Water Sampling at Malindang Lodge Creek

Last night, I promised a post on CAS Week‘s opening program.  Sad to say, there were changes on the scheduled time since rain poured heavy today.  So, I wasn’t able to join the said event for I didn’t have the luxury of time to wait at the school doing nothing for the program to start.  Instead, I’ll just post what I did early this afternoon with my major in Physics students.

We had field work on investigating the hydrosphere.  So where else can I find the nearest hydrosphere than the creek outside our very own home.  The Malindang Lodge creek is connected to the Burgos creek which of course comes from the Labo River(?).  We determined some physical and chemical properties of the water, identified some flora and fauna living in or around the creek, and also measured the rate flow of the water.

After the hard work, we had the walang-kamatayang-pagkain-ng-estudyante pancit canton!  Though we only had a little time, we still managed to squeeze in some small talk about things not related to our academic studies.  Hehe…..

Thank you, team Physics for this afternoon’s “scientific” event! 🙂

*Results of our water sampling are not posted here but can only be read from the formal report that shall be written by my students.

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
