On 25th June, the students of Class 5 had an exciting opportunity to visit BITM for the captivating show ‘Frigid Physics’. The highlight of the show was the demonstration of experiments using solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) and liquid nitrogen, showcasing extremely low temperatures in action. The students were enthralled by the visual spectacle of materials instantly freezing and shattering under these conditions.

What made the experience even more memorable was the interactive session that followed. The educators at BITM engaged the children in various activities and demonstrations, encouraging them to ask questions and participate actively.

Throughout the visit, the atmosphere was filled with joy and enthusiasm as the students eagerly absorbed new knowledge through fun-filled experiments.

The function of liquid nitrogen and the importance of the ozone layer was explained to the students by performing experiments using objects like balloons, balls and light. The students also learnt a new term - escape velocity. It was an exciting learning experience.
