This picture on the rightwas done by me during the one week holiday in March. This project is by the Singapore Science Centre. There are two different competitions. One is called 'WhizKid' and the other is 'ScizKid'. In every toy, it has to have a scientific principle.
For 'WhizKid', it has a theme of I can dance. You have to Make a toy which produces some dance movements or even a toy which can make people dance.
For the 'ScizKid', it is an open category which comprises of 2 sections- "Primary 1 & 2" and "Primary 3-6". Toys has to be safe to play and construct with. The toys for 'ScizKid' has no theme but the toy must demonstrate at least one scientific principle.

Wonderful photo... the image itself speaks volume!
ReplyDeleteMelody, always start your writing with exciting your readers. (Especially since you have such a wonderful photo)... How would you re-write your opening statement to make your readers excited?
The sentence "In every toy,..." started too abruptly from the earlier sentences and do not seem to make sense after reading the earlier lines. YOu could start by explaining, "These competition requires students to design a toy that illustrates a scientific principle." I feel that the next line- "For the 'Scizkid'..." the information here is not necessary. Since you already started to explain about the design of the toy, then it should continue with "Toys have to be..." as you are elaborating on the design criteria of toys.
Hey hey hey.... Toys has or have???? Do check for errors like this before submitting / posting okie!
And finally, I like the way you used the word- "demonstrate" in the second last line! Well done!
