STEM 12 — AMETHYST | From Chemical Reactions to Real-Life Applications! 🧪
Chemistry is not just for chemists, scientists, or laboratories. It is part of everyday life and the work of farmers, candle makers, bakers, water filtration workers, and many others. Through these booths, STEM 12 Amethyst showcased how chemical reactions and principles connect science to real-life practices—from baking and candle making to water treatment and improving soil for better plant growth. From the kitchen and farm to the water used every day and the candles that light our homes, chemistry is everywhere.
The students proudly presented their Chemistry Exhibit Booths as a performance task for General Chemistry under the guidance of Ma'am Angeline Sumedca
For almost three weeks, the students worked together to plan, design, and prepare their booths. Behind every display were countless hours of teamwork, revisions, and, of course, puyatan para lang matapos ang designs.
The Grade 9 students also played an important part by visiting the booths, listening to the presentations, and taking notes. Their participation made the exhibit more meaningful and gave the Grade 12 STEM students an opportunity to share what they had learned.
More than a performance task, the project became a journey of teamwork, friendship, and bonding. The puyatan, pressure, laughter, and shared responsibilities brought the students closer together.
Three weeks of chemistry became three weeks of teamwork, friendship, puyatan, and collective suffering over designs and deadlines. In the end, the students learned that the best results do not come from one person—they come from everyone working together.
A sincere appreciation goes to Ma’am Angeline for her time, guidance, and patience, as well as to the other teachers who shared their time and allowed the students to work on their booths. Their support helped make the project possible.
Chemistry may have been the subject, but teamwork, friendship, puyatan and pressure were definitely part of the experiment. ✨
