Teaching practice (week 5) 11/08/2025 - 16/08/2025

 The fifth week of teaching practice marked the completion of one chapter and the beginning of another, with students actively engaging in exploring the fundamental laws governing motion.On 11th August, I conducted a class for 9F on the topic Equations of Motion, which was the final concept in the chapter Equations of Motion. The introduction began with a riddle, creating curiosity and a lively classroom atmosphere. In Activity 1, students participated in a card-matching exercise, pairing terms and quantities related to motion. In Activity 2, the equations of motion were introduced and derived step by step. The session concluded with a short recap, ensuring students could connect the mathematical relationships with real-life motion.On 12th August, a new chapter, Laws of Motion, was introduced to 9F. The first topic, Resultant Force, was explored through first-hand experiences and real-life examples, enabling students to understand how multiple forces combine to produce a resultant effect.On 13th August, I continued with  9F for the topic Balanced Force during the first period. The lesson began with revisiting the previous concept of resultant force. To help students visualize the idea, both live demonstrations and video presentations were used. The activities effectively illustrated how balanced forces act on an object without changing its state of motion.On 14th August, I handled two sessions for 9F.The first class focused on Unbalanced Force, conducted through the Concept Attainment Model. Students were given positive and negative examples to observe patterns, followed by a set of unlabeled examples that they had to classify as positive or negative. This interactive strategy encouraged critical thinking and concept formulation.The second class was based on Galileo’s Observations. An inclined plane model was designed and demonstrated to the students. A visual presentation of Galileo’s experiment was also shown, and the inference drawn by Galileo was discussed in detail, helping students relate the experiment to Newton’s later discoveries.On 16th August, I taught 9F the topic First Law of Motion introduced by Sir Isaac Newton. The class began with demonstrations using an automatic train and a mobile car, allowing students to observe inertia in action. The session effectively conveyed the essence of Newton’s First Law through engaging visuals and hands-on understanding.

The week was enriched with different co curricular activities. On 13th August, an awareness class was given to students on the topic 'Health and hygiene'.on 14th August the prize distribution for the winners of hiroshima day programmes were givenOn August 15,Independence day celebration were held in the school.

Week 9

 During this week, I had the opportunity to handle Class 9F for the introduction of the chapter Sound and its continuation. On 27th January 2026, the chapter was introduced for the first time using the 5E instructional model. Since this model emphasizes active student engagement and inquiry-based learning, the class initially felt challenging to manage. However, as the lesson progressed, the topic itself captured the students’ interest. The use of varied learning experiences related to sound helped in sustaining their attention. The effective use of sound-based stimuli created curiosity among students and motivated them to participate actively, leading to better classroom interaction and engagement. On 29th January 2026, which was the last working day of School Internship Phase 2, I took the sixth period for Class 9F on the topic Propagation of Sound. The lesson began with a game-based activity where students classified sounds into artificial and natural sounds, which created an en...

                    This was my first week of teaching practice at VPMHSS Vellarada for my third semester teaching practice in  B.Ed programme. I reached the school at 9:00 am in  all days of the week without any delay. In this week, I took 4 classes.                         On 16th July I took a lesson plan on 8D based on the topic molecules of the chapter Elements and compounds.I used  concept attaintment model for the class.During the first phase ,I presented some positive examples including oxygen ,carbon dioxide ,water etc and negative example Iron, hydrogen atom, helium etc, then I ask students to compare both examples and find out the essential attributes and after that I gave some unlabelled examples and ask the students to distinguish it into positive and negative examples and after that I analysed the session and presented a chart showing the defi...

Teaching practice (week 2) 21/07/2025 - 26/07/2025

 The second week of my teaching practice turned out to be an enriching experience with both classroom sessions and co-curricular activities adding variety to the week.                     On 21st July, I handled a class for 8D during the 7th period. The topic was “Elements”, and I tried to make the session more engaging through different activities. For the introduction, I performed a simple experiment followed by an activity that caught the attention of the students. I introduced the concept of atoms and built the foundation for the topic. For the closure activity, I gave the students a word rearrangement task, where they had to form the definition of elements. This helped to reinforce the learning in an interactive manner.On 26th July, I got another class for 8D during the 8th period. The topic was “Compounds”, which I presented using the Concept Attainment Model. I began the session with positive and negative examples, which...
