They loved the pipette fountain, manometer in the bucket, multicoloured water column in the straw and the no cost densitometer the concepts on fluid pressure were enjoyed thoroughly. The chirping bird brought in the concept of sound from oscillations which was further demonstrated by water in the pipe. An idea of wave propagation was given through an exhibit made of straws. Demonstrations on two kinds of charges, conduction, induction and polar nature of water kept the young viewers hooked to the show. But what mesmerised them the most was the LASER light show illustrating the invisibility of light, refraction, reflection and total internal reflection.All the while the young learners noted the observations made and the conclusions drawn, asked questions and requested repeatedly to show the demos again and again, not wanting to let go. After the show, the students were offered a chance to try their hands at some selected experiments and lo and behold - the whole room burst with myriad colours of curiosity, fun and excitement!
