In science, the approach to the concept is very important. Being able to see it, do it and understand it is the approach in the lower classes. It has to be practical for the students to be able to connect and build on their fundamentals. That’s why Science at Walnut is hands-on, logical and sequenced carefully so students can connect new concepts to earlier knowledge.
Core Science Program at-a-Glance
- Starts from Nursery → simplified Physics, Chemistry & Biology concepts.
- Primary Science Curriculum → practical and vocabulary-rich, well before CBSE requires it.
- Blended learning approach → presentations + activities make abstract concepts clear.
- Sequenced concepts → each lesson builds on the last.
- Thought-provoking questions → sharpen analysis and application.
- Revision & testing → Test Bytes (MCQs after every lesson) and Try-a-Tests (short descriptive tests from Std. 9).
Supportive Co-Curriculars
Science Lab (Std. 1–10) → weekly experiments to test and apply theory. Read more.
Mental Ability (Std. 1–10) → weekly logic & reasoning drills.
Strategic Thinking (Std. 1–10) → weekly puzzles & problem-solving. Read more.
Core Science Program at-a-Glance
- STEM Demonstration (Std. 1–4): Once a year, students present simple Science concepts to parents. Read more.
- STEM A-Fair (Std. 5–10): Annual science fair where students design projects and present to a large audience. Read more.
- These events give students the confidence to present, the courage to face an audience, and the ability to explain concepts clearly.
“I would like to appreciate the lessons the school has included in Science about Animal Behaviour. We are animal lovers at home and have a beautiful dog Noori at home who my son loves. He was very happy to learn about dog and cat behaviour in Science. Even I was pleasantly surprised and glad to see a school taking such an initiative, which is very important in today’s times. Not only does this give the students new knowledge, but also helps them build empathy and sensitivity toward animals be it in their homes, in the streets or around them.”
