National Science Exhibition

Guidelines for the preparation of Exhibits and Models and Organising exhibitions for SLSMEE

Intending to encourage, popularize, and inculcating scientific temper among the children of the country, NCERT organizes a national level science exhibition every year where children showcase their talents in science and mathematics and their applications in different areas related to our everyday lives.

In 1988 with the birth centenary celebration of Jawaharlal Nehru, the National Science Exhibition was renamed as the ‘Jawaharlal Nehru National Science Exhibition for Children’.

This year is being celebrated as the Year of Mathematics, and to give more emphasis on environment-related issues, this exhibition has been renamed the Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics, and Environment Exhibition (JNNSMEE) for Children.

NCERT organises an exhibition in two phases to ensure the widest possible participation and involvement of students and teachers in the programme.

In the first phase, exhibitions are held in each and every state and union territory from the district to the state level. This first phase is known as State Level Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition (SLSMEE) for Children.

All participating states, union territories and other educational organisations like CBSE (for its affiliated independent public schools), Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, DAE Central Schools and

Demonstration Multipurpose Schools of NCERT forward their selected entries to NCERT for consideration for participation in the National Exhibition, the second phase of NCERT’s organizing of Science, Mathematics, and Environment Exhibitions.

The National Exhibition, now called JNNSMEE, is organized by NCERT on a rotational basis every year in a state/UT. The exhibits for display in this national exhibition are selected by NCERT based on a notified criterion.

Guidelines for conduct of District level & State level Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition for Children

Guidelines for the preparation of exhibits, models and organizing exhibitions by Department Of Mathematics And Science, SCERT TS, Hyderabad

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi, organizes the Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics, and Environment Exhibition (JNNSMEE) for children every year to popularize science, Mathematics, and environmental Education among children, teachers, and the public in general. As in the past several years, such exhibitions are organized from district to state levels.

The objectives of the exhibition are:

• To provide a forum for children to pursue their natural curiosity, creativity, innovation and inventiveness;
• To make children feel that science and mathematics are all around us and we can gain knowledge as well as solve many problems by relating the learning process to the physical and social environment.
• To lay emphasis on the development of science and mathematics as a major instrument for achieving goals of self-reliance, socio-economic and socio ecological development of the nation and the world.
• To analyze how science and mathematics have developed and are affected by many diverse individuals, cultures, societies and environment.
• To appreciate the role of science and mathematics in meeting the challenges of life such as climate change, opening new avenues in the areas of agriculture, fertilizer, food processing, biotechnology, green energy, disaster management, information and communication technology, astronomy, transport, games and sports etc.
• To create awareness about environmental issues and concerns and inspire children to devise innovative ideas towards their prevention and mitigation.

Guidelines for Organizing One Day Seminar

• Seminar may be organized in the evening timings of the science exhibition at district level and at State level.
• During this One-Day Seminar on “Millets for Health and Sustainable Planet”, children, teachers, teacher educators and others may be invited to witness the seminar.
• The winner at the District level will participate at the State Level Seminar which will be conducted during SLSMEE.

The other Activities may be taken up for District level and State level Science exhibitions

• Quiz competition
• Meet the Scientists – Interaction with Scientists
• Drawing and painting competition o Essay competition.
• Popular Science Lectures
• Poster competitions
• Science based cultural programmes

Dos and Don’ts : Teaching learning aids should not be permitted for the student’s category. Judgment of exhibits may be done on the first day onwards to avoid the judgment done in haste.

The judgment of exhibits shall be done at two levels at preliminary level (initial screening of exhibits for first two days) and at Secondary level on third day (judgment over the exhibits identified in initial screening).
