Reflection- Earth Day at Botanic Garden

The experience in the Botanic Garden was definitely an enriching and fun one. Its really interesting as this was the first inter-displinary lesson I had in the natural environment.

Our group decided to finish the Bio part of the lesson first. It was quite enriching as we got to learn and estimate the surface ares of the leaves of the tree and relate it to the size of the tree. It was very interesting as we get to compare the size and surface ares of the tree with other trees of different types, and hence seeing the relationships between the two. Conducting this lesson in the outdoor was definitely more interesting and interactive than having theory lessons in class.

The physics class was short but interesting as well. This lesson help us to set the the theory of sound waves into context and we get to see the relevance with real life. The interesting and diverse calls of the birds demonstrated the different properties of the sound waves. The english portion of the trip was really fun. Our theme was tribal, and i made leaf "headbands" for our "customers". In the end, everyone ended up dancing the "hooga" dance and i really had lots of fun.

I though "the man who planted trees" structure was really an amazing one. It was very creative and inspiring. It tells a story of how the efforts of one man can make such a huge difference, and serves as a reminder for all of us to love and protect the nature, as it is our home after all.

This was an enriching experience that allowed us to appreciate the nature. I would really like to thank the teachers who spent great efforts to plan these meaningful lessons on this Earth Day.
