All the Science teachers and a few representatives from classes five to nine had the opportunity of visiting the National Science Exhibition held at Exhibition Grounds, Nampally, Hyderabad on Wednesday, 27th November 2002.

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) organized the Jawaharlal Nehru Science Exhibition for children from 26th November to 1st December 2002. The main aim of the exhibition was to develop well- defined abilites and skills such as spirit of enquiry, creativity, objectivity etc.

This exhibition offers an opportunity for the student to express and exchange their creative ideas and help them to learn the methods of Science and develop their problem-solving skills and creative ability.

The Abhyasa team found the following models very interesting :
(a) Gharelu fridge - a fridge that functions without electricity.
(b) Poor man's cooker - based on the principle of non-conductors and insolation.
(c) Waste water treatment plant that envisages the treatment of industrial waste water to prevent any kind of environmental pollution.
(d) Hydrophonics
(e) Haemoglobinometer - an innovative device to estimate the percentage of haemoglobin.

The team returned fully charged and we hope to see these young scientists at Abhyasa in action soon.

Perfection through Practice
