Hallo All, I would like to have a suggestion from you all. My 10 yr old kid is very much interested in science activities and experiments. Can someone pls help me where can I find any organsation, institute or activity center in hyderabad who can assist kids for experimental activities. @Admin : pls move the post to respective one, if i am landed on the wrong place Thank you in advance. Regards amul
How wonderful! You might want to start from here: .::B M Birla Science Centre, Hyderabad, India::. Also check out https://www.khanacademy.org/science/discoveries-projects Do ask your son's science teacher for recommendations too. Might be a good idea to ask science professors for ideas and information too. One of my friends went that route. More later.
Google search reveal the following websites among others. Do have a look with your son. https://sciencebob.com/ Grades 5 & 6 | Experiland www.sciencebuddies.org/ www.professorbeaker.com/links.html For reference a 10 year old is typically in 4th or 5th grade in US. Am tagging other scientists here who can give you more information. @Gauri03, @malstrom, @sokanasanah... please help.
I don't have any knowledge about local Hyderabad science centers, but if you feel your child will enjoy hands on experimentation then try getting him kits like Snap circuits, or Physics or Chemistry workshops. If you or your spouse are interested you can get the Geek Dad or Geek Mom series of books, and work one on one with your kid. Those books have some really fun family projects. Since your child is around 10, he/she is at the right age to start experimenting with programming and robotics if so inclined. One of the best tools to teach graphical programming to kids is the Scratch project from MIT. They help kids develop logical thinking by using LEGO like building blocks to create programs. If it is within your budget you can look at the LEGO Mindstorms series. They are LEGO toolkits for building programmable robots. They offer a lot of cool addon hardware but can get very expensive very quickly. Honestly, as far as experimentation goes, your initiative and commitment are the only limits. If you are willing to put in the time, most experimental materials and hardware can be bought from wholesale markets for very cheap. Plans and procedures are all available online these days. Just Google a project and set up a time to work on it. It will be a very enriching experience for both you and your child. Good luck!
check arvindgupta toys from trash and science experiments.. i am his fan for almost a decade..the simple way experiments are done.. ArvindGuptaToys Books Gallery check his youtube channel too.. you can also follow whizkidscience, hooplakidzlab some of the experiments can be easily done at home and can definitely help kids understand the principles..
