If it is SATURDAY, IT is time for ADVENTURE IN SCIENCE!!

 

 

The DEADLINE to submit your children's PARENT'S DAY project forms is approaching fast. PLEASE decide on a Project topic quickly and get them started. They need the time t collect material/data/information, write it up, practice, hone it and make it a presentation for THEM to be proud of!!

 

NOTE: The last 3 lines are scrunched together-the spaces apparently have a "mind of their own" they refuse to separate!!

 

 

WE HAVE FIVE GREAT TOPICS FOR YOU:

 

1.       3D PRINTING (DR. SASIKUMAR & FRIEND)- LEARN about what is 3D Printing/WHY 3 D Printing/WHAT is the BIG DEAL/WHAT is Prototyping/WHY is it NEEDED?WAT is the use/Where are these used? CAN it be USED to CREATE a HUMAN BEING?

 

2.       GEOGRAPHY (DR. Shanti): YES THIS is SCIENCE too!! Have you ever wondered why, for example, South America will fit snugly around Africa? Did the Earth always have 7 continents? Is Mt. Everest's summit really the farthest point from the center of the Earth? Why are some countries more prone to earthquakes and volcanoes than others? Is "Sahara" the largest desert in the world? KEY for all these is  Geography.

 

3.       MYSTERY TOPIC (Dr. Krishna): A Very interesting, HIGHLY Imaginative, Science TOPIC delivered by a Man who keeps things floating in SPACE

4.      GEOMETRY (DR. SANDEEP) WHAT are shapes, WHAT is GEOMETRY, WHY do we need it, WHAT is PI, WHAT is its value, WHY do we need to know that, HOW do we calculate AREAS and VOLUMES

5.      MYSTERY Topic (Dr. SUSMITA) The GOOD Doctor may have told me the topic-but I forget! MAY be she will speak about Memory, WHAT is it Made of etc OR SOMETHING ELSE!!

6.       Yoga folks-please come prepared!! You all know AND appreciate the "joy of Pain"! ESPECIALLY TRUE this week as we have a NEW teacher-AND as you all KNOW teachers vary as to how they present-should be exciting!
