Indiannica Learning Galaxy Science for Class 3

Galaxy is a course in science conforming to the vision of the National Curriculum Framework, 2005. This course includes textbooks for classes 1 to 8, which contain numerous activities, experiments, discussions, and projects. The activities motivate learners to find out things by doing rather than learning by rote. In order to adopt a holistic approach, we have integrated science with other subjects, such as mathematics, in the books for classes 3–8.”
