SCIENCE WEEK

SESSION 2024-25

Albert Einstein had remarked, “ The important thing is to never stop questioning”, for it is when you question that you find solutions! Science generates solutions for everyday lie and help us to answer the great mysteries of the universe. Science Week at Bhai Parmanand Vidya Mandir was an exciting and enriching experience for students and teachers. Held from 27.08.24 to 31.08.24, the event aimed to foster curiosity, creativity, and a love for science among students. The week was packed with various activities and exhibitions, all designed to engage students in hands-on learning and encourage scientific thinking.

Activities:

Herbal Heroes- Discover the power of Plants (VI)

Students explored how local herbal and medical plants can help treat common diseases. They discovered plants related to a given disease and found how these plants can make us healthier and shared their findings with the class.

Green Innovations in Chemistry (VII)

Students picked a product like soap, detergent, shampoo, dye, or insect repellent, and redesigned it using green chemistry principles that aim to make an eco-friendly version that’s better for the environment.

The Science Frontier- Discovering Nature and Space (VIII)
Students explored, investigated, and presented scientific phenomena related to nature or the universe in a way that is engaging, educational, and informative.
Science exhibition (VI-XII)

The Science Exhibition was an engaging and informative event that showcased the curiosity and creativity of young minds. The exhibition featured a variety of projects and interactive displays covering a range of scientific disciplines like Environmental Science (Smart irrigation system, Forest fire suppression Robot, wonderbag etc.),Physics and Engineering (Laser house security system, Lifting bridge during flooding, Automatic street light etc.), Biology and Life Sciences (Fungal and Bacterial culture, Demonstration of DNA isolation and Structure, Rapid blood testing, Tissue Culture, Vegetative propagation trechniques etc.), Robotics (RADAR, Obstacle avoiding car, Bluetooth mobile control car etc.), Chemistry.

SESSION 2023-24

“Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.”

Robert.A.Heinlein.

Hands-on activities help to develop cognitive and psychomotor skills of the children. As a part of Science Week, an array of activities was planned for the students and the theme was LUMINESCENCE. These activities helped the students to explore , observe and get the results on their own.

For the students of Class III, an activity Upcycled Art was conducted where the students had to combine their creativity and environmental awareness and transform recyclable materials into artistic masterpieces.

The students of Classes IV and V were made to analyse a video of a specific scientific phenomenon, process, or experiment (Video Analysis) and were asked to perform some experiments in groups, record their observations and explain the science behind it (Mysterious Science Experiments).

The concluding day saw a Science Exhibition by the students of Classes III to X where the students presented their models and demonstrated their experiments.
