WHOSE MODEL?

As soon as Miss Sonali entered Class VI to teach Science, the children went quiet.

WHOSE MODEL?

"School has begun and exams will start soon. You all should get serious about your studies," she said sternly.

"Each one of you has to complete a project. You may choose from any topic that we studied till now or will study and make a model on it. You have 10 days to do it. Remember that the marks you score in the project will be added to your half yearly grade." 

The students started discussing their models after that.

After ten days, Miss Sonali announced, "Tomorrow everyone will bring their model and keep it in the Science Lab. Then during the Science period, each one will present their model for two minutes."

The next day, as soon as everyone came to school, they kept their models in the science lab. When they returned from the assembly, Vihaan was already in the class.

"You didn't attend the assembly today?" Amit asked.

"I was late, so I came straight to the class", Vihaan answered.

When the bell rang for the science period, everyone walked to the lab excitedly and stood next to their models. Miss Sonali was waiting.

"You all have worked hard and made wonderful models. Now I invite you to speak about your model," Miss Sonali said.

Sonam who was fond of music had made a model of Jal Tarang, a musical instrument. She had filled bowls with water at different levels, and tapped them with a pair of sticks to create different musical notes from each bowl. She played the tune of the song 'We shall overcome' on it.

"This is so good. Tell us something about it. How are the different notes produced?" Miss Sonali asked.
