Physics Lab Work

 On the day before the Eid vacation, a compulsory physics lab was held at school. The lab was based on applying calorimetric techniques experimentally, and the task that the students were given was to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown solid.


 

The lab was conducted very smoothly, and the students were highly enthusiastic about the experiment. They were able to perform the required tasks with great precision and accuracy, which is a testament to the quality of education at the Australian International School.


 

The lab began with an introduction to the principles of calorimetry and the equipment used in the experiment. The students were given a brief overview of the importance of specific heat capacity and how it relates to the transfer of heat between objects.

After the introduction, the students were divided into groups and assigned a set of materials to work with. They were given the task of measuring the specific heat capacity of an unknown solid by using a calorimeter. The students had to heat the solid in boiling water and then transfer it to a calorimeter, where the change in temperature was measured.

The students were able to perform the experiment successfully, and they recorded accurate measurements. They were able to calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown solid.

The lab was a great learning experience for the students, as they were able to apply theoretical concepts to a real-world situation. It also helped them to develop their practical skills, such as measuring and recording accurate data.

Overall, the physics lab conducted at the Australian International School was a success, and the students were able to learn a lot from it. It was an excellent example of how theoretical concepts can be applied practically and how hands-on learning can enhance a student's educational experience.

Inspiring Minds: A Journey of Education, Life, and Gratitude

 Education is not only restricted to textbooks and classrooms; it covers a larger knowledge of life, purpose, and the pursuit of achievement. Australian International School Dhaka, promotes complete growth while inspiring pupils to attain their best potential is of highest significance. In a recent engagement project, the school invited Dr. Shahpar Nahrir, a parent of IBDP 1 students Maryam and Amina Bushra, who discussed her life experiences, opinions on education, and important life advice. Dr. Nahrir, having a background in neurological surgery at Evercare Hospital, wants to teach students the significance of hard effort, persistence, and thankfulness in their path towards making a significant effect on society.  The Australian International School's dedication to offering a well-rounded education goes beyond academic differences. Recognizing the relevance of real-life experiences and ideas, the school regularly invites guest speakers to share their tales and viewpoints. Dr...

Cooking Up a Storm with IBDP Students

The students of DP Year 1 and DP ear 2 got to experience several immersive cooking lessons throughout the past few weeks, as part of their CAS activities. Gaining notoriety for being a fan- favorite class amongst students, they have gained a lot of experience and knowledge by using hands-on approaches in cooking and preparing the ingredients. Mr. Asad has been a wonderful guide and taught as many skills as possible including how to use a knife, how to chop vegetables and similar skills. Students were encouraged to participate in cooking by ‘sharpening’ their knife skills, helping prepare the ingredients for assembly, and taking turns in stirring or frying various items on the portable electric stoves provided.  During the first class, the students got to partake in making ‘palak pakoda’, or more commonly known as spinach pakora. Each student had their own share in creating the batter, cutting the spinach stems (as well as dicing leafy, fresh toppings) and frying the crunchy snac...

MUN 101: Introducing the DP 1 Students to Model United Nations

  With the new academic year beginning, the new DP 1 students were introduced to the idea of Model United Nation s  (MUN) for CAS on August the 13th. MUN is an academic simulation of the United Nations, with students acting  as delegates, Secretary-Generals, committee staffs and committee chairs. MUN aims to educate young minds about  current global events, diplomacy, international relations and how the United Nations operates. Delegates need to  collaborate with other delegates to support each other's resolutions, sharing knowledge of their own ones and  listening to others proposals. Through MUNs, we as students can develop a multitude of skills, including:  presentation, public speaking, persuasion, research, critical thinking and situation analysis.    The sessions are taken by both Mr. Asad, our CAS supervisor, along with Mr. Mahfuz, a teacher here at  Australian International School who has experience in hosting MUNs in other educa...
