SCIENCE WEEK EVENTS AT Municipal High Humanist School

The SCIENCE WEEK was concluded successfully at our secondary section.  It was a fully packed learning experience in which students and teachers of science came together and learnt , performed experiments, analyzed, observed and came with conclusions on scientific applications in books and daily life.

The SCIENCE WEEK was partly funded by the school management in conjunction with the office of the school director. 

Benefits of Making Science Experiments

1. 🧠 Enhances Understanding Through Active Learning

Experiments bring scientific concepts to life.

Students see theories in action, which improves comprehension and retention.

---

2. 🔍 Develops Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving

Encourages asking questions, forming hypotheses, and analyzing results.

Teaches how to draw conclusions based on evidence, not assumptions.

---

3. 👐 Promotes Hands-On Learning

Ideal for kinesthetic learners who learn best by doing.

Builds practical skills like measuring, using lab equipment, and observing changes.

---

4. 💡 Fosters Creativity and Curiosity

Students explore “what if” questions and try new ideas.

Sparks a natural sense of wonder and discovery.

---

5. 📊 Builds Scientific and Data Literacy

Involves collecting data, interpreting graphs, and identifying patterns.
