The document discusses the purpose and objectives of organizing a science exhibition in schools. The main goals are to develop scientific attitude in students, foster creativity, and raise awareness of the role of science and technology in socioeconomic development. The exhibition aims to stimulate interest in science among students, inculcate a scientific spirit, explore scientific talents, and encourage problem-solving approaches. It also provides opportunities for students and teachers to learn from each other and popularize science in the community.
Benefits of Organizing a School Science Exhibition
1. INTRODUCTION
ASSIGNMENT
Topic: SCIENCE EXHIBITION
Exhibitions are effective modes of mass
communication and instruction. If it is organised by
the pupils themselves they get opportunity for self-activity.
Special talents of the pupils get revealed and
creativity can be fostered. The exhibitions arranged in
schools are usually planned to communicate novel
ideas to children, their parents, and the general public
alike. Mathematics exhibition, science exhibition, etc.,
are at present organised effectively. Observing
excursions organised elsewhere also is of educational
value.
2. CONTENT
The purpose of science exhibition is to develop scientific
attitude in the young minds of our country to make them
realize the interdependence of science, technology and
socio-economic development.
The Organisation of science, exhibitions also provide
opportunities to all participating students, teachers and
visitors to get acquainted with different kind of equipment,
devices and techniques. The exercise enables the students
and teachers to generate scientific ideas for addressing
various problems of the society and environment.
Objectives of the Exhibition.
To provide a forum for children to pursue their natural
curiosity and inventiveness to quench their thirst for
creativity.
To develop critical thinking about global issues to
maintain healthy and sustainable societies in today`s
environment.
To apply mathematics and information technology to
visualise and solve problems pertaining to everyday
life.
To make children feel that science is all around us and
we can gain knowledge as well as solve many problems
3. also by relating the learning process to the
physical and social environment.
To lay emphasis on the development of science
and technology as a major instrument for
achieving goals of self-reliance and socio-economic
and socio-ecological development.
To highlight the role of science and teaching for
producing good quality and environment friendly
materials for the use of society.
To create awareness about environmental issues
and concerns and inspiring children to devise
innovative ideas towards their mitigation.
To encourage children to visualise future of the
nation and help them become sensitive and
responsible citizens.
environment to analyse how science has
developed and is affected by many diverse
individuals, cultures, societies and.
4. These objectives may be achieved by presenting the
exhibits through improvisations of science kits and
various devices. It will be an exciting experience of
creativity and innovations for children and
teachers. The models created and presented will
provide solutions to many present and future socio-economic
problems particularly those confronted in
the rural areas, using available materials and local
resources.
The exhibitions will help children and teachers to
learn from each other experiences and motivate
them to design and develop something new and
novel. It will also provide a medium for popularizing
science and increasing awareness among the public
towards it.
Expected outcome of the science exhibition:
It will stimulate interest in science and
technology among students.
It will inculcate scientific spirit in younger
generations;
It will also help to explore and encourage
scientific and technological talent among
children;
5. The event will provide a sense of pride in their
talent;
Such event will encourage a problem solving
approach by developing the appropriate
technologies, especially for rural areas ;
It will also help to integrating scientific ideas
with daily life situations;
Science exhibition will provide exploratory
experiences and promote creative thinking and
manipulative skills among children through self
devised exhibits or models or simple
apparatus;
It will also help to popularize science among
masses and create an awareness regarding the
role of science and technology in socio-economic
and sustainable growth of the
country;
6. Key aspects of the exhibition
The following key aspects of the exhibition may
be kept in mind for participation:
(i) The participating school/team will have to bear
all expenses related to participation in the
event.
(ii) The participating school can put up a
maximum of two exhibits/projects/models
(iii) A school team may be represented by a

the venue city of exhibition
(v) The request for participation along with the
enclosed registration form and fee is to be sent
directly to the Respective Regional Officer.
(vi) The exhibit/model may be either (a) A
working model (b) An investigation-based
project
(vii) The exhibit/project may include
7. • working model to explain a
concept, principle or a process
• An indigenous design of a
machine/device
• An innovative/inexpensive
design or technique
• Application of basic principles of
Science/Technology
• Scheme/design of a device or
machine to reduce production cost
• Investigation based study.
CONCLUSION
The Organisation of the exhibitions envisages
that children and teachers would try to analyse all
aspects of human endeavour with a view to
identify where and how the new researches and
developments in science and technology can bring
and sustain progress of society leading to
improvement for the challenges of life. Science
