Science day held on 31st March
was a huge learning experience in
school. All students of primary, middle and
secondary school participated in the event wholeheartedly and a lot of
fascinating research and innovative projects were laid out. Echoing a recurring
principle of the IB, the theme of the science day was “Science for the betterment of humanity”. The idea and the focus of the event depicted
how science has helped shape the world in its present form and how it will have
a progressive role in the future.
Students of primary school
focused on how technology has changed various instruments that are in use
today. They explored the development of common tools like agricultural
equipment to understand how these have changed the methods of cultivating and
harvesting. Similarly they talked about how cameras and cars underwent a
drastic change over time.
Middle school and senior school
focused on research projects which had a variety and depth of understanding.
Some of the areas were genetically modified foods, cloning, comparing
efficiency of different types of
bulbs, piezoelectricity, hybrid cars,
halfalogue etc. There were ingenious projects like making gloves for traffic
control, a low cost cooling system and innovative ways of creating electricity
from salt water, from rain water harvesting.
Across the senior school students of grade 9 explored the concerns for air pollution in innovative ways like flash mob and ‘nukkad natak’ while students of grade 11 showcased their research and findings on kitchen science through the compulsory IB Group 4 project which is based in all the sciences and in technology. The exhibition was visited by the teachers and students across the school, and turned out to be a success.
