The science week was celebrated in the school from August 8 – 12, 2016. As part of the celebrations many science related activities and competitions were held during the week. The aim of celebrating science week was to enhance the understanding of science amongst the students and also to display the fun side of science.
The ‘TECHNO’ SCIENCE’ competition was a power point making group competition aimed at exploring science using technology. It was a grade wise competition, conducted in two phases or levels.
The topics of this competition were –
Grade 6 – Going green
Grade 7 – Stay fit
Grade 8 – Nobel laureates in the field of science
The ‘poster making’ competition was another grade wise but individual competition aimed to display the understanding of science in students using art as a tool. The topics for this competition were –
GRADE 6 – Science as I see / Science to me is …….
Grade 7 – Power of science
Grade 8 – Envisioning the class room in 2050
The ‘Weekly-Assembly’ was re-invented through science. The Assembly started with a prayer on environment, followed by the thought for the week and the latest news in the field of science.
The surprise element of the assembly was the demonstration and explanation of ‘Science Tricks’ by the students, which were not only a feast for the eyes but were also food for thought. The students got a chance to observe and learn several interesting aspects of science through these science tricks. This was followed by the science quiz which saw a very active participation by the students. The entire week saw student engagement through simple activities and competitions which encouraged them to talk about science and engaged them in healthy scientific discussions.
