In 1423H, Sciences Exhibition has been inaugurated at
the Department of Natural Sciences, Teachers College. It
aims at developing scientific skills of the students
such as comprehension, persuasion, and experimentation.
In this exhibition, the focus is on Primary School
students in an attempt to enhance their self-concept and
self-esteem through observation of empirical
experiments.
The Exhibition has many corners including:
·
Living Animal Corner
It includes a lot of species of reptiles such as snakes,
lizards, and scorpions. The student can observe the
behavior of such species and hence deal with them.
·
Geology Corner
It includes specimens of minerals, the chemical
composition and structure of minerals, the composition
and origin of rocks, the origin of landforms and their
modification by dynamic processes, the chemical
composition of earth materials and the chemical changes
that occur within the earth and on its surface, the
erosion and deposition of rock particles by wind, water,
or ice, and human-made structures such as tunnels,
mines, dams, bridges, and building foundations.
