From curiosity to discovery – the power of science
“Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.”-Adam Smith
National Science Day is celebrated every year on February 28th to commemorate the discovery of the Raman Effect by Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman in 1928. This day is observed to recognize the importance of science in our daily lives and to encourage scientific temper among people, especially students.
For the primary school students, the celebration of National Science Day holds great significance as it provides them with an opportunity to explore and appreciate the wonders of science in a fun and interactive manner. It serves as a platform to showcase their creativity and innovative thinking through various activities such as projects and model displays.
In our school we celebrated science day in a wonderful manner this year which involved every aspect integrating science with creativity. Project making, model making, art, elocution, quiz and role play competitions were held for the learners in different categories.
Projects and model displays allow students to demonstrate their understanding of scientific concepts in a practical way. It encourages them to think critically, problem-solve, and apply their knowledge to real-life situations. Moreover, it helps in fostering a sense of curiosity and excitement towards science among young learners.
In addition to projects and model displays, National Science Day celebrations in primary schools often include various competitions such as quiz, elocution, art, and role-play competitions based on science topics. These competitions provide students with a platform to enhance their communication skills, artistic talents, and dramatic abilities while also deepening their understanding of scientific concepts.
Overall, the celebration of National Science Day in our school not only promoted the importance of science education but also provided students with an enjoyable and enriching learning experience. It instilled in them a love for science and inspires them to pursue further studies and careers in the field of science and technology.
