Recently, class 7E did a Science practical about evaporation and appropriately using the Bunsen burner.
Students had to learn how to safely use a Bunsen burner and apply these skills during an evaporation experiment. They demonstrated responsibility, focus, and a willingness to engage with the practical activities and scientific discussions throughout the lesson.
It was fantastic to see the students carefully following safety procedures, making observations, recording results, and showing curiosity while investigating how evaporation works.
ππ¨ A Proud Moment for Our College Community π¨π
