Seniors show us the way... Monday, 4th April

‘Dusk to Dawn’ saw its dawn in the PPT on Fossil Fuels presented by Mrs. Ravinder, a senior school teacher, and her students on Monday, 4th April. They took special care to make a presentation, most befitting the age group to be addressed. The language was simple, the pictures, impressive and the colours, attractive.

The presentation began with the question, “What are Fossil Fuels”?

This was very well explained with pictures and bulleted information which made it easy for the students to understand. A detailed discussion followed on the various kinds of Fossil Fuels. Coal, Petroleum and Natural Gas were clearly understood with the help of diagrams.

The importance and the advantages of Fossil Fuels were also discussed. The participation showed that they had understood the concept of ‘Form’ and ‘Function’ well. The next discussion was on ‘Alternative Sources of Energy’. The 11^th graders, in response to one of the questions, beautifully brought out the responsibilities which the young children can also shoulder. As one of the students said, “When children speak to adults about what can be done to save the earth and the environment, adults take it more seriously than otherwise. It makes a larger impact on them and they take action faster.”

Students making notes

In the coming weeks, the students researching on Fossil Fuels, will be reflective and work on the various aspects to bring about a change in the attitudes of people. We are indeed very grateful to Mrs. Ravinder and the 11^th Graders for this wonderful presentation.
