1 GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF EXHIBITS AND MODELS
All children are naturally motivated to learnand are capable of learning.The knowledgeacquired by them is the outcome of their ownactivity. Children learn through interaction withnature,people and environment around.Theyconstruct knowledge by connecting new ideas totheir existing ideas. In order to stimulate creativity, inventivenessand the attitude for innovation in science andmathematics, National Curriculum Framework(NCF-2005) emphasizes on activ ities,experiments, technological modules,etc. It alsoencourages implementation of various activitiesthrough a massive expansion of channels suchas organisation of science, mathematics andenvironment exhibition at the national level forschool students, with feeder exhibitions at school/block/tehsil/district/region/state levels. The National Council of Educational Researchand Training (NCERT), New Delhi organisesJawaharlal Nehru National Science,Mathematicsand Environment Exhibition (JNNSMEE) forChildren every year for popularising science,mathematics and environmental educationamongst children, teachers and public in general.This exhibition is a culmination of variousexhibitions organised in the previous year by theStates, UTs and other organisations at district,zonal, regional and finally at the state level.Selected entries from all States and UnionTerritories, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, theNavodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Department of AtomicEnergy Central Schools, Central Board ofSecondary Education aff i l iated Public(independent) Schools and DemonstrationMultipurpose Schools of Regional Institutes ofEducation participate in this national levelexhibition. Like in the past several years suchexhibitions are to be organised from district to statelevel during 2014 - 15 too. These would form thefirst phase of preparation for the JNNSMEE to beorganised in November 2015.
The objectives of the exhibitions are:• to provide a forum for children to pursue
their natural curiosity, creativity, innovationand inventiveness;
• to make children feel that science andmathematics are all around us and we cangain knowledge as well as solve manyproblems by relating the learning processto the physical and social environment;
• to lay emphasis on the development ofscience and mathematics as a majorinstrument for achieving goals of self-rel iance, socio-economic and socio-ecological development of the nation and theworld;
• to analyse how science and mathematicshave developed and are affected by manydiverse individuals, cultures, societies andenvironment;
• to appreciate the role of science andmathematics in meeting the challenges of lifesuch as climate change, opening newavenues in the areas of agriculture, fertiliser,food processing, biotechnology, green en-ergy, disaster management, informationand communication technology, astronomy,transport, games and sports etc.
• to create awareness about environmentalissues and concerns and inspire children todevise innovative ideas towards theirprevention and mitigation.
Children are naturally inquisitive and innovatein response to a variety of problems facing thesociety.The rapidly aspiring human community forwant of more comfort has put tremendouspressure on the limited resources of the worldleading to unsustainable exploitation which mayresult in threatening the very existance of humanlife. Science and Mathematics act as powerfultools for investigating and understanding theworld. They also play a crucial role in solvingproblems confronting the society.To recognise andencourage these powerful tools so that theproblems confronting the society can be overcomethrough science and mathematics led solutionsfor a sustainable World, the theme for the StateLevel Science,Mathematics and EnvironmentExhibition (SLSMEE) for Children – 2014-15 has
4 State Level Science, Mat hem at ics and Environment Exhibi t ion for Ch ildren Guidel ines -SLSMEE-2014-15
been chosen as Science and Mathematics fora Sustainable World.
It is envisaged that children and teacherswould try to analyse all aspects of the role ofscience and mathematics for a sustainableworld.This will enable students and teachers togenerate scientific and mathematical ideas foraddressing various problems of the society.Scientific and mathematical ideas in this contextmay be referred to as innovative ways of doingthings or development of new values throughsolutions that meet new requirements leading tosustainable production and uses.
Children must be aware about how humansociety's unsustainable use of natural resourcesaffects the quality of life and environment.Childrenand teachers should identify where and how newresearches and developments in science,mathematics and technology can bring sustainabledevelopment of society.
The theme for SLSMEE-2014-15 andJNNSMEE-2015, Science and Mathematics fora Sustainable World aims to cover areas suchas-
1. Community Health and Environment;2. Landmarks in Science and

B.SCREENING, EVALUATION AND MONITORING OF
ENTRIES FOR SLSMEE
1. In case Districts/Regional Level Exhibitionsare not being organised by the State/UT,aScreening Committee should be set up to finalisethe selection of entries from various institutionsfor participation in the State Level Science,Mathematics and Environment Exhibition(SLSMEE) for Children.
2. The Screening Committee may consist ofrepresentatives of SISE/SIE/SCERT and someselected representative institution(s). All recordsabout the meeting of the committee should bemaintained. The selection procedure adoptedshould lay more emphasis on the quality of theexhibits rather than quantity. It should be en-sured that the exhibits are not crude andhazardous and have good f inish and arepresentable.
3. The above mentioned Screening Committeeor a separate panel of judges should evaluatethe exhibits according to the criteria of evaluationas mentioned for SLSMEE. Best three exhibitsin each area should be selected; preferablydeveloped by secondary and higher secondarystudents; by the said panel of judges.However,an outstanding exhibit developed by upperprimary students and members of science clubsmay also be considered if the said panel of judgesfeel so.
4. A list of the selected entries of the exhibits andmodels under each area (to be displayed in thestate level exhibition) must be prepared. Thismust contain the name of the exhibit/model,names of the student(s) and guiding teacher(s),name of the school and a brief information aboutthe exhibit (may be in two sentences only).
Such a list may be prepared in accord-ance with the NCERT's un-priced publication "List
of Exhibits", displayed in the National Exhibition. Itis published every year and distributed to allparticipating children, teachers, and visitors duringthe exhibition. A copy of this may be obtained fromthe NCERT, New Delhi.This list may also bedistributed among all participating children andteachers. A copy of this list should be forwardedto NCERT together with the formal report of theexhibition.
Criteria for Evaluation of Exhibits in SLSMEE.In order to keep a uniform criteria for evaluating
the exhibits in all States/UTs and on the basis ofthe feedback received from different agencies, thefollowing criteria for judging the exhibits is suggested(the percentages given in bracket are suggestiveweightagess):
1. Involvement of children’s own creativity andimagination (20 percent);
2. Originality and scientific and mathematicalinnovations in the exhibit/model (15 percent);
3. Scientific thought/ principle/ approach (15 percent);
4. Technical skill, workmanship and craftsman-ship (15 percent);
5. Utility for Society, scalability (15 percent);6. Economic (low cost), portability, durability, etc.
(10 percent); and7. Presentation - aspects like demonstration,
explanation and display (10 percent). [(i) 5% extra weightage may be given to ex-
hibits from rural/backward regions. (ii) 3% extra weightage may be given to ex-
hibits from semi urban regions.]
On the basis of the criteria suggested aboveand also as mentioned in proforma VI,three entries from each area developed bystudents of classes IX-XII may be selected andforwarded to NCERT for consideration forparticipation in JNNSMEE-2015. Howeveroutstanding exhibits developed by upper primary

EXAMPLES OF WRITE-UPS OF THE EXHIBITS DISPLAYED IN EARLIER EXHIBITION ARE GIVEN BELOW
TO FACILITATE STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THE WRITE-UP OF THEIR EXHIBIT.
(A) TWO-IN-ONE HONEY SQUEEZING MACHINE
STUDENT Sacred Heart School,Sonia Thounaojam Porompat , Manipur
TEACHER
Angom Geetarani
INTRODUCTIONHoney is an edible natural fluid. It is a rich source of energy containing many vital nutraints. ThoughManipur has nearly 10,000 bee-keepers but the honey is not appropriatly produced.
In Manipur, honey is extracted from honey comb by squeezing or by rotating manually. This typeof method could not extract all the honey from the honey comb. Instead it loses muscular power,contains impurities and is also a time consuming work. So, it is necessary to make a machine whichcan extract large quantity of honey that contains no impurities.Such type of machine is envisaged inthis model. The present model is an attempt to solve the problems of using excessive muscularpower while extracting honey.
SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE INVOLVED
The following scientific principle is involved(i) When a crank, connected to a sprocket wheel by a chain, is made to rotate, the linear speed ‘v’
is the same for both wheels.
Therefore, v = WR = wr, where R and r are radii of the crank and the sprocket respectively.
Hence, wRWr
, ‘v’ is the speed and W and w are their angular speeds.
Since, R >> r, w >> W.
Therefore, for one rotation of the crank, there will be a number of rotations (depending upon
Rr ) of the sprocket wheel.
(ii) Principle of experiencing a centrifugal force when an object is made to rotate in a direction awayfrom the centre of the circular path.

23State Level Science, Mat hem at ics and Environment Exhibi t ion for Ch ildren Guidel ines -SLSMEE-2014-15
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Wood, Stainless steel, Honey comb, Chain, Sprocket wheel, Paddle, Handle, Pot etc.
CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING
Construction(a) 1 honey comb keeping container.(b) 3 Sprocket wheels, different in size.(c) 1 iron rod in the middle of comb container to attach the comb.(d) 1 crank and 1 honey collector.WorkingWhen the paddle connected to the crank is rotated by hand or by the foot of a person sitting on thesaddle, the sprocket wheel whose radius is 5 times (say) smaller than the crank rotates 5 times faster.The honey comb frames, connected/attached to the axle of the sprocket wheel also rotates. Becauseof the centrifugal force experienced due to rotational motion, the honey get separated from the honeycombs due to striking of the the curve surface of the hollow cylindrical drum whose axis is kept coincidingwith axis of rotation. The honey is collected in a vessel placed below the drum through the holesprovided. The other sprocket wheel close to the 1st one, allows the honey comb to rotate in theopposite direction. By rotating the crank in that direction, honey will come out from the other side ofthe honey comb also. This helps in extraction of honey more efficiently.
ADVANTAGES OF THE MODEL
(i) Physical exercise of the man by paddling the crank in both direction. (clockwise and anti-clockwise)(ii) Effective use of muscular energy in doing physical exercise.(iii) More production of honey from honey comb.(iv) Saving time both in doing physical exercise and extraction of honey.
APPLICATION
It is used to extract honey. Besides this, machine has even the provision for generating power (electricity)if a generator (d.c.) is connected to the rear rotating system and can be used as a source of light forworking in dark.

INTRODUCTION
We know that many vehicles are increasing air pollution which increases global warming or thetemperature of the earth. Many steps have been taken to reduce the emission level of gases comingout from the vehicle exhaust. We can see in heavy traffic areas the level of air pollution is very high.We feel uncomfortable and even feel itching in our eyes in such areas. Increasing air pollution is adanger sign for all living organisms on earth. Exhaust gases coming out from all types of automobilescontains mainly carbon mono-oxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxideand other harmful gases. These gases are very harmful for our environment and ecological system.This project is an attempt to solve the problem of high pollution level in cities due to automobiles inheavy traffic areas. This project helps us to reduce the air pollution caused by the vehicles.
SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE INVOLVED
In the cooling chamber two aluminium plates which have charge on them attract dust particles. Theexhaust gases pushed by the exhaust fan on the nets made of synthetic fibers and solution of sodiumhydroxide (NaOH) is sprayed by the sprayer. NaOH reacts with the harmful exhaust gases and neutralizesthem. This way, the level of polluted air is very low.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Bottles of two litre capacity, T-shape water pipe joint, two exhaust fans, aluminium foil, NaOH solution,sprayer, battery, etc.
CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING
In this project the exhaust gases are collected in the cooling chamber (the shape of the cooling chamberis like a frustum) where due to the expansion of gases their temperature becomes low. In the coolingchamber there are two aluminium plates which create charge on them and attract the acidic/basic dustor harmful particles and then an exhaust fan sucks the gases and pushes the gases in NaOH treatmentchamber. We can identify it in given figure (1) where the NaOH reacts with harmful gases and makethem neutral. There is a machine called sprayer placed after the exhaust fan which sprays NaOH onthe nets of synthetic fibers after every 2 km distance period when the vehicle is running.
25State Level Science, Mat hem at ics and Environment Exhibi t ion for Ch ildren Guidel ines -SLSMEE-2014-15
Fig.1In the vertical chamber the remaining dust particles are separated by exhaust fan which pushes
the gases on a filter so the heavy solid harmful particles settle down. Then the remaining gases areagain treated with NaOH. We can identify it in figure (2). Finally, cool and fresh air with very low airpollution comes out and spread out in the environment.
Fig.2Removal of harmful particles/chemicals: Take out the nets of synthetic fibers and wash them in
NaOH solution to remove solid sediments and harmful chemicals periodically.
RESULT
It ensures lowering of the pollution level in air due to automobiles. So we can save our earth frompollution.
