Engaging Chemistry Session Sparks Curiosity in Class IX Students
On 16 April 2025, Class IX students had an insightful and engaging Chemistry session on the topic "Matter in Our Surroundings." The class focused on understanding the rate of diffusion, exploring the effects of temperature and density on this phenomenon through NCERT Activities 1.4 and 1.5. The students actively participated in hands-on experiments that illustrated how diffusion speeds up with an increase in temperature and slows down with higher density. These real-time observations allowed them to ask questions, engage in critical thinking, and draw conclusions based on their findings. The interactive nature of the session sparked curiosity and deepened their understanding of the properties of matter, leaving the students eager to explore more about the scientific world.
Class X Brings Biology to Life with Creative Stomata Models
On 17 April 2025, Class X students took part in a creative and enriching Biology activity, where they crafted 3D models of stomata—both open and closed—using thermocol, chart paper, and other craft materials. This hands-on project helped them visualize the mechanism of guard cells and their vital role in gas exchange and transpiration. The collaborative activity not only deepened the students’ understanding of the structure and function of stomata but also encouraged them to think critically and creatively. By translating theoretical knowledge into tangible models, the students enhanced their communication skills and scientific temperament. The innovative approach to learning reinforced the importance of creativity in scientific studies and made the session both fun and educational.
Class IX Cambridge Students Explore Plant Classification in Field Study
On the same day, 17 April 2025, students of Class IX Cambridge embarked on a field study to distinguish between flowering and non-flowering plants. This experiential learning activity allowed them to explore leaf venation patterns, identifying monocot and dicot plants in real-world settings. By engaging in outdoor observation, the students were able to connect their classroom knowledge with practical experience, reinforcing the concepts of plant classification. The field study encouraged critical thinking and provided the students with a deeper understanding of botanical science. This immersive learning experience highlighted the importance of practical application in enhancing scientific study and critical observation.
A Day of Active Exploration and Creativity
The day was marked by dynamic and enriching experiences across all classes, blending creativity, practical application, and critical thinking. Through engaging hands-on activities, SAI students strengthened their scientific knowledge while developing essential 21st-century skills. From Chemistry to Biology and beyond, these experiences fostered a love for learning and reinforced the value of exploration in scientific study.
