PROJECT WORK:

The project work aims to apply pupil’s knowledge and understanding daily life problems, promotes habit of critical thinking and helps the students to adopt the scientific method of working. Learners can perform at their own convenience. They also learn to plan and execute their ideas within a given timeframe. While appreciating learning science by doing and living, project work widens the mental ability of students. The students get an opportunity to learn several skills such as observation and inference, reporting etc. A project conducted in a group also promotes social interaction and cooperation among all the members.

Various approaches may be adopted while taking up a project work. Such approaches may be based upon modes like building an apparatus, project that involves experimentation, survey based projects, project based on observing nature, project through learner sheet, project based on use of available data, project based on field work, project based on exploration, project that generates information etc.
