What goes in and what comes out!: Workshop on our digestive system by Leaps and Bounds
To kick off our second year at the E-Base, we commenced with our Food and Nutrition Module.
Smelling and then biting into the chocolate to understand how the digestive process starts at the point of salivation.
As an introduction to the module we went to the basics- our digestion process.
Feeling the food going down their esophagus.
Children to the Rescue!: Sir Robert Swan
We do not inherit our planet from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. The way we live our lives will profoundly impact the lives of our children and decisions made today will influence the future of life on Earth. Therefore, it is our mission to build on this by informing, engaging and inspiring the next generation of leaders to take responsibility, be sustainable, and know that the time for action is NOW.
Inspiring students at the E-Base.
Where Man meets Nature: Bittu Sahgal
India is one of the most biodiverse nations in the world. Though, we are fast losing this natural wealth on account of unchecked conventional forms of ‘development’.
Conserving our planet’s surviving biodiversity, in the face of today’s misguided developmental ambitions, is undoubtedly one of the most crucial challenges that threatens the very survival of life on earth. This battle is umbilically connected to the climate crisis that has now come to be accepted as a reality by even the most hard-headed economists and scientists.
Trees Workshop by Leaps and Bounds
Through this workshop, the students learnt about the wonders of a tree. They learnt about the function of chlorophyll, and with a simple experiment using ink and carnations, they got a deeper understanding of the capillary movement in plants. By counting the rings on the bark of a tree, the students learnt how to estimate the age of a tree.
