🔬 Science Activity Session Successfully Conducted 🔬

Today, on 26 May 2026, the team of Shivalik Children Science Foundation successfully conducted a Science Activity Session at Saraswati Public School for the students of Classes 9th to 12th.

Around 50 students participated enthusiastically in the session. The session was facilitated by Mr. Harsh*t Samant and Mr. Vinay Joshi.

During the session, several interesting science demonstrations and experiments were presented, including:
• Fire Extinguisher Demonstration
• Electroplating
• Acid-Base Indicator
• Electromagnet
• Solubility of Compounds
• Bernoulli’s Principle
• Pressure with Depth
• Free Fall Activity
• Hydrocarbon as a Good Fuel
and many more interactive demonstrations.

The students showed great curiosity, enthusiasm, and active involvement throughout the session. We sincerely thank the management and staff of Saraswati Public School for their cooperation and support.

“Developing Scientific Temper Through Practical Learning”

Day 4 of the workshop at Kheema Bisht SMIC, Khatima, was particularly special as it became a collaborative learning experience between the students of and the students of . The students of NPS, who had been trained by the Shivalik Children Science Foundation (SCSF), actively participated in the workshop by assisting in conducting activities and supporting the facilitator, Harsh*t Samant from SCSF, in various tasks during the session.

This workshop provided the NPS students with valuable exposure to the practical ex*****on and management of science workshops, allowing them to observe and understand how interactive learning sessions are conducted. At the same time, the students of Kheema Bisht SMIC actively engaged in the activities and learning process. The session thus became a platform for peer learning, collaboration, leadership development, and scientific interaction among students from both schools.

One of the activities conducted during the workshop was inspired by and is commonly conducted under Bal Vigyan Khojshala by Ashutosh Upadhyay Ji. Incorporating this activity into the session added further educational value and connected the students with innovative approaches to experiential science learning.

The workshop reflected the vision of the Shivalik Children Science Foundation in creating a student-driven learning environment where learners not only participate but also contribute to the teaching and facilitation process.

Science Awareness Session Conducted by Shivalik Children Science Foundation

Today, Shivalik Children Science Foundation organized a science awareness and educational session at Atal Utkrisht Inter College, phulchaur , haldwani for the students of classes 9 and 10. The main objective of the session was to promote scientific thinking, curiosity, and practical learning among students.

During the session, students learned about the concept of pressure difference and its applications in daily life. The team also explained why hydrocarbons are considered good fuels and discussed their importance and uses. Another topic covered during the session was surface tension, where students were introduced to its properties and examples through simple demonstrations and explanations.

The session was conducted in an interactive and engaging manner, encouraging students to actively participate and ask questions related to science and everyday phenomena.

Representing Shivalik Children Science Foundation, Sumit Pandey and Gaurav Pandey were present during the program. The foundation continues to work towards spreading scientific awareness and encouraging young minds through educational outreach activities.

Project उम्मीद – Day 3 at Kheema Bisht

Day 3 continued with exciting hands-on activities and scientific exploration across all classes.

🔹 Classes 4th & 5th
Students were introduced to the concept of motion and action–reaction through engaging activities like the Balloon Rocket and a rotating bottle experiment using straws. These activities helped them observe how force and motion work in everyday life in a simple and interactive manner.

🔹 Classes 6th to 8th
Students performed activities based on Acid–Base Indicators. Around 8 different sample substances were tested using 4 indicators — Litmus Paper, pH Paper, China Rose Extract, and Turmeric Indicator. The session encouraged observation, comparison, and scientific thinking.

🔹 Classes 9th to 11th
Senior students also explored Acid–Base Indicators in detail along with additional experiments on Electrolysis of Brine and Reaction of Acid with Metal. These activities helped students understand chemical reactions, gas formation, and practical applications of chemistry concepts.

Today we successfully started our new project with classes 7th to 10th. It was day one of discussions, and the response from the kids and management was great! The Shivalik Children Science Foundation team was present throughout to guide everyone.
A major milestone today was the formal establishment of the Science Club "Scikart" 🧪✨ This club will be our main platform for all upcoming experiments, models, and activities.
This was just the intro and nomination phase. Regular, continuous sessions will officially begin in July and run through the academic year until March 2027. We have a lot of exciting hands-on workshops planned!
A big thank you to the team members who made today smooth. The final list of nominated student names will be out very soon. Let's work together to make this year-long project a huge success! 👍

Project Umeed – Day 5 at Osmic Academy
Under the project umeed another exciting and knowledge-filled experimental session was successfully conducted today.

Class 3rd to 5th Activities:
Students explored science through fun and interactive demonstrations:
1. Density Experiment
2. Hole in the Hand Illusion
3. Power of a Group – Two notebooks with interlocked pages were used to demonstrate the immense force produced by friction and collective interaction.

Class 6th to 8th Activities:
1. Density Experiment
2. Ignition Temperature Demonstration.
3. Sound Activity

*Class 9th to 12th Activities:*
1. Electrolysis of Brine
2. Electromagnet

Along with the experimental sessions, assignments based on students’ observations and scientific understanding were also provided to Classes 6th to 8th and 9th to 12th to strengthen their analytical and observation skills.

The curiosity, excitement, and participation of students made the session highly successful and inspiring. Science becomes more meaningful when concepts are learned through practical experiences.

Today, Harsh*t Samant and Sumit Pandey from the Shivalik Children Science Foundation attended the Workshop on Experiential Physics organized at M.B. Govt. P.G. College, Haldwani in collaboration with Science in Service of Society (SSS), Uttarakhand.

The session was conducted by the renowned physicist and educator Prof. H. C. Verma sir. It was truly a memorable and inspiring experience — from studying concepts through his legendary books to attending his workshop live and learning directly from him.

Such experiences motivate us even more to continue spreading scientific thinking and curiosity among students through the initiatives of Shivalik Children Science Foundation✨

Today marked the successful completion of the 4th Day of Project Umeed at Osmic Academy Khatima. The day was filled with exciting scientific experiments, hands-on activities, and observation-based learning experiences for students of different classes.

Class 5th to 8th students explored the topic “Methods of Separation”, where they learned and performed activities based on:
• Sieving
• Hand Picking
• Magnetic Separation
• Sedimentation
• Decantation
• Filtration and more.

Class 6th to 8th students performed three engaging experiments based on:

1. Transpiration
2. Chromatography
3. Acid-Base & Neutralization Reaction

Class 9th to 12th students conducted experiments on:

1. Electroplating
2. Pressure Variation with Depth

To strengthen observation and analytical skills, students of classes 6th–8th and 9th–12th were also given observation-based assignments containing 10 questions related to the experiments performed.
