As
per plan, Department of Science dedicated this year to inspire, motivate and
guide students to adopt research based learning. For this very purpose, all the
science teachers had devoted time for guiding students about art of doing
research since the beginning of this academic year. For achieving this
objective, we were indebted to our school heads for supporting and guiding us.
It was in the month of May during which, our school leaders headed by Principal
Mr. Duke Tsering took an interactive session for motivating and inspiring our
class XII students to develop research methodologies. They took our students
and science teachers around the school premises for introducing empirical
research areas that are related to our daily life. Likewise, our department was
able to instill research tactics by screening a movie entitled ‘PAD MAN’ –real
life story of Arunachalam Muruganantham
who invented low-cost machine that
make sanitary pads.
Additionally,
during morning assembly teacher’s talks, our science teachers introduced
essential research related skills that should be practiced by students while
conducting research. Moreover, this very department organized five days science
camp at Regional Science center, Dehradun with objectives of popularising
science, inspiring and motivating students to discover and innovate by
developing rational attitude and scientific temperament.
Our
department was able to organize morning assembly science quiz, a grand science quiz
nite, three days hands on training on gardening and composting at Navdhanya with
kind cooperation and support of entire family of TCV School Selakui. Additionally,
the department is also honoured to facilitate our students to participate in CTA
Level Science, Mathematics and Environmental Science Exhibition held at Tibetan
Homes Foundation School Mussoorie. With successful participation in the
exhibition, Master Dorjee Gurmey and his team Master Sangay Tashi escorted by
Miss. Sherab Wangmo were selected for 45th Jawaharlal Nehru National
Science, Mathematics and Envirionmental Science Exhibition held at Ahmedabad,
Gujurat from November 23 to November 27, 2018.
Department
of Science was able to celebrate Earth Day Eve -2018 on April 21, 2018 and
Annual Science Day on October 26, 2018. As part of annual science day, class
wise science project presentations were started from October 15 onwards. The
last leg of the presentation was completed on October 30.
To
integrate Information Communication Technology (ICT) within the school curriculum,
our department was able to launch its blog, youtube channel and an online
journal for updating various events and programs, and awaking students about
science in general.
Success
of all those activities of Department of Science had been success of our humble,
sincere, hardworking, and cooperative science teachers. Moreover, our
department was also indebted to many helpful and kind people who had been so
kind in supporting and guiding at every milestone of our success. With this
medium, our department would like to pay our sincere gratitude and hearty
acknowledgement to all those who had unconditionally helped us throughout the journey
of Department of science.
