CLASS VIII SCIENCE ACTIVITY- Modelling structure of atom

 

Learners of Class VIII performed activity of making model of structure of atom. Learners have been given five elements on the board. They have to calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in each element with the help of atomic number and mass number. Then they took three different coloured beads or pulses representing electron, proton, neutron. Using compass and pencil they made shells in their activity file. Then they pasted correct counted no. of sub atomic particles. The activity makes them clear about the structure of atom.

GURUDWARA VISIT

 To imbibe the spirit of secularism, to sensitize students about respecting all religions, A visit ot Gurudwara was organised on 25.4.23. Students of class VI, VII and VIII went to Gurudwara, Pushpanjali Encalve during school hours. Students covered their heads before leaving from school. Covering heads symboloses respect towards the god. Students reached Gurudwara and removed their shoes and kept in shoe racks allotted to them and washed their hands. It encouraged discipline among students. Each student one by one bow down infront of gurugranth sahib and took the blessings. Students spent good time by sitting in gurudwara and listening bhajans. Main priest conducted Ardaas from Cambridge International DAVPS and distributed kada prasad among students. Students were calm and felt postive vibes around them.

STEM CLUB ACTIVITY

 Learners of stage -7,8,9 made solar oven and robotic hand as a part of stem club activity. The solar oven you build in this activity is a relatively simple one made out of a pizza box, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and a sheet of black paper. You cut a flap out of the pizza box's lid and line this flap with aluminum foil so that sunlight can be reflected off of the foil and into the box. You also seal the opening with plastic wrap to create a plastic "window" that works like a greenhouse roof, allowing (direct and reflected) sunlight to pass into the box, while also retaining heat. At the bottom of the box, you placed black paper to create a "heat sink." This heat sink works by absorbing direct and reflected sunlight to become warm so that it can then heat up food placed on top of it.

The anatomy of our hands is complex and intricate. To explore how our fingers on our hands are able to move, building a robot hand activity was also done, Learners trace hand shape on coloured paper, cut it. They cut 14 straws of 1.5 cm, 3 straws of 5cm, 2 straws of 7cm. Pasted them on hand trace, Then they used thread and put inside the straws . Pulled threads and as they are pulling hand is also working.
