Children and Science Science is the subject that generates a natural love for learning, in children. Much of science is hands-on and children conceive science in a different way when compared to adults. Knowing how kids think matters. While taking a class on a specific matter, all students may not think the same way as the tutor. A child’s imagination might wander far away from what the tutor desires to convey. We can never blame a student for having a vast imagination; remember it was not long ago that people believed that the world was flat and that the universe revolved around the Earth. Science is the subject that helps a student in understanding the world around him. It has answers to the mysteries of this universe and a logical explanation for everything. Understanding science helps a student understand reality and be rational. Being creative and open minded, helps students in thinking profoundly. Science is the subject that has room for innovation.

E-Learning E-Learning aka Extensive learning is the type of learning that involves nothing more than reading texts or books to develop general reading skills. E-Learning is practiced by a student who freely endeavors into the world of books on his/her own without any specific aim or intent; unlike in Intensive Learning which focuses on a particular aim. In Extensive Learning, the teacher expects students to read or listen without any specific task or assignments being set.  The main intention and characteristic of E-Learning is, it helps learners to build reading speed and fluency. By developing reading speed, it helps students to understand the language better and faster, which makes it easier for them at school. It establishes the fact that reading is the most interesting part of studying and one should consider reading as a pleasure.  With the help of Extensive Learning students can improve their writing competence, vocabulary, self esteem and aural skills.

Born in the April 1452, Leonardo da Vinci is one the most famous names in history. Although he was a man of many talents, it was his two impeccable paintings 'Mona Lisa' and 'The Last Supper' that made his fame eternal. His area of interest was not just limited to painting, he was a maestro in sculpting, architecture, writing etc. Da Vinci was also known as the 'Universal Genius' for his inventive imagination.  The Da Vinci Glider was one of his best inventions. To understand flying, he used to buy birds from local markets and study their shape, motion and wing structure. Flying the glider was Da Vinci's biggest dr eam. He was adamant to develop a man powered flying machine. He drew many sketches in the shape of the Glider with a human controlling it. In the Glider, the flyer's position is balanced through the movements of the lower part of the human body. Through his imagination and sketches he also proved that the wings of the glider can actually

C-Learning is a highly effective method

From the beginning of time or since our schooling, we have been taught that the planets rotate around the sun and we have all instilled that particular image in our minds, which is known as the heliocentric model of the solar system. But, have we ever thought if this process could work in any other way? Nothing exists in isolation in our universe as there are a lot of moving parts. The solar system could move in many ways and not just rotational. It could move through the galaxy and make a vortex shape by pulling the planets behind it. Gravity determines the motion of everything including us, as we move along with the universe. All of this is governed by one simple law, which is General Relativity. According to the great scientist Albert Einstein, the theory of General Relativity determines that “the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and the speed of light within a vacuum is the same, no matter the speed at which the observer travels”. Even If we per
