Three Mohammed winners...
Everybody knows the answer
Instruction to observe through the telescope
Understanding my article in news paper for comet Lulin!!
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 31st TAS Municipal School Program.
Today we visited the municipal school no.1 at Rajpur, Gomtipur, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. The ground floor was good for the viewing but there was very stingy smell, so we preferred first floor for viewing and multi-media program both.
The poster display was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends.
The program started with observation of Venus. They were particularly amazed to see its phase. In the beginning, few guests were present to look at phase of Venus. Then students started with real jaw dropping phase of the Venus. During the interactive session that followed, the solar system, sun’s and Lunar Rover’s slides fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that the teachers too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation!
Questions like – how eclipses occur, who was the first Indian to go to space’ created some interesting debates. Today, we were amused to know that those who answered my questions with amazing clarity and were all had first name “Mohammed” who were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: the school teachers for discipline, Stephen Samuel & Jigar Darji for set up and Urvi Vyas for photo documentation. We thank them all for their interest.
