GAS ROCKETRY
Chemical reaction of ingredients when mixed cause the rockets to lift off. Students learn and experiment with various quantities of different substances and the time for the reaction to take place. They note down the results in their worksheets. One kit is given to each group of 3 students and they have to work as a team to complete the task.
PAPER ROCKETRY
Basic concepts of rockets and their components like nose, tail, fins, etc are explained. Small groups apply team work and make their own paper rockets under careful guidance of our team. Once the rockets are ready, we conduct a small competition to see whose rocket flies the highest. These are air-propelled rockets and some of them go higher than 100 feet.
TELESCOPE MAKING
We’ve come a long way since Galileo first invented the Telescope way back in 1614. Types of telescopes and the components are explained and the students make their own telescope from the kits we give them. Then they go out and see points marked through the telescopes. This also helps them during their night sky telescope observations.
STARGAZING, MYTHOLOGY & TELESCOPE OBSERVATION
As the darkness rolls over, we engage the students in stories of Greek and Indian Gods that the starry skies tell us. We track a few objects on our professional telescopes and each students view the heavens above through the tiny eyepieces.
