At our school, we believe that the best learning happens when students can see, feel, and experience concepts firsthand. Engaging students in hands-on activities helps them understand scientific concepts and builds curiosity and confidence. This month, we brought science to life through multiple exciting experiments that captured students’ attention and deepened their learning in meaningful ways.

In one experiment, students explored how colours absorb heat by using sunlight to pop balloons. They filled balloons of different colours with air, placed them in direct sunlight, and used magnifying glasses to pop the balloons and determine which colors would pop the fastest. This simple yet powerful demonstration helped students grasp the science behind heat absorption and energy transfer in an interactive and memorable way.

In another experiment, students focused on lab safety. With careful supervision and proper safety measures, students coated their hands in propane-filled bubbles and briefly set their hands on fire. By doing so, they experienced firsthand how propane burns quickly while the water on their hands keeps them safe and unburned. This experiment was not just about fire—it was about understanding chemical reactions, heat transfer, and the importance of respecting lab safety rules.

These experiences are just a glimpse of how we make learning engaging and meaningful at our school. By providing students with opportunities to interact with science in a hands-on way, we help them develop critical thinking skills, build confidence, and see the real-world applications of what they learn in class.
