Discovering the Wild: Lessons from a Zoo

Discovering the Wild: Lessons from a Zoo      Vacations are the perfect time to explore and learn. Teachers often assign exciting activities to help students discover new things. One science teacher gave students an interesting task: visiting a zoo or zoological museum. Here’s an example of how to prepare for and make the most of such an experience:   Dear Students, The Thrill of the Wild Have you ever seen an elephant run? Or watched elephants fight? I had an incredible experience in 1998 at Kaziranga Sanctuary in Assam, one of the few places in India where the majestic one-horned rhinoceros can be spotted.

 Fostering Inquiry: Reflections of a Vijnana Doot in Chhote Scientists Namaste, I am  Jidnyasa,  working as a Vijnana Doot , a teacher at the Chhote Scientists program at the Educational Activity Research Centre, Jnana Prabodhni, Pune. With a Master’s degree in science, I'm passionate about nurturing curiosity and fostering inquiry in school students for science. During the Chhote Scientists sessions, I am deeply engaged in activity-based science education. In this narration, I will share my experience of how I prepared, practiced, and what I observed during Chhote Scientists sessions. I feel glad to share my reflections during the journey.  As I geared up to prepare for a session on light for the 8th-standard students in the Chhote Scientists program....... Before diving into the inquiry-based session planning, I decided to perform a concept analysis of light. With a notebook in hand, I started jotting down different keywords (attributes) associated with light. The...

द हिलिंग नाईफ !

  द हिलिंग नाईफ ! सतरा वर्षांचा जॉर्ज , व्हाइट रशियन नौदलामध्ये लेफ्टनंट पदावर अधिकारी होता.   बोल्शेविक सेनेच्या एका गटाविरुद्ध   उघडलेल्या आघाडीवर   त्याला पाठवले जाते. किनारपट्टीवर उतरल्यावर त्याच्या तुकडीला बोल्शेविक खंदकावर हल्ला करण्याचा आदेश मिळतो. जॉर्ज त्याच्या तुकडीचे नेतृत्व करत खंदकावर घमासान हल्ला चढवतो. तुफान गोळाबारी सुरू होते. खंदकात उतरून संगिनी आणि तलवारींचा खणखणाट सुरू होतो. जखमी सैनिकांना मागे तळावर पाठवून त्यांची जागा नवे सैनिक घेत असतात. लढत असताना जॉर्जच्या एका मित्राला गोळी लागते. गोळी लागलेली दिसताच जॉर्ज त्याच्या जागी कुमक पाठवून ,   मित्राला सुश्रुषेसाठी मागे तळावर पाठवतो.          संध्याकाळनंतर लढाईचा जोर ओसरतो. दोन्ही बाजू योग्य अंतर राखत माघार घेत आपापले मोर्चे पक्के करतात. रात्री तळाकडे परत आल्यावर जॉर्ज जखमी सैनिकांची चौकशी करत मशाली आणि शेकोट्यांच्या उजेडात   तात्पुरत्या उभारलेल्या उपचार केंद्रात आपल्या मित्राला शोधून काढतो. मित्र बराच जखमी होऊन ग्लानीत गेलेला असतो. तळावरील परिचार...
