deep sky object. I could apply this knowledge when I would like to see and identify these deep sky objects when observing the sky.
31/8/22
Today, we learnt about presentation skills and presented in front of the whole cohort. I feel that I would like to present to the cohort on a termly basis, as I feel that it could help with our presentation skills.
14/9/22
Today, I learnt about future activities such as the Rocket Program and the Dome Program, and also have learnt about future competitions and overseas learning journeys for the future Secondary 3s and 4s. I would like to sign up for the Dome Program.
18/1/23
Today, I learnt how to build a rocket in KSP and the controls. I also learnt that KSP was an open world RPG game. I also went into orbit.
15/2/23
Today, I made a star chart with my teammates. Also, I learnt what a celestial sphere and a sextant was. It was fun making the star chart with my teammates.
22/2/23
Today, we played KSP and learnt about aliens. I learnt about the Fermi Paradox in today's lesson.
8/3/23
We learnt that space exploration is dangerous and that astronauts should check for any abnormalities in the spaceship. A danger of space exploration is space debris.
22/3/23
I'm not gonna sugarcoat this! Today was an amazing and exciting and fear-invoking experience. The learning of such a profound and abstract topic messed with the inner functions of my brain. The most sagacious topic that has grazed the inner machinations of my mind. The knowledge of such a heartfelt, overpowering and touching presentation that provides me with the urge and feel to crawl up in a ball and wallow in my misery. i learnt about the solar system. I hope to be furthered by this life-changing experience, changed to be a better man for the betterment of society.
5/4/23
We learnt about constellations, what they are, and examples of it. We also were able to view videos. We also were able to make a presentation on a constellation of our given choice. It was very interesting and insightful. The presenters could have given more substance in the presentation as I felt that the content was too little.
19/4/23
Today, we learnt about the different types of stars, including Red Dwarfs, White Dwarfs, Black Dwarfs, Brown Dwarfs, Red Supergiants, Low Mass Stars, Hypergiants, Neutron Stars, which include Magnetars and Pulsars, and Supernova Remnants, which include Crab-Like, Shell-Type, and Composites, which can be thermal or plerionic. We also learnt about Black Holes, Type II Supernovae, Protostars, and Molecular Clouds. I feel that the presentation could be slower as it finished quicker than normal.
26/4/23
Today, we learnt the history of the universe. the presenters were quite gr cause i didnt get my oreo😡
3/5/23
My viewpoint on the world revolutionarily changed so much due to this heartwarming rollercoaster of emotions. This space exploration has opened my third eye and made me look at the people around me with an objective look and more emotions. The story, the plot of this lecture is that we should never give up under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The knowledge of all these exploratory methods have enlightened me. Taught me. The space race has encouraged me to be more competitive and have a more competitive view in life. Their determination to beat and overcome their rivals have inspired me.
17/5/23
Today we learnt about Exoplanets and how to detect them. The presentation was quite good as the pacing allowed us to all be able to take down notes in time. However, the presentation could be improved by adding more videos.
5/7/23
Today's session was flabbergasting. It was incredibly content-filled. First, we had a presentation on super-structures, including Dyson Spheres, Skyhooks, ISV Venture Ship, and Space X Rocket Catch chopstick thingy. Afterwards, we moved our asses to the Seminar Room to listen to some random people talk about their experiences. I think it would have been better if the presenter had expanded on their topics.
26/7/23
Today's session was incredibly nerve-wrecking. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The content was incredibly fulfilling, and I learnt so much from this lesson. We learnt about the history of the planets and superstitous beliefs surrounding celestial objects. It could have been improved if there was a Kahoot! quiz to look forward to and give us the motivation to listen to the lesson.
2/8/23
Today and yesterday, we attended 2 talks on satellites and volcanoes. The talks were incredibly informative and I learnt a lot from them. There was also a Q&A section to clarify our doubts. All in all, the talks taught us about space hazards and how satellites can be used to mitigate them, and the different types of volcanoes and their effects and were sensational.
16/8/23
Today I learnt about asteroids, meteoroids, meteorites, meteors, the area of california, and asteroid belts. The talks were incredibly insightful and profound in nature. In a nutshell, I was able to attain enlightenment through these talks. However, I feel the content was a bit lacking as there were 2 presentations on different topics.
23/8/23
Today I learnt about orbit systems, the three Kepler's laws, astrophysics, general and special relativity. This lesson was incredibly fun as we were able to use a website to simulate orbit systems. It could be improved by giving a clearer explanation as I did not fully understand the subjects.
10/1/24
Today, I did water rockets and watched some dudes build a telescope. This lesson was incredibly informative and original and I would enjoy it more if the slides were more entertaining.
17/1/24
we learnt about black holes and keplers laws. I really liked that there were multiple presentations.
24/1/24
we played ksp and listened to presenters talk about the planets in our solar system. One criticism I had about today's lesson was that there were too many disruptions in the lesson. However, I liked that the lesson was easy to follow. today was a decent day all in all a 67/💯 day would recommend
31/1/24

17/4/24
today we learned about binary star systems, how they are formed, how they evolve, their properties, peculiar binary star systems, roche lobe, types of binary star systems and observational methods. There was quite a bit of material to digest and write down. I liked that this lecture was informative and set checkpoints to see whether we listened. Therefore, I would rate today a solid 56/💯
24/4/24
today we learnt about rockets and played ksp. it was a pretty basic session, really fun tho. it was really cool that they waited for us to stop talking before continuing for 100% viewer retention rate. I would rate today a COLD 84/💯🥶and give a 15% gratuity tip.
8/5/24
today we learned about em waves, yeah. this was quite cool as we learned about cool stuff which includes stuff we learned. waves we learned were radio waves, light, gamma waves, x-ray waves. it was so cool when they pulled out their long and black radios. i would rate tdy a pretty cool🥶🥶90/💯
15/5/24
today we learned about exoplanets. We learned about the techniques to discover exoplanets, exoplanet classifications and examples. Afterwards, we did a blooket(which sucked) overall 32/💯, without blooket 78/💯
26/6/24
today there were a bunch of reflections and a lecture on orbital mechanics and watched a video glazing kepler. we learned about keplers law and the hohmann transfer, and kepler's discoveries. I can apply what I learned today in competitions. today was an overall 84/💯
10/7/24
today there was a presentation on future astro activities. We also learned about accretion disks, accretion spheres, centrifugal force and angular momentum conservation. In another presentation, we also learned about interstellar mediums. I can use what I have learnt today in competitions. 54/💯
17/7/24
today we listened to Mr Tan, a presentation on the planets in our solar system and played KSP. This lesson could be improved if the presentations were more interesting. This lesson constitutes a part of basic astronomy and can help us expand our knowledge. An activity that I would look forward to is one about the parts of a rocket. 45/💯
7/8/24
today we listened to a presentation on Milky way and the Sun. This lesson was quite informative as it covers a lot of content about the sun, namely sunspots, solar flares, solar prominences, its formation and death, etc. I can apply what I learned today in competitions. (2/3)/💯
14/8/24
today we did some circuit challenge thingy and learned about star formations. This lesson let us try to design circuits that are essential in rockets, and also we learned important topics related to star formation such as accretion, H-R diagram, etc. This lesson let us learn by doing and we developed critical thinking that can be used in many other on-the-spot situations. 71/💯
12/2/25
today we did a group presentation, then learned about cratered worlds, which was really interesting. Afterwards, we had a blooket test to test our understanding. The session could have been improved if it was less rushed. 100/💯
19/2/25
1.What was the main objective of the experiment?
to make a papercraft spectrometer
2.What happens when you point at different light sources (e.g., sunlight, bulb, LED)?
FOr fluorescent light, the spectrum had bright emission lines at specific points, rather than a continuous spread of colours.
3.What improvements would you make to obtain clearer spectra?
Doing it in a darker environment
26/2/25
We had a talk on space weather by a NASA scientist. Having a real professional give his takes and share his knowledge was really eye-opening. It was an enriching experience that inspired me greatly.
