While teaching science, they should understand the concept in the right way other wise it will spoil not only the students but also the society. This is the statement given by “Kothari Commission”. So, science education should give standard knowledge, life skill and scientific talents. The science workshop also induce the students to get all life skills through science.
Science only shifted the man from storage to information on technological period. We can get answer for the following questions why? How? And what from? Experiments, that is science. We have formed science club-VIPNET in our school also.
This gave the following results to the students who participated in the workshop
- Observation
- Measuring
- Recording
- Calculating
- Reasoning
- Find out the results
- Sharing
Some Projects in various Subjects
VIPNET is really proud of that. Usually the students wear and forget. But in the workshopthey see, remember and keep in mind, we did it and learnt in the workshop.
In the closing ceremony feedback was got by the students as well as the teachers. Both shared their experience. Teachers appreciated the students involvements, participation and sincerity in workshop. This kind of workshop will be conducted every year in our school.
