Cooking Something Sweet!

Cooking is a very important skill that we all must learn, so that we do not have to live off of instant noodles for our university lives. Plus, it is always impressive when one can cook. This week in our infamous cooking class, the DP-1 and DP-2 students have created something tiny, yet sweet. A traditional Bengali dish called “Gajorer Laddu'' or basically a dessert made from carrots. Healthy yet delicious? Win-win! (Maybe not that delicious, but it’s carrots!)

 





Making this dish was quite a joyous experience for both the DP-1 and DP-2 students. A simple yet mouth-watering dessert like this can be made anytime with very little effort. All the DP students worked collaboratively to make this dessert such as cutting the carrots, adding sugar and milk and even molding them into tiny little circles, while adding small chunks of pistachios. Cooking is essential for us all as it will help us be more independent in the future when we are not near the comforts of our home. This skill can help us learn so much more as well as explore other traditional cuisines and build an international mindset. Cooking falls under the “service” strand in CAS as it requires us to make and provide to others. It also helps us, students, to enjoy the joy of cooking and making traditional cuisines.

Exploring Biodiversity: IB DP Year 2 Biology Students Conduct Line Transect Activity

  Recently, IB DP Year 2 biology students embarked on an exciting line transect activity on the new school field to study plant species and soil properties. This innovative method of identifying organisms within an ecosystem involves systematic sampling at regular intervals to observe and record biodiversity along a line.   Using a 10-meter rope, students examined organisms every 2 meters along the transect, identifying two plant species: Cornus serica L. and Cenchrus echinatus L. . Despite aiming to collect five soil samples for testing pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS), the experiment was interrupted by rain, limiting the collection to three samples. Another challenge was the presence of bricks in the soil, which prevented digging at one of the sites. In the lab, students measured TDS levels ranging from 18.2 to 22 ppm, salinity from 17 to 18, and pH between 7.63 and 7.68. This hands-on activity provided valuable insights into the local ecosystem within the...

Inquiry on Smart Farming: Designing a Greener Tomorrow

On the 2 nd week of November, IB DP Year 1 students have come together to work in an interdisciplinary project regarding sustainable agriculture practices. The collaboration was done between the Group 3 subjects: Digital Society, Economics, Business Management and Environmental Systems and Societies. The students worked hard to conduct research and find real world examples and create different presentations regarding the various prospects of sustainable agriculture and its advancements. Sustainable agriculture is a big step for sustainable development, which prioritizes meeting the needs of this generation without compromising the next, so by studying this topic we got a better understanding of the current situation and the scope of improvements.   The Digital Society students focused on what existing technologies are helping agriculture be more sustainable and efficient, including case studies of different farms around the world.
