“The pursuit of art on a regular basis may be the key to healing our minds and bodies.”- Kim Blair          Students at Choithram International are always encouraged to be responsible and caring for society. They get ample opportunities to connect academics with service-learning experiences. Looking at the increase in stress level and anxiety during the pandemic, students of MYP 2 A took initiative to identify the role of Arts in Healing. Under the able guidance of the faculties of the Art department, students explored how various art forms dance, drama, music, visual arts, etc. promote healing and wellness. The meticulous planning and systematic execution of the service project “The Healing Power of Art & Artists” were evident at the culmination event on 5th October 2021 on a virtual platform. The collaborative presentation included Service Talks on how Art therapy can improve health and well-being, a very inspiring and engaging dance drama, a motivatio...

 Under the Game Design unit , MYP 3 students used various applications like code.org , Roblox and Minecraft to create games. They developed challenging games for their targeted audiences. Students were quite inquisitive and excited in developing the games. The unit was a success as it developed critical thinking skills of the students. 

MYP 4 students explored and inquired into the relationship between the three thermodynamic variables Pressure, Volume and Temperature using a phet simulation. Phet simulation is open source and is easily accessible on all devices. Students used the screen recording option to demonstrate their learning from the simulation. Students demonstrate their learning by first exploring the simulation at their own pace and then screen recording their understanding and explain and reason out the phenomena of how and why Pressure changes with temperature and so on.

  Technology plays a key role in allowing humans to represent the real world as a model and to quantify the appropriateness of the model. GeoGebra and Desmos help in graphing along with Numbers app and used to fit model for the given data. Also used the same for 3Dimensional modelling.

  Science Week Celebration-2022 With Carl Sagan's veracious words - "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge", Choithram International, Indore observed a much exhilarating and jubilant week full of competitions and activities to celebrate "National Science Day". Science is an academic and practical endeavor that encompasses the affective exploration of the structure and rules of nature via extensive testing and pragmatic observation.  To put forward their understanding of the principles of sciences, students participated in several activities over a week. Students were thrilled to perform in the activities that had been entrusted to them, such as poster making, poem writing, debates, and so on. The purpose of this event was to instill not just scientific attitudes and research mindedness, but also to stimulate scientific enthusiasm.

  Science facilitators collaborate to enhance the Teaching and Assessing Process “None of us is as smart as all of us.” – Ken Blanchard With this vision, Twenty-eight members from across the country and beyond the borders enthusiastically exchanged ideas intending to Realize a common vision, that is making the ‘Teaching and Assessing’ more fruitful. Choithram International facilitated a collaborative meeting of Science teachers with a common vision. The agenda was to frame the curriculum keeping in mind the depth of content, concept, and skills according to the age group of students. Designing interesting assessments and connecting them with Global contexts and International mindedness was also discussed and ideas were exchanged among the participants.The whole experience was helpful and good. Such interactive science collaboration will be further planned periodically with specific agenda to support and enrich one another as a team.  -
