 SCIENCE
Objectives:
MAGAZINE
• To create a Science based student magazine (by students and for the students) and to offer a plat-
form for student-centered and personalized learning.
• To develop scientific curiosity and wonder and real life interactions relating to Science.
• To encourage cross-curricular links with other subjects.

Step 1: Select editors/sub-editors / news reporters (KS 2) designing / and other roles for conceptualizing
and designing the magazine. Include 3 or 4 members from each year level.
Step 2: Send details of this project to the parents of selected parents informing and requesting for pa-
rental guidance and help when required.
Step 3: Allow the team to meet up once a month and create a Google group where they can interact
online (with adult supervision)
Step 4: Include various pages/sections for the magazine – like
1. Latest news of what’s happening around the world in Science (obtained from News, Science online
articles etc…..)
2. Interviews with real-life Science based career people – e.g. doctors, software persons, engineers,
and other STEM related careers.(This could be driven by teachers and parents)
3. Healthy Science Page – focus on health issues, science behind it, healthy student recipes, easy
exercises, habits etc….
4. What’s happening in Science classes? Coverage and interviews with students and teachers.
5. Science – Fun time (Featuring coloring pages of Scientists, Science quizzes, puzzles etc…)
• These pages could highlight news from the student’s perspective .
• Each of these pages could be co-authored/ guided by individual Science teachers.
Step 5: A foreword by editor and sub-editors (all need to be students)
Step 6: This magazine could be published online or in hard copy twice every year or once every term.
So the same set of students in the editorial team get a chance to improve their skills.
Step 7: Give certificates and tokens of appreciation for students who have successfully participated in
the editorial teams for the whole year.
Step 8: Look for new applicants next year, so none of the roles are monopolized by a select group of
students and many get chances to take part.
