Yeah, you read it correctly. 'Lepak'ing is a combination of Malay and English. It means chill-out or relax. You might think that it is very silly of us to 'lepak' when we are in a middle of an experiment. But we have valid reason to do so!
These photos was taken this afternoon. Whilst everyone was on their lunch break, my group had to do a Biology experiment, entitled "Photosynthesis"
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae. Plants need only light energy, carbon dioxide and water to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the choloplasts, specifically using cholophyll.
Whilst waiting for the plants to photosynthesize (40minutes), me and my friends chill out and take photos of ourselves! haha
These are some photos taken when I'm doing physics experiment yesterday. The title of the experiment is Spring Elasticity.
Elasticity is one one of the physical characteristics of a solid. It shows whether a material will return to its original state when an external force applied to it is removed.
The quantitative discussion of the elasticity of a spring can be summarized according to Hooke's Law which defined as follows.
The force applied on an elastic object is proportional to the displacement of the material from its original position.
