Science sessions were held at Shahid Kamel Model High School and Shahid Ali Ahammad Govt Girls High School in Tala, Satkhira. These sessions, led by Farzana Akter Lima and Riaz Sheikh, offered students valuable insights into essential scientific concepts, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical experiments to enhance their understanding and enthusiasm for the subject.
In the Chemistry segment, students were introduced to various fundamental topics, particularly focusing on chemical reactions. The facilitators conducted an engaging experiment demonstrating the reaction between alkalis and acids, which produced carbon dioxide. This hands-on experience allowed students to observe the reaction firsthand, deepening their understanding of the mechanisms and outcomes of chemical reactions. Following the experiment, a thorough discussion was held to elucidate the experimental setup, the observed reactions, and the rationale behind the results, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of the subject matter.
The Physics segment concentrated on the principle of density, a crucial concept for understanding the interaction of objects with liquids. Through an interactive experiment, students witnessed how saltwater enabled objects to float, which helped them visualize the connection between density and buoyancy. This practical experience facilitated their comprehension of how density influences whether objects sink or float in a liquid. Subsequent discussions allowed students to analyze their observations and understand how the results corresponded with theoretical physics principles.
The session focused on imparting scientific knowledge and aimed to instill a sense of environmental responsibility among students. They were encouraged to apply their knowledge thoughtfully and contribute to environmental conservation by adopting sustainable practices.
This interactive and educational experience effectively bridged the gap between theory and practice, inspiring students to explore the wonders of science with curiosity and enthusiasm.
