Take-Off Bottle Launching Competition

In this event, participants had to design and build a rocket onsite within two (2) hours. Our DLSZ students for the Modified Payload category were able to secure the gold, outranking 12 other teams hailing from other schools. The team that bagged the gold consisted of  Dylan Centeno and Aireene Marie Lusung.  From a class project to a competition, the pair was able to successfully create an effective output, built around the lessons they have learned when they made bottle rockets as part of their Science Performance Task (PT).

Big Bang Astronomy-Themed Quiz Bee

DLSZ sent two (2) teams to participate, of which one passed both the written qualifier exam and the quiz bee, placing 5th during the championship round. Team B, which comprised of Juan Mateo Villavicencio, Jun Jangao Kaga, and David Johannes Alvaro, scored 7th out of 36 teams on the written qualifying exam. Team B passed to the next round, which consisted of a Jeopardy-style quiz. Out of 10 teams, DLSZ team B scored 5th, moving on to the final championship round. The quiz tested their knowledge on Cosmology, History of Astronomy, and Philippine Ethnoastronomy.

This event is hosted by the UP Astronomical Society (AstroSoc). “Every year, UP AstroSoc celebrates National Astronomy Week (NAW) following Proclamation No. 863, s. 1992. Their organization launches activities that showcase both the field of astronomy and the organization itself. The activities aim to promote and improve science and astronomy education in high schools across the country.” (source: https://www.facebook.com/upastrosoc/)

The DLSZ Science Institute would like to give our sincere gratitude to their coaches, Mr. Ezrel Alucilja, Mr. Freddie Cabalo, and Ms. Jhuly-An Villanueva. From preparing reviewers preceding the event to sharing their knowledge and prior experiences during the actual competition, our students felt their support all throughout.

Congratulations to all participants! Animo La Salle!
