Science
is Fun
The
students of Grade 8 visited the Nehru Science Center, Worli, on the 9th
of February, 2019, as an educational visit. The Nehru Science Center boasts of
a variety of interactive hands-on exhibits, providing children with ideas to
understand scientific concepts, to trigger all their senses. Our children
enjoyed the Science Outdoor Park, as they went about playing and experimenting
with a host of items that were not only enjoyable; but also compelled them to
ask questions and discuss the theory behind it. The students witnessed real images and pictures of the
planets captured on a gigantic animated globe. They saw some live satellite
images of the weather and air traffic too
The ‘Science
for Children’ section had realistic and workable aids, models,
gadgets, images and pictures; which allowed the children to test, try and
experience theories first-hand.
The children then
proceeded to the galleries, which housed interesting and interactive curriculum
relevant exhibits, to enhance student understanding. Three children breezed
through three galleries, namely: Sound and Hearing, Prehistoric Animal Life and
Mirror-The Reflecting Surface. All these galleries opened up a whole new world
of exploration and fun.
The children were super excited to watch the various
experiments being performed before them and enjoyed guessing the results too.
The visit to the Nehru Science Center was not only enjoyable,
but also inculcated the spirit of scientific enquiry in the minds of the young
students.
The Principal, Mr.Kurian, enthused,
“Field Trips areimportant to help bridge the gap between education
and hands-on experience. ... Field trips are crucial for every
student to acquire increased knowledge, culture and hands-on experience.
Hands-on experience produce questions and answers that help shape a child's
future.”
