KULGAM, NOVEMBER 08 :
The Deputy Commissioner Kulgam, Athar Aamir Khan (IAS) today inaugurated a two-day Mega Science Festival organized by Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) Aamnoo Kulgam.
The festival witnessed enthusiastic participation from students who showcased innovative scientific models and projects, reflecting creativity, curiosity, and practical learning.
Addressing the gathering, the DC said that the two-day Science Festival is a commendable initiative that provides students an opportunity to learn, explore, and present their innovative ideas.
KPS students participated in the following events:
Poster competition we got first position.
Seminar competition we got 2nd position.
Nirdy Snakes we got 3rd position.
Quiz competition 2nd position.
Student parliament Ist position.
National Science Seminar 2025 was held today at SCERT Srinagar. 22 students of 11 districts participated in the event . Among them only one student selected for national level. From our school Nimrah Altaf participated in the event and impressed the audience with her presentation.
Our student Nimra Altaf of class 9th secured first position at district (Kulgam) level competition of National Science Seminar - 2025 titled "Quantum Age Begins - Potentials and Challanges" and qualified for UT level.
Our student Nimra Altaf and Saba Waseem of class 9th secured Second position at district (Kulgam) level competition of National Science Seminar - 2025 and qualified for UT level.
The school conducted Science Exhibition at Kashmir Public School, Balsoo on 11-08-2024 for the promotion of Curiosity and Inquiry, Showcasing Creativity and Innovation, Building Confidence, Encouraging Collaboration and Enhancing Communication Skills amount students. This was a resounding success. Our talented students showcased their creativity, scientific acumen, and passion for discovery. The event provided a platform for young minds to explore, experiment, and present their innovative projects. Different Science Models were demonstrated by the students which was judged by the team of Science teachers of the school. The following students were declared winners by the jury.
The project titled "Security Alarm System" aims to protect a house/shop or any other valuable property from any person who tries to enter into without solicited permission. The student has used a 9 volt battery with connector, 9 volt buzzer, 1k resistance, LDR (Light Dependent Resister) laser light, mirror pieces, BC547 transistor and some cardboard for house and boundary model.
The project titled "Volcanic Eruption" involves studying and simulating the fascinating natural phenomenon of volcanic activity. Here are the key points:
Understanding Volcanic Eruptions:
Volcanic eruptions occur when molten rock (magma) from deep within the Earth’s crust rises to the surface through a volcano vent.
These eruptions release hot gases, ash, and rock fragments.
Project Components:
Students can create a model volcano using materials like clay, playdough, or papier-mâché.
The ‘volcano’ represents the vent, and the ‘magma’ is simulated using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.
Demonstration:
Place the baking soda inside the volcano model.
Pour vinegar into the vent.
The chemical reaction between baking soda (base) and vinegar (acid) produces carbon dioxide gas, causing the ‘eruption.’
Learning Objectives:
Understand the science behind volcanic eruptions.
Explore the role of magma, gas pressure, and vent structures.
Observe how volcanic materials (lava, ash, and gases) impact the environment.
Creativity and Presentation:
Encourage students to decorate their volcano models realistically.
Provide information about famous volcanic eruptions (e.g., Mount Vesuvius, Mount St. Helens) to enhance context.
Remember, this project not only teaches scientific concepts but also sparks curiosity about Earth’s dynamic processes. 🌋🔥🌟
The project titled "Hydraulic Lift" aims to be useful for lifting any heavy object in the cheapest manner it could be applicable at any construction site at any garage for lifting vehicle etc.
The student has used some syringes as pistons, cardboard, drip sets, some glue to paste the syringes (pistons)
Congratulations to all participants, and may their scientific journeys continue to flourish! 🚀🔍🌱
