DEPRTMENT OF SCIENCE -GRADE 11 F & 12 F

The Drop-Down Day activities helped the students not only enjoy them

but also learn a great deal from it. With the same perspective in view

grade 11- F students utilized the Drop Down Day to frame the

classroom’s theoretical discussions within real-world contexts to

develop relevant skills. The debate was on the topic-: Future Fuel-On

the road to a Hydrogen Economy’ based on the subtheme sustainability.

The students confidently presented themselves before the audience and

the teachers. Some participants argued for the motion and some against

the motion. The teams were well prepared, and they used various skills

like overstatement, definition, rhetoric, irony etc. to convince the

audience. The participants, armed with statistics and data validated
made their arguments more emphatic with right facial expressions, body

movements and gestures. The peculiarity of the day was that students
stepped into the class rooms with the ideas they explored, different

views on the selected topic whereby they bid good bye to the school

books for the day to take up the role of a teacher thereby sharing their

ideas to the class in common. Grade 12 F students chose a topic on the

sub theme Opportunity in the field of Biomedical Engineering and

Artificial Intelligence, The scope of Polarization in Biomedical

engineering and recent technologies developed by Artificial Intelligence.

A seminar, power point presentation and discussion were the activities

of the day. Students discussed on the scope of the same in the medical

field, and the recent technologies that used AI like SIRI to self-driving

cars etc. Finally the students gathered their thoughts and collectively

wrote down the ideas they acquired for the day to be displayed in their

class room.
