1. Modes of transport
Importance of a transportation system!!
1. Critically evaluate a range of transportation options
2. Building an efficient transportation system suiting your requirement
Learning objectives:
1. Need for different modes of transport
2. Choice of mode of transport based on requirements (time, surface to be covered, comfort, travel time etc.)
3. Working of a rope way & its utility in hilly regions
Kit contains:
1. Board game to learn about different modes of transport & their travel time
2. Materials to build a rope way & transfer load from one end to the other
2. Weaving
Learning objectives
1. Touch and feel different types of clothes & identify the fibre (silk, cotton, manmade) etc.
2. Weaving of threads using a hand loom.
How does this activity help?
A child learns
1. Similarities & differences between different fabrics.
2. How clothes are made? – Through weaving
3. How does a hand loom work? - Make your own handloom
4. Kids would use their handloom to weave different fabrics - wrist bands, decorative patterns etc.
Kit contains:
1. Fabric samples made from 5 different fibres.
2. 10 different components to build a hand loom & weave threads on it to make a cloth.
3. Colour workbook that includes
a. Detailed instructions to build models
b. Exercises on observations
c. Information about real life applications
d. Concept map for revision
e. Questions that trigger application oriented learning.
3. Shadow Projections
Eliminate the mystery behind!!
1. How are puppetry shows made?
2. How can we predict time of the day by seeing shadows?
3. What all can be predicted about the object by seeing its shadow?
Learning objectives:
1. How shadows are formed? (Light source, object & screen)
2. Effect of position of light source, the object and the screen on the size & shape of shadow formed
3. How length of shadows formed due to sunlight change with angle of light falling on it?
4. Identify its size & shape of an object by seeing its shadow
Kit contains:
1. Setup to build a projector (torch, object & a screen)
2. Different shapes to project light & see their shadows
4. Different forms of energy
Learning objectives:
1. What is energy? Different sources of energy
2. Conversion of energy from one form to another in different models.
3. How energy stored in magnets can be used to do work?
How does it help?
1. This kit introduces young scientists to different forms of energy & their conversions!!!
Kit contains:
1. Electrical components to build a battery operated fan.
2. Setup to build a wind mill.
3. Magnets.
