Making Science Make Sense


As a science and research based company with major businesses in health care, nutrition and innovative materials, Bayer has a strong stake in helping to improve science education and to ensure that all individuals are scientifically literate.

 

  

The Making Science Make Sense (MSMS) program is an initiative that advances science literacy among students through hands-on, inquiry-based science learning. The students need to learn science the way scientists do - by doing it! The aim of this program is to make the process of studying science interesting and more exciting for children.











In India, MSMS was launched in 2007. The program was conducted for class 5 and 6 in four leading schools in Mumbai. It is in class 5 and 6 that students get introduced to science as a full fledged subject of study.
  






Bayer reached out to over 1000 students and the program culminated in an inter - school quiz competition,”Battle MSMS”, that saw overwhelming participation.

In 2008, Bayer India will advance ‘Making Science Make Sense’ to another four schools and reach out to around 2000 students. The target group remains the same - students of class 5 and 6.

The program includes live demonstrations, experiments and interactive sessions. Audio - visual tools are used to enhance the learning experience. Additionally, the program also covers sessions on ‘Environmental Science’. The Animal Health division of Bayer HealthCare will conduct sessions on ‘Pet Care’ as a part of the extended module.
