Rotorua Lakes High School Visit

On Wednesday the 11th of September Mokoia Intermediate School went to the local high school for the open day. I am applying for the excellerant  class so i had chemistry, physics, the gymnasium, cooking, mathematics and international languages.
Physics was my favourite one because we used a Van de Graaff generator (which is a machine that generates static electricity) and I learnt a lot about kinetic energy and centrifugal force.
My second favourite was surprisingly mathematics because the challenges made it fun. We had to solve algebra problems and mapping problems.
In chemistry, we burnt chemicals to use an identifying technique. They all let off different coloured flames.
 In the gymnasium, we played a game called pirates which was fun.
 In cooking, we made molds for chocolate and poured melted chocolate into them and made chocolates. International languages was pretty fun and we learnt a bit of French and Spanish. Overall I would rate the day a 9/10.
