Critical Thinking


Learning to think critically is one of the most important skills that today's children need. In today's rapidly changing world, children should be able to do much more than repeat a list of facts they studied in class. They should be critical thinkers capable of processing information sensibly. The future of the world should be equipped with the ability to compare and contrast in order to generate high quality thinking.
Reading is the best way for a student to develop his/her way of foreseeing things in life. Reading about different incidents and experiences helps a child refine his/her theories on what causes things to happen. It also gives them a close-to-life experience on what can happen in life and also gives them insight on how skilled people dealt with it. Guiding a child’s critical thinking will help him/her acquire a clear mind and will have a positive impact on his/her problem solving skills.

Knowing the art of being-a-self-critic is indispensable, as it is one of the major steps needed in evolving critical thinking skills. Analyzing information and being active listeners help students to read and think differently. Encouraging students to think freely and to project their ideas with confidence helps them in understanding and constantly moulding themselves.

Evolution of Aircrafts

Since that fateful day in December of 1903, airplane design has changed dramatically. The Wright Brothers built a biplane with two propellers that were chain-driven by a gasoline motor. Our dependence on air travel over the years has forced airplane design to catch up with the times. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. The Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane. The Wrights used this stopwatch to time the Kitty Hawk flights. Aircrafts have evolved so much from the initial days. From 2 seater to the latest air bus type, they have come a long way.  The history of aviation extends for more than two thousand years, from the earliest forms of aviation such as kites and attempts at tower jumping to supersonic and hyper-sonic flight by powered, heavier-than-air jets. Kite flying in China dates back to several hundred years BC and slowly spread around the world. Sir George Cayley...
