Learning doesn’t happen from books as much as it happens from doing and this idea gave birth to experiential learning, which MRIS believes in!”
A Space India session was organised by MRIS-21C in collaboration with SPACE, the pioneer organization working towards development of science and astronomy in India.
Grades VI-VIII had a Hydro rocketry session which started with the introduction of the principles upon which the launching of a rocket in space works. In addition to this, different parts of the rockets and its functions was discussed with the students.
Grades III-V had a Lift off – launch of pop rocket.
The session started with the introduction of properties of air and its application. In addition to this rockets and their configuration, laws of motion ( newton’s third law) were explained to the students in an east and effective manner. An introduction to aerodynamics was also given.
The experience provided them with collaborative learning opportunities, divergent and critical thinking and provided practical knowledge to enhance their capabilities.
