Exploring the World of Senses
About Course
An inquiry-based science programme for curious 10–12 year-olds. Rather than handing over facts, our mentors help children notice carefully, ask sharper questions, build their own explanations, try things when stuck, and argue from evidence — the habits that turn raw ability into real competence.
Each module runs as a weekly 90-minute live session on Zoom, in a small cohort of equally curious children. Sessions move in short blocks — a hands-on start, an investigation, a discussion, and a few protected minutes to pull the thinking together — because a ten-year-old’s best thinking comes in bursts, not lectures.
Across the year, students explore ideas like the body as a machine, size and scale, why things float, sink, spread or mix, living things and their relationships, and above all how scientists actually know things — observation versus inference, designing a fair test, and judging a claim or a viral video with that same thinking.
Mentor: Rashmi Jejurikar — a science educator with deep experience in inquiry-based teaching for gifted learners.
