Innovatia at KHS Primary
Conducted by: Snehal Maske teacher & Chitra Birajdar teacher
Topic: Glow-in-the-Dark in Nature
The session explored the fascinating phenomenon of bioluminescence — where some living organisms produce their own light.
Students learned how creatures like fireflies, glow-worms, and certain marine animals glow due to a chemical reaction inside their bodies. Teachers explained how they use this natural light for communication, attracting mates, finding food, and protecting themselves.
It was a wonderful way to show children how science works in everyday life through nature itself.
Hands-on Activity: Lava Lamp with Highlighter Ink
Children made their own mini lava lamps! Using oil, water, and highlighter-colored water, they watched what happens when an effervescent tablet releases gas bubbles. The glowing water moved up and down, creating a beautiful lava-like effect.
The activity made it easy to understand that oil and water do not mix, while also sparking curiosity and lots of "wow" moments.
Innovatia continues to light up young minds by connecting science with wonder and play. ✨
