AIR HAS MASS AND OCCUPIES SPACE

AIR HAS MASS AND OCCUPIES SPACE1

Learning becomes more meaningful when students can observe a concept through a hands-on activity. As part of the EVS lesson on Air, students explored two important properties of air — air has mass and air occupies space.

Experiment 1: Air Has Mass

Two balloons were tied to the two sides of a light rod. One balloon was inflated while the other was left uninflated. The side with the inflated balloon bent downward, helping students understand that the air inside the balloon adds mass.

A simple demonstration showing that the inflated balloon adds mass.

Experiment 2: Air Occupies Space

For the second experiment, students used a small transparent plastic box and a balloon. The deflated balloon could be placed inside the box easily, but the inflated balloon could not fit. This simple observation helped students understand that air occupies space.

Demonstrating that an inflated balloon occupies space.

Learning Together

Students watched the demonstrations closely and discussed what they observed. The activities encouraged curiosity, observation and scientific thinking while connecting the EVS concept with everyday objects.

Students engaged in the EVS learning experience.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understood that air has mass.
  • Understood that air occupies space.
  • Developed observation and reasoning skills.
  • Connected classroom learning with real-life experiences.

Reflection

The activities turned a simple EVS concept into an engaging learning experience. By observing the bending rod and the balloon experiment with the box, students were able to understand that air, although invisible, has mass and occupies space.

Communication Corner: Learning Through Fun

Communication Corner1

Learning grammar becomes exciting when children learn by doing! Our Grade 2 students participated enthusiastically in two interactive communication activities designed to build their confidence in speaking and sentence formation

Activity 1: Today and Yesterday Words

Students explored how words change when we talk about the present and the past. They confidently identified pairs such as “I am” – “I was,” “I buy” – “I bought,” and “I can” – “I could.” This activity helped them understand the concept of present and past expressions in a fun and engaging way.

 Activity 2: Let’s Frame a Sentence!

Magic of GROWING PLANTS : Little Gardeners, Big Discoveries: Our Hands-On Journey into Plant Life!

Magic of Growing plants 1

GERMINATION  AND  VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION

Our classroom recently transformed into a bustling miniature laboratory as we explored the magic of how plants grow!

​Using simple chana (gram) and dal seeds, we set up our own mini-gardens. By germinating them ourselves, we got a clear, firsthand look at the secret structures hidden inside. We easily identified the protective seed coat, the nutrient-rich cotyledons, the microscopic embryo, and the tiny baby plant stretching outward.

 

Did you know? Seeds aren’t the only way to grow new life. We also explored vegetative propagation—growing plants without seeds!

​To see this in action, we observed how new shoots sprout directly from the “eyes” of a potato and how a fresh rose bush can climb from a simple stem cutting. It was an amazing, muddy, and unforgettable hands-on science adventure!
