LionFish (Can be found in Brunei waters)
Pretty much everything about the venomous lionfish—its red-and-white zebra stripes, long, showy pectoral fins, and generally cantankerous demeanor—says, "Don't touch!"
The venom of the lionfish, delivered via an array of up to 18 needle-like dorsal fins, is purely defensive. It relies on camouflage and lightning-fast reflexes to capture prey, mainly fish and shrimp. A sting from a lionfish is extremely painful to humans and can cause nausea and breathing difficulties, but is rarely fatal.
Lionfish, also called turkey fish, dragon fish and scorpion fish, are native to the reefs and rocky crevices of the Indo-Pacific, although they've found their way to warm ocean habitats worldwide.
The largest of lionfish can grow to about 15 inches (0.4 meters) in length, but the average is closer to 1 foot (0.3 meters).
Lionfish are popular in some parts of the world as food, but are far more prized in the aquarium trade. Their population numbers are healthy and their distribution is growing, causing some concerned in the United States, where some feel the success of this non-indigenous species presents human and environmental dangers.

ICT and Science 5

What is WI-FI?
It the using the wireless technology to connect electronic devices around the wi-fi section. how may it help in teaching Science?
As far as we know, most of the mobile, laptops, projectors, printers, TV and basically all ICT tools are fitted with the capability to have wi-fi in them. This is very useful as data and information can be shared fast and efficiently without using cable and we need no transfer or share file one by one. Using the wi-fi technology it can be share all at once.
Let say, a teacher wanted to share some photo about animals cells she get from the internet with his students and all he have to do is using the wi-fi and a click of a button, all the students within the range can receive the file in their laptops or mobile. This is very effective way of sharing.

Interactive White Board

One of the most innovative and interesting educational tools is the interactive white board. The latest version allow normal traditional white board to be transformed and link with laptops, projectors and powerful program software. And best of all, you still can write on it and rub away.
Teachers and students can use interactive to present their work, do digital drawing and many other educational programs. All they have to do is just use a special pen, or version just fingertip to do the clicking and drawing on the board. This actually help in environment saving by reducing the use of toxic ink.
