Reincarnation & understanding

In our MS class the discussion was going over method of understanding in case of children. How they understand, what they interest first and how we can measure those and so on. Grechen Jennings, USA was teaching very interestingly those things. There are so many unknown things came out from by discussion and research.

I was thinking something new, that will make all of us more dynamic.
So I asked that : Madam, do You believe in reincarnation?
Grechen replied being a christian she does not believe in reincarnation.
Then I told her assuming that reincarnation occurs, then why each and every new born human baby should have to teach crawling, walking, swimming etc. 

As a result the class becomes dynamic and the answer could be found in http://museumcommons.blogspot.in/ [ blog of Grechen Jennings],

Time with Robert Freidel

Prof. Robert Friedel, Professor History of Technology & Science, University of Maryland, had came last year in N.C.S.M., Kolkata.

He spent one full month with our group. The adjacent figure shows Prof. R. Friedel with MS Science Communication 2011 which is the most successful batch ever entered. We have spent a nice time with SIR.

Time with Grechen Jennings and Karen Lee

It is my great pleasure to publish our recent activity in MS batch July 2012 at N.C.S.M. Kolkata. The adjacent is a group photo with Grechen Jennings [ fifth from left ]

Developmental Design of exhibit Tornado in NCSM, Kolkata

I have theoretically calculated the developmental design of Tornado exhibit in NCSM, Kolkata. There is a small exhibit called Tornado. It is a very well known exhibit all over India by NCSM,Kolkata. At the bottom, there is an arrangement of keeping water in contact with humidifier. This humidifier moisturizes water and a fan of fixed r.p.m. on the top creates rotation of that moisture.

By developing that exhibit I have introduced an equation of motion and came to the conclusion that if the entrance opening of the moisture be increased then it will be more prominent than it is.
