Sri Aurobindo emphasizes that children are capable of intense concentration when a lesson is made interesting and engaging. In keeping with this spirit, the science sessions being conducted at Sri Aurobindo Bal Mandir and Sri Aurobindo Sakti Centre, New Alipore, Kolkata, continued with an engaging session titled “Interesting Experiments with Items of Daily Use” on Friday, 7th August 2026. The session was conducted by Mr. Partha Ghosh and Mr. Arindam Das, eminent resource persons dedicated to the propagation of science. It commenced at 5:30 p.m. and continued for more than two hours, with the participation of teachers and students.
The session provided the students with an opportunity to explore science through simple, hands-on experiments using everyday materials. The experiments covered a range of interesting topics, including volume and mass, air pressure, testing of food items to develop awareness about the food we consume, and light. The practical and interactive approach encouraged the students to observe, experiment, question, and discover scientific principles for themselves. Teachers from Birbhum attended the session in person, while teachers from Siliguri participated through a live online session. The enthusiastic participation of both students and teachers made the programme an engaging and enriching experience, bringing the wonder of science closer to everyday life.
