Coimbatore School Science teacher, Mrs. Jamuna, decided to make
the class room learning interesting by teaching the lesson outdoor.
The topic was ‘Save Energy’ with content on renewable resources like
solar energy. All Isha Vidhya schools have facility of heating water
through solar energy. This was sponsored by generous donors and has
helped us save a lot of fuel while heating water for mid day meals.
Mrs Jamuna took 5th grade students to the solar water heater panel
and off grid solar photo voltaic power plant area for the lesson. Students
were already familiar with the idea that solar energy can be harnessed
as an alternate source of energy. They asked many questions about
working of solar plant, capacity, application cost of installation etc.
and wanted the teacher to explain.
The teacher Mrs. Jamuna shared:
"I was delighted with their interest in wanting to know about how
the solar system functioned. A simple change of location brought
increased interest and easy learning among students!"
