Science Fair in Mumbai Schools


Students of Ecole Mondiale World School recently conducted a Science Fair at their school auditorium. The core objective behind the Science Fair was to develop students' cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains of learning.
The Science Fair this time did not revolve around topics like renewable resources, generating electricity, solar power to name a few, but focused on projects like composite materials, cosmetics, animal husbandry. The projects highlighted the pros and cons of science and medicine. PYP students created unique models which played an important role in developing the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains of learning.
 Some of the projects highlighted on how ignorance of scientific knowledge could lead to fatal mishaps. The students displayed the disadvantages of various medicinal procedures like Botox, Liposuction, Dental Implant and others.

Ecole Mondiale students from PYP (nursery) to MYP (Grade 10th) actively participated in the fair with new concepts that illustrated, on how Science and Medicine is a boon and curse to humanity. Technology was innovatively used in all the projects by the students. This Science Fair creatively played a key role in building up a platform where in the connection of science with society and the world around us became more evident.

Students from Gandhigram Municipal School Juhu, Sanskardham Vidyalaya of speech and hearing impaired visited Ecole Mondiale during Scifest. According to Finbarr O'Regan, Principal, Ecole Mondiale World School, Juhu, "Science fair gives an opportunity to bring all elements of science together. When students work together, they learn to appreciate each other's' ideas and build-up collaborative and problem solving skills. Students are highly motivated and enthusiastic to present their scientific learning to their parents."
