To mark a departure from the bookish learning and bridge the gap between wrote knowledge & implementation, Science Week “Quest” is an Annual feature of SMS Janakpuri. Activities like debate, Powerpoint Presentation, Science Quiz and display of working models on Science and Maths are conducted to enhance & reorient knowledge through contemplation, discussions & hand on experimentations.
The main thrust of the SCIENCE QUEST is to initiative creativity and pursue imagination through experiences beyond the shackles of syllabus. |

MATHS QUEST
Experience says learning mathematics can be made easier and enjoyable if our curriculum includes mathematical activities and games. Keeping this in mind, our school organized a Maths Quest Week for the students of Classes VI to XII. The essence of Maths is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple. Class VI students played Mathematical Bingo, in which each player got an online bingo card in the beginning of the game. A question wise slide was displayed on the screen. Each player had to solve the question displayed and cross one of the squares on their card if their answer matched with the answer on any square of the card. The aim of the game was to enable students calculate faster and more accurately.
