Semester Review

Learning Chemistry Through Practice

2025.9-2026.1

Time flies, and another semester has come to an end. Chemistry is an explanatory science built on experiment, and our chem club gives students a space to experience that directly. Through hands-on work and teamwork, members do not just read equations from a textbook. They see chemistry return to the real world.

At the beginning of the semester, the club actively joined the school recruitment events. Through quizzes and interviews, we welcomed a new group of Grade 10 students and brought fresh energy into the team.

In the club, everyone has a chance to explain ideas, ask questions, and help solve problems. Club leaders introduce the experiments, teachers guide the work, members raise questions, and the whole group collaborates on solutions. That process gives every student a chance to become the main character in the lab.

This semester, the club held a fixed experiment activity every week. We completed a number of representative experiments, including the "water garden" formed through semipermeable membranes and osmotic pressure, the "golden rain" created by the double-displacement reaction between lead nitrate and potassium iodide, "elephant toothpaste" built from surfactant-stabilized foam, and luminous demonstrations based on luminol and oxidizers.

Looking ahead to next semester, the club will continue to learn through practice, expand the range and depth of experiments, and improve lab technique and safety. We hope chemistry will remain not only a subject, but also an interest, an experience, and a way to keep exploring.
