Student’s Science Exhibition on Climate Change Garners a Lot of Attention

  Visitors to an annual function at Chakhri Dadri's Apeejay School were astounded to witness children from classes six through twelfth speaking fluently about the science models they had created while urging the audience to put in their best efforts to safeguard the planet. To inform and educate people about the adverse effects of climate change, the students demonstrated models about energy transformation, rainwater harvesting, using waste material and biodegradable materials in a science exhibition held at the school. The smart city plan created by the children, which uses all environmentally friendly resources to run the city, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and electric cars, was a dream project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well. It received significant praise from the guests and visitors. Speaking to TOI, Pankaj Kaushik, a science teacher at the school said that all 30 models were prepared by the students on their own with little help from their teachers and with whatever waste materials they could gather in school and at home. Rainwater harvesting, the functioning of heat, the lungs and excretory system, and volcanic eruption were some of the key science models that captured the attention of visitors. Rudrendra Basak, the school's principal, explained that the purpose of holding science exhibitions for students was to foster their scientific temperament and educate the general public about the significance of adopting sustainable methods for the betterment of society and the nation.
