There is a philosophy that says that if something is unobservable — unobservable in principle — it is not part of science. If there is no way to falsify or confirm a hypothesis, it belongs to the realm of metaphysical speculation, together with astrology and spiritualism. By that standard, most of the universe has no scientific reality — it’s just a figment of our imaginations.” – Leonard Susskind
Physics, a branch of science, helps mankind disclose the mysteries of the world and life. In modern world, this branch of science leads the creative developments in science such as space mission, mystery behind the black hole, god’s article, etc.
At Sainiketan, we have a proficient team of teachers in the Faculty of Physics. We always put our best scientific efforts to the enrichment and to the bloom of outstanding skills of the students. Our students displayed their innovating skills in ‘ finding out electricity from various fruits and vegetables’; in a comparative study – ‘the amount of energy produced by various fruits and vegetables’ and also in ‘water level indicator which helps to indicate the water level of dam ,water tanks, etc’ , at a science exhibition held at Sainiketan Campus.
We have a holistic pedagogical dimension across the smart classes, laboratories and PowerPoint presentations, which help students to comprehend the concepts very easily.
The Faculty is taking better steps for inculcating the scientific interest among the learner community.
Chemistry is the study of the way materials are put together and their behaviour under varied conditions. This science, more than any other, involves all of one’s senses: seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, and smelling. It is a springboard in to other scientific fields.
The history of Chemistry essentially started with the alchemists who tried in vain to transform everything imaginable into gold. All of their efforts to produce gold failed. These so-called “mad chemists” are the forefathers of experimentation. They spent time studying the problem, designed innumerable experiments and unlike other scientists of their days, they actually experimented. Special equipment was not available for them to order through science catalogues. They designed and made all of the needed flasks and beakers. Some of these designs, in modified form, are still used today in our modern chemistry laboratories.
These chemists of the past were the first to use what is now described as the scientific method a logical approach to the solution of a problem through experimentation. Even today, just the mention of the word chemistry too often conjures up the image of a “mad scientist” hovering over strange bubbling flasks. Unfortunately, explosions, danger, and flesh-eating acids are associated with chemistry.
Even with our vast knowledge of chemistry, there is still so much to be learned and discovered. There are many opportunities in the field of Chemistry for a person with an inquisitive mind and a spirit of adventure. Much is yet to be learned, but great fun and excitement is in store for the beginning scientist in discovering the Chemistry secrets that have already been unlocked.

Here we, the Faculty of Chemistry at Sainiketan, encourage our students towards innovating skills and applications in industrial chemistry, bio chemistry and many more across its specialized studies. Our learners are always taught how to learn- an outcome based education.
