Science fair held at Scholastica


Scholastica organised a science fair on its Uttara campus in the city yesterday.

Scholastica Chairperson and former adviser to the caretaker government Yasmeen Murshed inaugurated the daylong fair in the morning.

The students of Scholastica School displayed 69 science projects under the supervision of science faculty.

The projects invented by the young scientists highlighted different aspects of modern science, including subway in Bangladesh, optical messenger, solar energy, space exploration, DNA, brain and memory, HCV and liver disorder and so on.

Talking to The Daily Star, Scholastica chairperson laid emphasis on practice of the science theories, which are taught in the classroom.

The science fair reinforces learning and helps students learn more about what they learn and the world as well, she added.

Tanbin, a student of class VI, showed the evolution of space shuttle from first generation to third generation. The entire group comprising five members of the same class demonstrated the project confidently.

Anika Nayeer Rahman of the same class made the structure of molecules of graphite of her own. The lone member of the project explained the smallest element of graphite through graphical presentation and concrete structure made of foam linking with pipe.
