Last week our young adepts of physical sciences were asked to investigate the acceleration due to gravity.
The test can be executed in various ways in which our Year 12 students decided to measure how speed changes with:
A falling object
A ball rolling down a ramp
Timing oscillation (movement back and forth at a regular speed) of a pendulum.
This task was designed to help students to learn nuances of proper scientific investigation, develop their analytical skills, and most importantly they learn how to properly evaluate the viability of a test based on the method used to conduct it.
In all cases, results were fairly close to the expected value - within a reasonable margin of error - so, unfortunately, we won't be scheduling meetings with the Nobel Committee quite yet.
Eloise reflects on her experiences representing St Andrews International School at the annual Remembrance Day service hosted by the British Club in Bangkok. She expresses her deep gratitude for honouring the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and the pride she feels in continuing a family tradition while representing her school and community. Eloise emphasises the importance of this meaningful event in fostering remembrance and appreciation.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
