Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
-Benjamin Franklin
In Prudence School, we always believe in optimising the learning of the students by involving them in construction of their own knowledge.
Grade 2 planned an activity where a Student Station' was set up so that students can begin to explore various Properties of Water.
Experimenting with water seemed very ordinary to them at first but its varied properties left them mesmerised in the end. They explored different properties of water like its ability to Mix and Don't mix things', then they explored Taste and Smell' of water by adding things like Bitter gourd juice, Glucon D, Lemon etc in water. They performed simple experiments to explore Shape' and Sink / Float' capability of water.
Our students were completely engrossed while performing these experiments and recording their observations.
It was indeed a fun filled yet enriching experience for the children. They were delighted to see the results of their experiments.
