Experiment Day

A positive learning climate in a school for young children is a composite of many things.  It is an attitude that respects children.  It is a place where children receive guidance and encouragement from responsible adults around them.  It is an environment where children can experiment and try out new ideas without fear or failure.  It is an atmosphere that builds children’s self-confidence so they dare to take risks.  It is an environment that nurtures a love of learning.
~Carol B. Hillman (20^th Century), U.S. early childhood educator.  Creating a Learning Climate for the Early Childhood Years, Fastback Series (1989).

The inquisitive learners of Grade IV displayed a wonderful presentation of their experiments to parents who were equally interested and participative.

These experiments  helped the learners to question, frame a hypothesis, plan and carry out an experiment, observe and record data, draw conclusions and share results with others.

 

Parent Speaks

The Science Experiment Day organized by Fourth Grade was simply marvelous. Each kid put on their thinking hat and came up with wonderful ways of proving what they learnt in science and applied to real life examples. It was wonderful to see 10 year olds come up with such fabulous ideas.
