Every weekday night during a TIP session, we have clubs. This gives thestudents a chance to focus on a particular subject and learn vocabularypertaining that subject. I usually teach Science club . When I firststarted TIP, the clubs were 5 days, but they have now been boiled downto three days to allow the students to go through more clubs.

Here is my usual lesson plan:

• Day 1: Robots - We watch clips of robots and discuss various facets ofrobotics
• Day 2: Robots (again) - The students design their own robot andpresent it to the class
• Day 3: Bridges - The students build a bridge using chopsticks and thenwe see which bridge can hold the most books

Most of the students that come to Science Club don’t like science andthink science is boring. But many of the students leave having a renewedinterest in science

Here are some photos that I took from last week’s Science Club
