Science Exhibition in Quaderia Burhani School

Reflection Note on Science-Exhibition

On 21st nov 2013  we held science exhibition in our school we gave students four topics on which they had to work ( grade  4^th to 10^th) The topics were  1) Energy 2) Electricity 3) Pollution 4)Environment

              Students did research work they prepared models. They come up with new ideas which were mind blowing. we encouraged them by asking questions on their prepared topics. They had prepared it so well that were giving answers to each & every questions some of them were working models also.

             Judges appreciated their work & give them prizes accordingly. Judgment was based on explanation, model prepared & on norms.

            Students of grade 5 prepared working model of water wheel which was in their syllabus some of them prepared classic models on electricity & pollution. Students of grade 6 to 8 had prepared working models on Hydroelectric power plant & on Wind energy. Some made models on body parts & diseases related due to malfunctioning of particular organ.

              Some students had made models on Global warming, Green house effect & explained effects of these on environment, Living & non- living things.

              So according to Kolb’s theory of experiential learning

              1^st stage- student did research work this was their Concrete Experience.

              2^nd stage- Visitors cross questioned on their prepared topics was Reflective observation.

              3^rd stage- Students came up with new ideas & learned through their own experiences was Abstract Conceptualisation.

              4^th stage- They observed peer’s work & decided to correct themselves in future that was active experimentation.
