4. INTRODUCTION
The introduction of science at schools is an important vehicle for science
communication. It is generally understood that the first experiences of science
influence scientific interest. Sustaining this interest through the education pipeline
from primary to secondary to post-school science careers is a challenge faced by the
education system of all countries. It is therefore imperative that suitable vehicles are
chosen to communicate science to learners at all levels to enable them to make
informed decisions about opportunities presented by science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM)

5. SCIENCE CLUB
What is a science club?
A science club is an out-of-school-hours club that offers children the chance to do science-
related activities that extend and enhance the science they experience in the classroom.
Each science club is different, as the club programme reflects the interests of the children, the
club organiser and the facilities available. Most clubs use the opportunity to explore areas of
science not covered by the curriculum and to give the club members plenty of opportunities to do
practical science.
A science club can be run in a lunch break or after school. Some organisations are able to offer
special Saturday clubs.
A science club session typically lasts for about 45 minutes. In this time, the members might
complete a challenge, plan a science project or have a special scientific visitor.
objectives
I. Aims
1. To help students acquire basic knowledge of Science.
2. To help students develop a scientific way of learning.

6. 3. To develop students' awareness of and concern for scientific issues in personal, social,
environmental and technological contexts.
II. Objectives
1. To arouse and cultivate students' interest in learning Science.
2. To encourage student to participate actively in the activities organized by the Science Club.
3. To promote the use of IT in learning Science.
4. To understand scientific knowledge through experiments.
SCIENCE FAIR
A science fair experiment is generally a competition where contestants present their science
project results in the form of a report, display board, and models that they have created. Science
fairs allow students in elementary, middle and high schools to compete in science and/or
technology activities.
Although writing assignments that take a long time to complete and require multiple drafts are
fairly common in US schools, large projects in the sciences (other than science fairs) are rare.
Science fairs also provide a mechanism for students with intense interest in the sciences to be
paired with mentors from nearby colleges and universities, so that they can get access to
instruction and equipment that the local schools could not provide.
In the United States, science fairs first became popular in the early 1950s, with the ISEF, then
known as the National Science Fair. Interest in the sciences was at a new high after the world
witnessed the use of the first two atomic weapons and the dawn of television. As the decade

7. progressed, science stories in the news, such as Jonas Salk’s vaccine for polio and the launch of
Sputnik, brought science fiction to reality and attracted increasing numbers of students to fairs.
History
Science fairs were started by William Emerson Ritter and Edward W. Scripps in 1942 as "The
Science Talent Search" for high school students. The first ever American National Science Fair
was won by Alan J. Fletcher when he was 18, who demonstrated the laws of motion. 1950,
Pennsylvania
Content
Science fairs projects are normally intended to demonstrate scientific concepts on a small scale
and often relate to green energy or student health for example frequent science fair projects are
how much water it takes to leave the water on while brushing your teeth, or what happens when
you leave a tooth in a cup of soda. Science fair projects normally have to have a purpose,
hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, experiment results, and a conclusion, and
are normally intended to teach students about the scientific method.

8. EXHIBITION
An exhibition, in the most general sense, is an organized presentation and display of a selection
of items. In practice, exhibitions usually occur within museums, galleries and exhibition halls,
and World's Fairs. Exhibitions can include many things such as art in both major museums and
smaller galleries, interpretive exhibitions, natural history museums and history museums, and
also varieties such as more commercially focused exhibitions and trade fairs.

9. The word "exhibition" is usually, but not always, the word used for a collection of items.
Sometimes "exhibit" is synonymous with "exhibition", but "exhibit" generally refers to a single
item being exhibited within an exhibition.
Exhibitions may be permanent displays or temporary, but in common usage, "exhibitions" are
considered temporary and usually scheduled to open and close on specific dates. While many
exhibitions are shown in just one venue, some exhibitions are shown in multiple locations and
are called travelling exhibitions, and some are online exhibitions.
Though exhibitions are common events, the concept of an exhibition is quite wide and
encompasses many variables. Exhibitions range from an extraordinarily large event such as a
World's Fair exposition to small one-artist solo shows or a display of just one item. Curators are
sometimes involved as the people who select the items in an exhibition. Writers and editors are
sometimes needed to write text, labels and accompanying printed material such as catalogs and
books. Architects, exhibition designers, graphic designers and other designers may be needed to
shape the exhibition space and give form to the editorial content. Organizing and holding
exhibitions also requires effective event planning, management, and logistics.
Art exhibitions
Fine art exhibited
Main article:Artexhibition
Art exhibitions include an array of artifacts from countless forms of human making: paintings,
drawings, crafts, sculpture, video installations, sound installations, performances, interactive art,
etc. Art exhibitions may focus on one artist, one group, one genre, one theme or one collection;
or may be organized by curators, selected by juries, or show any artwork submitted.
Fine arts exhibitions typically highlight works of art with generous space and lighting, supplying
information through labels or audioguides designed to be unobtrusive to the art itself.
Exhibitions may occur in series or periodically, as in the case with Biennales, triennials and
quadrennials.

10. Interpretive exhibitions
Interpretive exhibitions are exhibitions that require more context to explain the items being
displayed. This is generally true of exhibitions devoted to scientific and historical themes, where
text, dioramas, charts, maps and interactive displays may provide necessary explanation of
background and concepts. Interpretive exhibitions generally require more text and more graphics
than fine art exhibitions do.
The topics of interpretive graphics cover a wide range including archaeology, anthropology,
ethnology, history, science, technology and natural history.
Commercial exhibitions

Main article:Trade fair
Commercial exhibitions, generally called trade fairs, trade shows or expos, are usually organized
so that organizations in a specific interest or industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest
products, service, study activities of rivals and examine recent trends and opportunities. Some
trade fairs are open to the public, while others can only be attended by company representatives
(members of the trade) and members of the press.

Science club is the place where all the co-curricular activities are organized. Through the science
