On 22nd August, 2014 the children of classes 1 and 2 visited the National Science Centre at Pragati Maidan as an educational trip. The museum, one of the biggest science centres in the country was set up with the aim of allowing children to explore, experiment and have fun with science. The entry to the centre welcomed the students with a huge exhibit spanning four floors. A resource person from the centre greeted the kids and explained the models as they moved from one gallery to the other.
The children were spellbound to see an array of magic tricks like the magic tap which apparently gushed forth water suspended in space without any inlet! A harp , created music merely by moving ones hands in the air!
[gallery columns="2" ids="2680,2679,2678,2677"]There were several galleries, each one dedicated to a particular theme .There were a number of models related to science and technology. Some of them based on principles and laws could be operated by the students which gave them a hands on experience of how things work. The children were thrilled to see different forms of prehistoric life in the Dinosaur Gallery, featuring several life sized and scaled animated robotic models of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures that ruled the earth millions of years ago. This is one of the best ways to arouse curiosity.
After visiting the centre the children enjoyed their lunch with their friends and could not stop sharing the experience. It was a great learning experience for the children. An experience that engaged students to learn by seeing and doing.True edutainment for the kids!
