INTRODUCTION
For supplement the teaching of Science in
classroom and to widen the knowledge of his student a good Science
teacher can in involved his students in a number of Co-curricular
activities such as the Science Club, Scientific hobbies, visiting of place
etc. Through there is no limit to each extracurricular activities and
teacher is fore to undertake one or more such activities in his School
for the benefit of his Students.

SCIENCE CLUB
To candidate the energies of students and
to make proper use of talent of the student’s science may be
organized in the school. Such a club then forms the backbone of the
co-curricular activities in the schools. Such clubs, if properly
organized, will be of great help to create interest in teaching of
science and so now the importance and educational value of such club
is duly recognized. Such club provides better chances to acquaint the
students with various facts and principles of science. Students can
take up any project or a scientific hobby of his choice while
participating in a science club activities helps to link his theoretical
knowledge to the outside world and he gets more opportunities for
self expression and creativity
Participation in various activities of
science club also helps to develop manual skills of the students and he
gets interested in learning of science. The importance of science clubs
in schools in worlds of Dr. W.Danis is “If the future belongs to youth
and to science, then there is a vastly more important place for science
clubs, in the scheme of things”

TYPES OF SCIENCE CLUB
Proudly speaking science clubs can be classified as:
1. The specialized interest science clubs in the category the clubs
take up such projects which deal with some specialized subject. Such
clubs are radio club, photographic club, Natural study club, Aviation
club, astronomical club etc.
2. General science club. These clubs take up any type of science
activities and such clubs are generally known as chemical society,
Zoological society, proton club, physics association etc.
Through these types of clubs have their
advantages but experience has shows that specialized clubs are only
short lived and so a science teacher should proper general science
club. He can undertake some specialized activity as a part of
programmed of such as general science club for a short duration of
time.
AIMS OF SCIENCE CLUB
The major aims of science club can be to develop:

7. 7
