The Grade 9s of Sans Souci Girls’ High spoke to us about science and their projects for National Science Week. NIHAAD JACOBS
‘I think the strikes are the best thing: the fat cats get a 30–40% wage increase while the people who do the work and are the backbone of the country get offered only 6%.’ – Douglas
RESPECT
‘I love science: it stimulates the mind and allows us to explore the world.’ Project: How the shape of the candle influences how long it will burn. ‘This project is important to people who use candles in their homes. It’s important to know it’s the shape of the candle that determines how long it will burn.’ BILLIE-JEAN DEMAS
‘I love science as I find it easy and I love studying chemistry.’ Project: Does health influence creativity? ‘My project is about two things that affect us and seem to have no relevance to each other, but I found that they do.’ BI L

Kabelo (aka Bouga Luv) is the ultimate ambassador for energy and getting high on life. For almost five years now, this kwaito star has been living a life free of substance abuse and he recently completed his second Comrades marathon in 10 hours 57 minutes. We say big-up to the clean life, and keep the energy flowing!
DANIELLE LEUKES
‘I love science as it’s interesting and you learn about things that could help us in the future.’ Project: Hypertension. ‘It’s interesting because most people don’t know how certain foods affect our blood pressure.’

’The strike is the most pathetic way to get a raise ... seriously, it’s like a child throwing a tantrum.’ – Angel
‘Science is challenging and very interesting to me.’ Project: Teenagers have better visual than auditory memory. ‘We were trying to show teenagers that if they learnt using visual aids it would help them remember more.’

I recently read your new-look Hip2b2, the June 2007 ‘sight’ issue. I really did enjoy flicking through the pages. It was very different from the kind of magazines I usually read! I am into Cosmo and Elle with girlie articles and fashion and beauty tips. This magazine made a great change. Keep up the good work!
