Kanya Maha Vidyalaya (KMV), Jalandhar, an autonomous and heritage institution, has always been dedicated to fostering innovations in science education to empower students with inclusive growth. The institution is committed to contributing to women’s empowerment and building a better society, which remains an ongoing effort at KMV, The Heritage Institution.

Recently, KMV Physics faculty member, Dr. Neetu Verma was honoured to be invited to conduct a workshop for newly recruited TGT – Science  teachers from Navodaya Vidyalayas all over the country. The workshop took place at the Navodaya Leadership Institute in Amritsar, under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. This workshop, aimed to create a platform for educators across the country to share knowledge, explore innovative teaching methodologies, and enhance their experimental skills.

Dr. Neetu Verma, accompanied by her team including research scholar, and technical staff, passionately demonstrated various famous Physics concepts. The demonstrations covered a wide range of topics, including Bernoulli’s principle, wave motion, expanding space, Lenz’s law, Coanda effect, Pascal’s law, Archimedes’ principle, circular motion, magnetic forces, optics, electricity, and magnetism.

Dr. Verma explained the concept of waves by using straw and clips, Slinky and a model of wave motion. She explained the resonance with the hair massager. Various Physics principles and Physics laws like Lenz’s law, Newton laws, Bernoulli’s principle were explained using easily available objects like  magnets, metallic rod ,air blower, ball and paper rolls etc. Concept of measuring force was explained with the help of  simple physical balance. She showed instruments like radiometer, plasma globe, hand boiler, and magic tap which fascinated the audience .  Participants performed actively in activities including blowing big balloons , fun with candles and many more which led to enthusiastical exchange of thoughts between the teacher and participants.

Each demonstration was skillfully executed, leaving the participants fascinated and motivated to incorporate similar activities in their classrooms to spark interest and curiosity among their students.
