Science educators believe that the lab is an important means of instruction in science. The objectives achieved through the use of lab in science classes are:
FACILITIES
CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education)
CBSE is an autonomous organization under the aegis of the ministry of Human Resource Development established in the year 1929 at Ajmer. CBSE offers the latest curriculum, having excellent initiatives such as Entrepreneurship, Bio-technology, fashion studies, life sciences and Disaster management. CBSE is the only National Curriculum which is offered by all leading schools in all parts of the country including all major metros such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Calcutta. Of the top hundred schools in India, more than 90 schools have CBSE curriculum, endorsing CBSE’s leadership in Indian Education.
Inter Active Board
We have introduced ‘Smart Class’ Program developed by TATA Class Edge. The purpose of the Smart Class program is to empower Teachers with technology right inside their classrooms. The program enables the teachers to use digital resources such as graphics, animations, 3D images and video clips in addition to the completely new multi-sensory learning experience for students, and helps them improve their academic performance.
Math Lab
Math Lab is a comprehensive solution that builds an appealing world full of colour, touch, sound and exploration around the subject of Mathematics.
It aims at enabling students to learn reason, connect ideas and think logically. With its specially designed lab and technologically empowered educational content, the solution fosters individualized and peer learning. Pedagogically appropriate activities are designed as per age group and classes – III to X, based on the NCERT syllabus.
Math Lab fosters mathematical awareness, skill building and positive attitudes. It offers Multiple Teaching and Learning Aids, comprising of Technology Applications, Videos, Manipulative, Measuring Instruments, Tables and Charts, to schools on the basis of three pillars – ‘Imagine, Investigate and Interact’. It offers mathematical concepts to verify mathematical facts and theorems using technological tools like – ‘Geometer’s Sketchpad’ as well as hands-on activities that include a wide variety of mathematical models.
These tools ensure that the students get a thorough grasp of the subject, and train them to think, analyze and articulate logically.
SCIENCE LAB
SKILLS: manipulative inquiry investigative, organizational
CONCEPTS: for e.g. hypothesis, theoretical model
COGNITIVE ABILITIES: critical thinking, problem solving, analysis, synthesis
UNDERSTANDING: the nature of science
ATTITUDES: for e.g. Curiosity, interest, risk taking, objectivity, precision, confidence and satisfaction.
Thus, for science to be taught properly and effectively labs are an integral part of the science curriculum, and our school JVM has a well-equipped, fully furnished and operational laboratory.
