Technology is one of the
several UOI topics we learn in Grade V. As part of this inquiry, we visited Birla
Science Museum in Hyderabad. Everyone was excited as this Museum was special.
Unlike all the other museums where it’s only about seeing, in this museum, it
was about doing too! It was hands-on!
There was an exemplary
model of an icy field with penguins waddling around and a remote island. There
was even a miniature catwalk looming over the model for a closer view. We saw functional
models of pulley systems, wheel and axles. We also saw a demonstration where
mechanical energy (cycling) is converted into electrical energy (light in
bulb).
The most-awaited section
of the trip was the Dinosaurium. There were a few ancient fossils of fish,
snails (humongous ones) and dinosaur body parts. There was even a comprehensive
skeletal model of a species of a dinosaur.
Across-the-board, this Field
Trip was the most enlightening and educative of all!
