In this session, the children combined creativity with science by making paper frogs from brightly coloured paper. They carefully followed the folding steps, creasing each fold neatly so that their frogs could spring forward when pressed at the back. Choosing their own colours made the activity more personal, and the children took pride in their finished creations.
Once the frogs were ready, the children turned the activity into a race to explore the concepts of speed and distance. A starting line and a finish line were marked, and each child pressed down on their frog to make it jump. They measured how far each frog travelled in a single jump and compared the results with their classmates.
Through the races, the children began to understand that distance is how far an object travels, while speed describes how quickly it covers that distance. They noticed that some frogs jumped further than others and discussed possible reasons, such as how firmly the frog was pressed or how well it was folded.
The children also tested their frogs several times, which helped them see how results can change between attempts. They shared their observations, asked thoughtful questions and cheered each other on. The session was an enjoyable, hands-on way to introduce speed and distance, and it encouraged curiosity, teamwork and careful observation.
Publishing original scientific research in a peer-reviewed journal is an achievement many scholars work toward for years. Achieving this feat early in one's academic journey requires exceptional intellectual rigor, creativity, and persistence. Aaditya Punatar and Muskan Sadana have reached this remarkable milestone, successfully publishing their collaborative research paper in the prestigious Journal of Emerging Investigators […]
