PREMPEH.ORG SCIENCE QUIZ LIBRARY OPENS

Monday, August 22, 2005

The Prempeh.Org Science Quiz Library is now ready, with a special compilation of books purchased last week ready to be delivered.

A second set of books was purchased today in Accra for the Quiz team. This coincided with the visit of the Prempeh Quiz master, Mr. Kupo to Accra to attend a special seminar organized by the Organizers of the National Science & Maths Quiz competition to inform schools about impending changes in next year's competition.

A third set of books available in the USA market, including the famous Thomas & Finney Calculus book, Halliday & Resnick Physics and several other texts, including Stryer's Biochemistry, Voet & Voet's Biochemistry and Hadley's Endocrinology, along with other related books in the biological sciences, have been ordered by the webmaster, which is expected in a special shipment to Ghana very soon.

Mr. Kupo picked up the collection today and is expected to deliver it to the unique library at Sofoline.

The list includes several copies of these books:

Principles of Physics by Serway
New Certificate Physics by L.E.Fovli and A. Godman
Fundamentals of College Physics by Peter J. Nolan
Physics by Cabnell and Johnson
Biology-Living World
Biology systematic approach 1 and 2
MOPAC Series (Biology)
Chemistry by Raymond Chang
Physics dictionary
Chemistry dictionary
Biology dictionary
Advance Level Physics by Nelkon and Parker
Ordinary Level Physics by A. F. Abbott
Chemistry in Context
Inquiry Into Life, and
Concepts of Biology

The goal was to have multiple copies of the books so that if several houses need to review the material in preparation for a contest, there will be sufficient copies to meet that need.

The videos of national Science Quiz competitions will be archived there as well.

The library is located on the top floor of the Science Resource Center, next to Mr. Koduah's office. It is destined to enhance Science education at the Royal School.
