THE MILLENNIUM SCHOOL CONDUCTES INTER-HOUSE SCIENCE QUIZ FOR SENIORS

An Inter-house Science Quiz for classes IX to XII was conducted in the school multipurpose hall by the Science department. The four teams comprising four participants in each were named after the famous Indian scientists CV Raman, APJ Abdul Kalam, S Dhawan and JC Bose . There were many interesting rounds in the quiz viz. Identify the Scientist, Recognise the Apparatus, Guess the Scientific Terms, etc. based on all the branches of science like botany, zoology, chemistry, biology, physics, etc. Each team was awarded ten marks for every correct answer, and five marks for the question passed to and answered by the next team.  The last round- Rapid Fire Round proved to be a ‘table-turner’ as the positions of all the houses changed rapidly. Finally, Vaayu house secured the first position, Agni house got second position and Prithvi house stood third. The objective behind conducting this quiz was to stimulate and sustain the learners’ interest in science. The questions probed in the Quiz were quite interesting, and were also based on the science used in daily life. The audience was also involved in the quiz by asking questions at the frequent intervals. Hence, the quiz proved to be a thought churner and exhilarating. Principal Dr. A. K. Singh appreciated the learners for their enthusiastic participation in the science quiz and stated that it is very important to comprehend the science behind every action and activity held around us to satisfy the curiosity of mind.
