What has Rangoli got to do with science? The teachers and students of a school in Hubbali thought differently and the result was a Rangoli exhibition on science.
On Friday, visitors to the National Education Society’s Girls English School at Deshpande Nagar here were attracted by the special exhibition organised as part of the annual day of the school. Over 10 students of Classes 8 and 9 worked sinceThursday for the exhibition based on biology subjects.
Right from the cell to the skeleton, there were rangolis on different subjects. “We have as many as 18 rangolis drawn on science subjects. The endeavour was aimed at using the traditional art as a tool for teaching science,” science teacher of the school Savita Kulkarni said.
Students, teachers and parents and the dignitaries for the annual gathering appreciated the effort and the novel teaching aid after seeing the science rangoli.
The nucleus, the digestive system, the respiratory system, the brain, the kidneys and even the human skeleton had been effectively brought out using rangolis. “The graphic representations always help the students to understand the subjects better. We just made them to learn it through the art of rangoli,” Ms Kulkarni said.
The rangoli exhibition will be open for the public till Monday.
