The document summarizes the efforts of Jusco School South Park to create an innovative science park using recycled materials from a junkyard. A team of teachers and students worked together to design, build, and test various science exhibits and experiments using locally sourced junk. Their goal was to make science more engaging and hands-on for students. The science park was successfully created at a very low cost and has helped improve student performance and engagement with science concepts. It has also promoted more innovative teaching methods at the school.

4. What we feel….
Problems are an inevitable part of life and this world .
We, at JSSP take every problem as a gift in our hands…. an
opportunity to explore, innovate and create. Off we set ….looking for
such problem areas in the school because charity starts at home …..
We talked to our teachers & junior students…….
We feel that quality education can lead not only to solution of many
problems but can also change life of many people.
c

5. What we feel….
……some students told us about their friends
bullying them …We sorted out the matter
through an open discussion.
c

6. What we feel….
…some were annoyed with their friends fighting during the
break …students bringing flashy things to school …and using
abusive language …We held a meeting with the student‟s
cabinet & safe club and arrived on a mutual consensus of
„Duties‟ during the break…..
c

7. What we feel….
But there was one very intelligent student , Akshit , who had a
different kind of problem ….he had a problem in understanding
one of the concepts in Science „direct proportionality between
time period & length of pendulum‟ …..

8. What we feel….
Investigating further into the problem , we came to know
that it was not only Akshit‟s problem ….it was the problem
of his classmates too…not only this the other students in
Std. VI – X were finding it difficult to understand the
heavyweight concepts in Science …

9. What we feel….
…..one of our own classmate was struggling to understand
the “ Double Helical Structure of DNA” …..we were now
really concerned about it….

10. What we feel….
Science is the basis for reasoning & provides solution to
problems…What if Science itself starts posing a problem ?
This problem is really serious and grave as it would affect
the lifelong learning of students …
c

11. What we imagine….
..We thought to approach our Science Teacher,
Coordinator & Principal ……. We fixed up a meeting with
them…
c

12. What we imagine….
There was a lot of discussion & brainstorming ….and then
Why not create a
our Principal Ma‟am gave us an idea…
science park ? The idea was brilliant but was it
really possible ???

13. What we imagine….
…….we were clear about our goals but we did not know how
yet the most important thing was
to do it ......
that we were determined to do it !!!
We will do it !!!

14. What we imagine….
…..We wanted to create a Science park where students
develop the tendency to learn Science in a play –way
method …..

15. What we imagine….
…..JSSP is blessed with an excellent infrastructure…wide
lush green ground where this park could be created … but
we needed the raw material for creating this park …..We
started looking for alternatives …..

16. EXPLORING VARIOUS ALTERNATIVES
Create durable & robust science
equipments using locally available
material
COST VERY HIGH !
Buy Science
equipments from
a branded
agency

17. The Breakthrough Idea….
Again our Principal Ma’am showed
us the way …. She had observed
junk material present in a JUSCO
Junkyard which was lying useless
for past many years……. The junk
could be used to create gadgets…if
used meaningfully…

18. What we imagine….
We surveyed the junkyard & consulted our Science
teacher …Finally we were able to chalk out a plan for
the same …… and that’s how we moved on towards our
story of change …

19. THE STORY OF DESIGNING THE PARK

20. Visit to the junkyard for a survey

44. What did we save ?
• Market price of one readymade gadget – 15,000
• No. of gadgets in science park – 10
• Total market price - 1,50,000
• Total amount of money spent in developing science park =
Welding charges + Cost of paint
= 10,000
• Amount of money saved – 1,50,000 - 10 ,000 = 1,40,000

45. How it helped the students ?
Teachers started using Science Park for the benefit of
the students ….
• No. of periods allotted for visiting science park –One/ month /class
• periods allotted classes visiting the science month 22
No. ofTotal number offor visiting science park –One/ park – /class
• Usage of classes visiting the science park 22
Total numberin terms of periods per month –– 22student periods /month
Usage in terms of periods per month – 22 student periods /month
• Number of gadgets -10
• Number of concepts explained though the gadgets -13

learning by
doing

47. TANGIBLE & INTANGIBLE

the world “ – Mahatma Gandhi
We at JSSP truly lived up to this saying !!

51. The Road Not Taken
by: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
