In continuation with the celebrations of different subject weeks, the school celebrated science week wherein the students and teachers participated in various activities.
- Class 8 students conducted a project on the topic- E waste. They prepared a survey questionnaire with the objective of testing students’ knowledge and attitude towards e waste and its safe disposal. They also created a jingle and went to classes 8-10 to promote the awareness towards e waste and encouraged the students to participate in the survey. Then they analysed the result of the survey and interviewed a local e waste disposal company. The proprietor shared information about the recycling refurbishing and safe disposal of e waste. Finally, they created a power point presentation and discussed the types of e waste, problems created, solution to the problems at self-level, city level, national and international level. In this way students presented these entire sequences of various components of their project in the assembly to create an impact on the minds of peer students.
- Class 6 students presented interesting information on ‘The Science Behind the Fascinating Wonders of the World’. The enthusiastic students from class 6 delivered presentation focused on three unique phenomena:
- Blood Falls of Antarctica: The reason behind the mysterious Blood Falls, a red colored waterfall found in Antarctica was explained.
- Lake Natron of Tanzania: The eerie and captivating reason for calcification and preservation of animals that die in Lake Natron, creating natural ‘statues’ was explained.
