Expressing the same enthusiasm the children shared their views are on the workshop. Science is a vast subject and it had empowered the world to perfection. The seminar was extremely informative and taught us the way of easy learning and fun by performing some experiments.

The experiments enhanced our enthusiasm and helped us to utilize time in a particular way. -S.P.ARAVIND, VII Today I am here to share my feelings about the science organized by Revathi Science Foundation. I felt very lively while doing the experiments. My favourite activity out of all was the ‘Fun with Periodic Table’ activity. It was really fun to find the names of animals using atomic number and the element symbol. It felt really amazing to perform the activities. I would like to thank the Revathi Science Foundation and our school management for giving us this wonderful opportunity.
