Today I got to know about this website http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/ from TED.com.
I must say his efforts are mindblowing ,who doesn't want to play with such cheap but most importantly self made scientific toys.
we were being taught so many things in science but half of them were really boring especially inorganic chemistry with equations, hard to remember!!
I mean, No body actually knew that time -where and how this is going to be used?so we'd just studied that and passed our exams.But if we would have being taught like this.. giving live examples n experiments ..then may be who knows -things would have been different.
I still remember a fun magic which my uncle shown to me when we went to Agra at his place during summer holidays.I cannot forget how he made water level to rise in a glass which was kept upside down with a blown off candle inside it.
That day I learned- a burning candle needs oxygen.:)
But no issues as at least now I can get creative seeing these experiments and can amuse my child and let her give shape to her imagination with the help of theory and so called practicals.Then she will definitely love her studies..Hope fully!!
