Matchstick Models & Other Science Experiments by Arvind Gupta
Requirements: PDF Reader, 950 KB
Overview: This booklet attempts to give a glimpse of some of the experiments and toys designed as part of the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme. Intensive use is made of things which are commonly available and with which the children are familiar. Many of the experiments were designed, often with the help of village children and teachers, in response to the dismal poverty existing in most village school. Today science has become synonymous with fancy glassware and expensive laboratories. The learning of science is being equated with an ability to mug up definitions and formulae. But is this good science? Science, in essence, is a viewpoint – a worldview, an ability to critically examine phenomenon. It is an ability to see patterns, structures, sequences, trends, and commonalities, regularities and generalities – in short, an ability to perceive and discover an order in the universe. From this point of view every object is a piece of science apparatus and every child is a budding scientist. To explore answers to her/his questions is the basic right of every child.
