Physics-Integrated Science Unit, Pshswvc

The Physics-IS unit successfully conducted retraining on PASCO scientific equipment for science and research teachers. This initiative on digital integration enhances teacher competency and supports data-driven, hands-on learning in PSHSWVC science classrooms.

The Physics-IS Unit, represented by Dr. Era, Atty. William, Sir Jomel, and Sir Oliver, successfully conducted the "Tulong-Dunong" program at the SPED Training Center in Cadiz City. This initiative was made possible through the coordination efforts of Dr. Jovel L Oberio - EPS Science, Dr. Heide S.Hofilena - PSDS/SPED TC Supervisor, and Dr. Glenda D. Libertad SPED TC Head Teacher. The initiative engaged elementary pupils, teachers, and parents, providing valuable insights into Design Thinking, Science Investigatory Projects (SIP), and Disaster Preparedness and Response.

SCALE Volunteers, Renee NDLC, Samantha DA, Rafaella CG, Eneco JN, and Neal DP, led the NIR Cluster 6 "Tulong-Dunong" Program, held at the SPED Training Center in Cadiz City. This initiative successfully served approximately 150 elementary pupils, from Cadiz and Sagay City, and directly supporting the PSHS System's mission to identify future science and technology talents.

Final Day: 150 pupils flocked Tulong-Dunong: Cadiz City Cluster 6 paves way for the Next Generation of S&T Leaders.

The Physics-IS Unit and SCALE Volunteers in partnership with Division of Cadiz City DepEd Officials engaged elementary pupils aspiring to be the next batch of Pisay Scholars at SPED Training Center.

Last September 30, 2025, the Physics-Integrated Science Unit conducted a series of demonstrations at SPED-Integrated School for Exceptional Children as part of the school’s culminating event entitled “Science Unlocked: Fun Tricks and Demos.”

The activity sought to inspire elementary learners to cultivate a love for science through interactive demonstrations and experiments. Learners, along with their teachers, explored various scientific concepts through activities such as microscopy, acid–base indicators, basic circuits, earthquake simulators, baking soda and vinegar reactions, pressure experiments, and projectile motion demonstrations.

The Physics-Integrated Science Unit expresses its gratitude to Ma’am Cecilia Gapit, Science Coordinator, and Ma’am Astrid Haresco, School Principal, for their warm welcome and support in making the event possible.

This collaboration underscores the importance of making science accessible, engaging, and meaningful for young learners, nurturing their curiosity and passion for discovery. 🚀🌟

Today, October 9, students from Mission Valley School Iloilo explored the wonders of science through a laboratory tour and hands-on science concept demonstrations at Philippine Science High School-Western Visayas Campus.

They immersed themselves in exciting activities such as:
🔍 Microscopy explorations
🌈 Acid-base indicator experiments
🎈 Inflatable balloon demonstrations
🧲 Fun Physics tricks

We were also honored to be visited by Dr. Josette Biyo, who shared an inspirational message with the children and staff of Mission Valley School, encouraging them to keep their curiosity and love for learning alive. 🌟

The Physics-IS-ES unit was honored to host Mr. Paolo Barrios of Batch 2018, who returned to share his journey from PSHS-WVC to Cambridge with the Grades 11 and 12 Physics Science Option students.

During his stay at PSHS–WVC, Mr. Barrios received the Excellence in Physics award and was given the opportunity to pursue an internship at the University of Tokyo. He went on to earn his Master of Science in Physics at Durham University and is currently pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy in Physics at the University of Cambridge. His research endeavors include modeling spacecraft trajectories, developing methods for correcting Hubble Space Telescope images, and advancing interferometry.

Physics-IS Unit Lecture Series #1: USING AI IN CLASSROOM DATA MANAGEMENT

The Physics-Integrated Science Unit kicks off its lecture series with an informative and engaging seminar led by Engr. Raphael Eric Yturralde, highlighting the innovative use of AI in classroom data management. During the session, Engr. Yturralde demonstrated how teachers can automate the generation of summary reports from class records and design spreadsheets that automatically emails assessment results to students. He also encouraged the use of AI in generating codes for Google Sheets and Excel, showing how educators can leverage these tools to customize and optimize their workflow, thereby improving efficiency in the teaching and learning process.

🤖 Pueblo Science Camp – Day 2 PM Highlights

We wrapped up the camp with an exciting robotics competition, where participants showcased the skills they developed over the two-day training! 💡🚗

Each team was challenged to program their robot to complete a maze made from electrical tape, using infrared and ultrasonic sensors to detect and follow the path. It was a true test of creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration--and our teacher-participants rose to the challenge!

🏅 The afternoon concluded with the awarding of prizes and certificates, followed by meaningful closing remarks from our partners from the University of Toronto and Pueblo Science.

A huge thank you to all our participants from Iloilo and Negros Occidental for bringing your energy and passion for science education. Together, we’re building empowered classrooms and inspired learners--through the integration of robotics and real-world STEM learning.
