SCIENCE LAB
The students are provided practical exposure at the laboratories as they act as the practical knowledge hub. The school gives due importance to it and the timetable has appropriate slots for hands-on practice of the students at these hubs. But the question arises- Why hands-on exposure is required?
The theoretical concepts, formulae, and theories play a significant role in adding to the existing knowledge base of the students, but the inquisitiveness of the students gets better satisfied through practical experiments. The students study different concepts in various subjects, especially branches of Science. In Physics, they learn about projectile, in Chemistry, they get familiarized with litmus tests, and so on. When they test it themselves in the laboratory, they not only discover the authenticity of the concept, but understand its practical relevance and significance as well. This hands-on exposure pushes them to understand the practical nuts and bolts in a better way and prepares them better for research from an early stage itself.
The teaching for science at Greenfield Public School is firmly placed on experimentation and investigation, using scientific skills, processes and knowledge to solve problems. Effective teaching and learning of science involves a perpetual state of show and tell.
At Greenfield we combine classroom teaching with laboratory experiments to ensure that our students grasp every concept thoroughly. This way children are able to retain the knowledge for longer when they see the experiments being performed in front of their eyes.
To support this approach the school has three purpose built, fully equipped science laboratories. Science teachers along with the lab assistant plan various demonstrations and experiments to ignite the curiosity and inculcate a scientific temperament in the students.
