science club celebration

Here you will find everything you need to know about Young Engineers & Science Clubs Scotland, organised by SCDI.  The purpose of the programme is to engage young people in practical, exciting, hands-on science and engineering activities and to enthuse them to pursue a career in science, engineering and technology.

We have a network of over 700 science, engineering and technology clubs throughout Scotland, from Orkney to Dumfries with a membership of more than 12,000 girls and boys. This site will tell you what Young Engineers Clubs are all about and what they can do for you - whether you're a young person thinking about a career in science, engineering and technology, a teacher looking for resources to promote STEM, or a company who wants to form positive links with education and invest in the engineers of the future.

reflection

MY REFLECTION

Teachers should conduct this reflective activity with learners in the target language. However, when working with beginners, it is better to discuss learning in the native language rather than not at all. When this is the case, the outcomes can be summarized in the target language and displayed on a poster for future reference.

For teachers of ESL students, it may be unrealistic to use the native language of the students. In this case, teachers should use visuals and brief, English phrases to model student expectations. To assist beginning English language learners, teachers should have students choose from pictures that describe feelings and reactions. They can also be given a word bank from which to complete phrases and sentences instead of creating sentences on their own.

The capacity to express one’s self reflectively is an important part of proficiency in any language. As learners become more proficient, teachers should ensure that student reflection is conducted increasingly in the target language. This will stimulate further growth in language proficiency.

Look at the student reflection activity below and decide how you would complete the statements yourself using the LinguaFolio Training Modules as your topic.

my modern hero

There are far more than ten modern heroes that can be found in the world today. You can begin looking right at home at your family. A mother or father that takes the time to make a life for you, they are heroes. A soldier going to war to protect your freedoms is a hero. The pastor at the church is a hero. The doctor that saved a life is a modern hero. The person that gave their money to help another is a hero. There are many heroes all you have to do is look around you.

MY TEACHER MY HERO

When my friends asked me to write again, I decided to start my compilation with something meaningful, a themed essay for the My Teacher, My Hero theme, contrary to last year wherein I had a hard time choosing who to pay tribute to, this year is much different, it was easy and I believe, it is the most obvious choice.
Everyone has someone to keep them on their own feet as they walk through life. Normally, it would be your parent or friend, but mine is different, I had kept myself intact with the help of a teacher. Teachers are usually there to impart knowledge and give you an opportunity to move on with life, I was blessed to have someone during my  highschool days who takes time to make sure that I was okay and the strength to hold on to when everything else went astray
I first metmrs. aporongao as my teacher back when I was in second Year  , back then, things were just inside the classroom – lectures, quizzes, exercises which brought my confidence back after losing my scholarship during the previous term but things turned different when I was in my Third Year and he became our thesis mentor. He turned out to be the #1 Supporter to what we have wanted in the first place. Despite both parties having to adjust to the situation of having a part-time mentor last year, we both exerted effort to follow-up and communicate with each other. Since I was always doing the documentation portion of most our projects, I was the one responsible for making follow-ups with the mentor, which happened to be Mr. Pineda. I took it as my responsibility to stay late, meet him after classes for checking and even go straight to his FEU Main class just to finish the proposal for our thesis. Unfortunately, our second term was cut short after failing the proposal defense – but when things thought that it was the end of our mentorship with mrs. aporongao, we were wrong.
