Enriching Experience, at Regional level CBSE Science Exhibition

SAS students participated in the Regional Level CBSE Science Exhibition at Jaipur on August 24th and 25th.

The theme for the exhibition was, “Where Will Energy Come From In the Future and Electromagnetic Radiation and Its Effects.” The venue for the prestigious event was Maharaja Sawai Man Singh Vidyalaya, Jaipur. The exhibits were related to contemporary issues. 

 

Under the able guidance of our very able facilitator Mr Satya Ramesh, Abhijeet Dass and Aman Rathi (Classes X and IX) respectively prepared their project on Windmill, while Dheer Dholakia and Dhruv Garg (Classes X and IX) exhibited their project on the Effect of Electromagnetic Radiation on the birds.

 

The students went in for a lot of research and preparation  going much beyond the text book learning. Our young SAS scientists learnt to perform simple activities and also built scientific temper amongst fellow students. It was time to learn that behind every scientific discovery there are three steps-Assumption, Observation/Experimentation and Conclusion. It was important for the concepts to be clear and not make any wild guesses. The basic of science is to know the scientific principle behind every phenomenon/mechanism thoroughly and then look for the future scope or viability of the principle from a newer dimension. Critical appreciation is important for the growth. This enriching experience will definitely help our students to prepare for PRABHAT.

The participation gave vision to our Think Tanks.
