Science Fair held at Canadian International School

Students of Canadian International School (CIS), Bangalore recently conducted a ‘Science Fair' at its campus. The core idea behind this initiative was to develop inclination of students towards science and technology and widen their mindset in innovation. The students worked alone or in pairs, investigating questions and showcased creativity on varied subjects and used scientific methods to investigate things that interested them and reported their discoveries. Technology was innovatively used in all the projects by the students.

“Science Fairs are the culmination of research, hands on work, and experimentation. The enjoyable part is to witness the transfer of knowledge gained when a student explains and answers questions in a thought out way to every person that is interested in the "why" and "how" of the work the students have done” - Mr. Allan Villiers - K–8 Principal.

The students were very enthusiastic to perform their experiments. Students learnt a lot through research about their projects and the hands on experiments .It was a fun filled day for ALL! - Ms. Poonam Singh – Grade 4A Homeroom teacher.

The Science Fair experiments of Grade 4 were excellent. Children were able to relate to the topic they were handling and they were also enjoying themselves. - Nisha Prasad, Parent

The Science Fair was great fun! The parents, teachers, and students enjoyed my project on 'Static Electricity' as I made a Can roll towards a charged Balloon .As soon as we finished showing experiments we went to watch the ones done by other grades. I enjoyed a lot!-Vignesh

My experiment was about " Surface tension:" and "Capillary Action" .Teachers and students were eagerly listening to my explanations of the projects I had done. I worked hard on my projects and posters. It was fun doing and sharing the experiments with so many people. - Yui Okamoto

The Science Fair was really exciting as I got to talk to many people and showed them my wonderful experiment on Reflection of Light in a Smoke Box. People could easily see and understand the process of reflection of light as it fell on a plane mirror and was reflected. -Tasnuva

Stating that it was an eye-opening experience for all, Mr. Shane Kells, Head of School, Canadian International School expressed his views on how schools play a crucial role in moulding future scientists & how modern scientific technology has brought in tremendous development in various fields thereby improving the quality of life. When students work together, they learn to appreciate each other's' ideas and build-up collaborative and problem solving skills, he added.
