Each eye is controlled by six extraocular muscles: the medial re**us, lateral re**us, superior re**us, inferior re**us, superior oblique, and inferior oblique. Working together, these muscles allow the eyes to move up, down, left, right, and rotate. The medial and lateral re**us muscles mainly control horizontal movements, while the re**us and oblique muscles work together to produce vertical and rotational movements.

These muscles also work in coordinated pairs. When one muscle contracts, its opposing muscle relaxes, allowing the eye to move smoothly and accurately. This precise coordination helps us keep our gaze on objects, follow moving targets, and maintain stable vision as we move our heads and bodies.

In ensuring the continuous learning and development of every student, SHS Students actively participated in the Science Fair 2026, held at Saint Ferdinand College on September 16, 2026, Wednesday, where various scientific concepts, innovations, and interactive activities were showcased through engaging presentations and hands-on demonstrations.

Throughout the exhibit, students explored different fascinating topics in science, including Mars and its characteristics, climate change and its effects, stars and planets, and the movement of the Sun throughout the day. These exhibits allowed students to observe, interact, and gain a better understanding of the universe and the natural phenomena happening around us.

The Science Fair served as more than just an exhibit—it became a space where questions turned into discoveries and ordinary observations became opportunities to learn. From exploring the mysteries of Mars to looking beyond our planet through the Space Dome, students were given a closer look at the science that shapes the world and the universe around us. Through these experiences, curiosity was not only sparked but also encouraged to go beyond what is seen inside the classroom. 🔬🧪💡

Our 𝐀𝐆𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐅𝐂𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 put their chemistry skills to the test by balancing the equation FeS₂ + O₂ → Fe₂O₃ + SO₂! Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element remains equal on both sides, following the Law of Conservation of Mass. Through careful counting and adjustment of coefficients, the balanced equation is 4FeS₂ + 11O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃ + 8SO₂.

But here's the challenge: your final answer must be written in ratio form! The coefficients correspond to the ratio 4 : 11 : 2 : 8, representing the respective amounts of FeS₂ : O₂ : Fe₂O₃ : SO₂. Remember, when answering, give the coefficients in the correct order and express them as a ratio.

Did you know that humans are born with more bones than they have as adults?🔬

Our 𝐀𝐆𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐅𝐂𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 successfully uncovered a fascinating fact about the human skeletal system! At birth, a newborn has approximately 275–300 bones, many of which are smaller, softer, and more flexible than those of an adult. This flexibility helps babies curl up in the womb and pass through the birth canal.

As the body grows, some of these bones gradually fuse together and become harder through a process called ossification. This development continues through childhood and into adolescence, eventually resulting in the 206 bones commonly found in the adult human skeleton.

Every question answered is another discovery made, proving that science is all about curiosity, learning, and understanding the amazing way our bodies develop!

The human body is an incredible masterpiece, and our skeletal system changes as we grow. 🦴 At birth, babies have more bones than adults because many of these bones gradually fuse together during development. By understanding how the skeletal system grows and develops, we can better understand the changes our bodies go through.

As part of their commitment to innovation, creativity, and hands-on learning, students from St. Paul the Apostle, St. Patrick of Ireland, St. Peter the Apostle, St. Ignatius of Loyola, and St. Mark the Evangelist proudly showcased their Prototype of Simple and Compound Machines, demonstrating how engineering concepts can be transformed into practical and functional designs.

During the activity, students presented a variety of working prototypes made from simple machines, compound machines, and innovative designs integrated with hydraulic systems. Through careful planning, construction, and testing, they explored how different mechanical principles work together to reduce effort, transfer force, and perform tasks more efficiently. Through this activity, students gained a deeper appreciation of how simple and compound machines, together with hydraulic systems, can be used to solve real-world problems.

📖 Answer Explanation:

A. Plate Tectonics ❌�Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that describes the movement of Earth's large lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere. These plates are constantly moving, though very slowly, and their interactions shape the Earth's surface by forming mountain ranges, deep-sea trenches, volcanoes, and fault lines. Their movement is also responsible for many geologic activities, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

B. Continental Drift ❌�Continental drift is the idea that the continents have not always been in their present locations. Millions of years ago, all continents were connected as one massive landmass called Pangaea. Over geologic time, this supercontinent gradually broke apart, and the continents slowly moved across Earth's surface until they reached their current positions.

C. Mantle Convection ❌�Mantle convection is the process in which heat from Earth's core causes mantle material to circulate. As hotter mantle rock becomes less dense, it rises toward the surface. After cooling, it becomes denser and sinks back into the mantle. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking transfers heat within the Earth and plays a major role in the movement of tectonic plates.

D. Seafloor Spreading ✅ (Correct Answer)�Seafloor spreading is the process in which hot, less dense material from the mantle rises through the mid-ocean ridges. As this magma reaches the surface, it cools and hardens to form new oceanic crust. The continuous formation of new crust pushes the older seafloor away from the ridge in opposite directions, causing the ocean basin to widen over time.
