Finding the force: A successful experiment Photo: R. Eswarraj
The Science exhibition brought out the talent of the students.
The students of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat Higher Primary School
Pilimogaru (DKZPHPS), in Pilimogaru village, Chennithodi gram panchayat,
Bantwal taluk, recently held a science exhibition in their school.
Making of models
The science exhibition had various models and paper cut-outs that
explained science concepts. Students had put on display charts that
showed, with drawings, the working of various organs of the body. Masks
of animals and paper cut-outs of animals were displayed. There was also a
model of a computer and a laptop, both of which were made of thermocol.
Akshay, Std. VII, had created a model of an excavator. Using the model,
he demonstrated how the principle of hydraulics worked to make the
excavator and its tipper move. He used water-filled syringes, which were
connected to the excavator in the model to show how the force of the
water helped the excavator move.
Ashwith and Primson, both of Std. VII, had made a model of a seismograph
using a pen and a vibrating contraption, which could be operated with
the help of a battery. As the movement of the contraption grew more, the
pen made more jagged lines on paper, indicating the intensity of an
earthquake. Uday Kumar and Theja of Std. VI and Ranjith of Std. VII,
showed the working of a :charkha” (made of plastic spoons) using a
battery.
A cultural programme and a food festival followed. The students had
brought different kinds of foodstuff and told visitors about the
qualities of each food item.
