The students also enjoyed different educational shows and movies. The Holographic Movie explained the different systems of our body while the Blue Planet- Science on Sphere Show showcased planetary and mystical galaxies and the universe which enthralled the students. The session in the science activity room was enjoyed the most by the students as many activities were based on simple logic and principles which were demonstrated and explained.
The educational trip was an enriching and exciting experience for the students of Class V. It helped them to explore, gain hands-on-knowledge and experience the many dimensions of science and the impact it has on our lives.
The students had a special assembly in which they shared their experience and knowledge they had acquired during the visit and demonstrated some science facts they had learnt at the 3D show they attended.
