Mrs. Savita Nagananda designed and presented working models and prototypes that demonstrated real-life applications such as Submarines, determining the weight of an elephant, ships floating in marine water etc. The models were interactive in nature and aimed at arousing curiosity, creativity, and scientific thinking among students through hands-on learning.
At the Ward Level Science Exhibition, the project was well received and appreciated by the judges for its originality, clarity of explanation, and effective demonstration of scientific principles. In recognition of its merit, the project was awarded 3rd Prize. The same project was then selected to represent the ward at the Mumbai District Level Science Exhibition, where it earned 2nd Prize, bringing laurels to the school. This achievement highlights Mrs. Savita Nagananda’s commitment to innovative teaching methodologies and her efforts to promote activity-based and experiential learning in science education. Her contribution has enhanced the academic reputation of the school and serves as an inspiration for both students and fellow educators.
