The students witnessed a show on ‘Cosmic Collisions’. The students were in awe as they saw the mysteries of the Universe unfold in front of their eyes.
After the show, the enthusiastic young learners also visited the gallery at the Planetarium.
It was an enriching experience for the students and teachers alike.
Students observed the evolution of transportation through a variety of exhibits that showcased engines of four-wheelers aircrafts.
Simple science experiments, models of ISRO rockets and spaceships were part of the exhibition. Various mirrors were the fun part of the exhibits that students enjoyed.
A special show on a hanging globe about pure water being the most important natural resource was screened.
The truly scintillating view was a virtual tour of the night sky and the cosmos on a specially perforated hemispherical aluminium inner dome. Students explored and appreciated the celestial bodies and everything around them that is natural, and human made.
