Akal Academy Kajri Holds Science Skill development Workshop!

Sciences and specially Physics chemistry in many schools is being taught since years and since decades it has been taught only through chalk and talk. Science education has reduced to transferring some formulae, equations and statements from the teachers lecture notes to the student. In order to make the teaching of science understandable, perceivable and enjoyable, Akal Academy Kajri under the aegis of Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib and Bharti Bhavan Publications organized two days Science workshop. Akal Academy Gomti, Telipura and Unnao science teachers eagerly participated in the workshop. The resource person on the occasion was Mr. Rakesh Kumar Awasthi.

The first day of the workshop was dedicated to Strategies and Activities used in teaching of Science. Through demonstrations, and using innovative activities the resource person asked the teachers to use self-designed equipments and tools to enhance learning of concepts.

Baloons, paper toys, water, bottles metal parts can be reshaped and redesigned to make interesting teaching aids. In the concluding session feedback from the teacher was taken and teachers shared and demonstrated their learning experiences.

The Principal Simran Kaur and Mrs Rangbir Kaur thanked the resource person and participating teachers from all Academies.

The second Day of the workshop was dedicated to the teaching of Chemistry using various tools and techniques. Teachers were thoroughly trained to design various simple experiments from almost all the sections of Physics, namely mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, waves, optics, electricity and magnetism. The session was interactive and all aspects of interpretation and the science to be learnt were freely discussed.
