Pre school visits the National Science Centre

The National Science Centre aims to ignite an early interest amongst young children by offering a fun hands-on experience. The students of the Pre-School sections of our School visited the Centre on 9th October 2018.

The children were expectedly excited. We walked through the galleries and each one showcased something novel. The children were initially plodded to attempt the try- it- yourself models but soon they were so animated that they needed to be restrained a little!

The centre has six halls full of interesting and hands-on participatory exhibits. The students were greatly excited about the exhibition halls, especially, the dinosaur gallery. Besides this, there were small but attention- grabbing exhibits like the magic tap which gushes forth water suspended in space without any inlet, a harp, where merely moving ones hands creates music and a maze of mirrors which gives illusionary effect evoked much interest in the students.

Imagination was challenged as we were welcomed with a piano without keys! Assorted musical instruments used in the long past and some others from the present, prompted eager identification by several of the children. The distinctive sounds of pipes, the xylophone etc lent wonder.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the visit and the plethora of exhibits left them spell-bound. The students were really drawn into the magical world of science and were greatly inspired.
