With reference to the on-going unit of inquiry
“Forces”, the children of Grade-1 went for a field trip to the Birla Science
Museum. Our enthusiastic learners inquired about simple machines that they see
in their everyday life. They were awestruck to learn that these scientific
objects have an impact on our lives. While exploring around the museum our children
kept relating to the type of forces that they are learning in class.
Learners’ verbatim:
If we use energy then the work is done: - Vineet Jai Chitturi
I really liked the pulley because it reminded me
of muscular force and it is very scientific: -Shravan.
We learnt about friction. Things on a smooth slide
went faster than the rolling slide: -Mitansh
Today I learnt about different types of pulleys,
ramps, wheels, screws and simple machines which really make our life easier. I
was able to connect it with the central idea
: -Meghna
Lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing. The Birlas are one of the biggest names associated with the industrial development in India.
