Journey with Light & Shadows

🌟 Journey with Light & Shadows 🌟

1. Group Activity

  • 🎭 Shadow Puppet Theatre – Students create shadow characters and tell stories using a torch.
  • 🌞 Sundial – Learn how the Sun’s shadow helps us tell time.
  • 📷 Pinhole Camera – Observe real inverted images formed by light.
  • 🌍🌙 Solar & Lunar Eclipse – Demonstrate how shadows of celestial bodies form eclipses.

2. Model Preparation & Demonstration

Each group will make a model using simple materials like cardboard, paper, and torches. They will come forward one by one for demonstration and explain:

  • The Scientific Concept behind their model.
  • The Life Lesson connected with the concept.

3. Conclusion

At the end, students will participate in a short reflection session and discuss the morals learned.

🌑 Our actions leave shadows — Choose good deeds.
🕒 Time is valuable — Be punctual.
📷 Patience brings clarity — Stay calm like a pinhole camera.
🌅 Darkness is temporary — Never lose hope.
