Chemistry

Rally of sciences

The science rally was held on May 22th, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. and took place in the Xochicalco auditorium, in which all second semester bilingual students participated. 

We had high expectations of the rally since we were forced to do it so we thought it was going to be a lot of fun and well organized. But when we arrived we realized that there was only one teacher assigning team numbers.

Once we entered the auditorium we were divided by rows and the first activity was to throw some sacks, we had to throw them and depending on where it landed it would indicate how many points we got (10, 50 and 100 points). Our teammate managed to get 100 points and our other teammate got none. Then we went to do a chemistry activity and they asked us a question about the methods of separation, we were slow to say so we lost but we were excited to be able to make up those lost points in the next game. 

The next game was twister, there our partner participated and managed to win as well as others so we earned 10 points. At the end we had one last activity and it was about math, we had to get angles but our team could not win.

The winners of the science rally in the second semester of bilingual high school:

- First place: group 209 

- Second place: group 211

- Third place: group 211

Conclusion:

Frida Garciglia: In conclusion I think the rally was a bit boring because in the activities not all had the opportunity to participate, maybe it was fun to cheer my friends when they passed but I was hoping to do an activity together with my team.

Elisa Moreno: The rally was really disorganized assigning the teams and with the time, I didn’t even got the opportunity to participate since they only admitted one person per team and there were only 3 games.

Marisol Zhou: In conclusion I didn't like it very much, since I had more expectations, I was expecting more questions and more dynamics, and apart from just throwing sacks it was more about luck and that's where you got more points with the questions you got very few points. I found it a bit boring and not everyone had the opportunity to participate. 

Everani Elenes: I was disappointed with the rally because I expected it to be more elaborate and entertaining. There were only about four activities, which disappointed me. I anticipated more teamwork activities, but the activities didn’t really focus on team collaboration. I thought it would be more about participating in fun, group activities and enjoying them together, but that wasn’t what we did it was more separate games for each member.

Monserrat Vasquez: I didn't enjoy the rally because it wasn't interesting or fun, since we didn't do much more than answer questions and play two games. I think the event could have been more organized and entertaining, and it should not have been mandatory for all students, since it was supposed to be an optional activity.
