click for a large page

    To highlight the basic concepts of Astronomy and Space science among the school children and the lay adults, this centre

conducts workshop on ASTRONOMY KIT MODELLING.In this workshop childrens from middle school and high school

them in model form. Then they are taught to design mechanisms for the development ot the kits and using their mathematical

knowledge , to find out the optimal dimentions of the kit.They make a layout of the kit and are ready for fabricating them. They

fabricate them with the help of low cost materials with the help of expet technical guidance of the personnels in this museums.

Last year i.e.,1999 some of the themes taken up for fabrication of the projects were

I)                   Why does sun seen in various Zoadiacal constellations throughout a year?

II)                  How density saturn is?

III)                 Why are stars not visible during day time?

IV)                 Why does stars twinkle?

V)                   How does a pulsar works in principle?

If you have any ideas regarding the kit fabrications on astronomical themes and would like to share it with us,kindly mail them to astropl@md5.vsnl.net.in
