Teaching practice (week 7) 10/09/2025 - 12/09/2025

 The seventh week of my teaching practice began on 10th September 2025, as the school reopened after the Onam vacation on 8th September. Returning to the classroom atmosphere after the short break was refreshing, and the students were equally enthusiastic to resume their lessons and activities.On 10th September, I handled a class for  9F during the fifth period. The topic taught was “Inertia” from the chapter Laws of Motion. Before introducing the new concept, a quick review of Newton’s First Law of Motion was done to establish a connection between the previous and current topics. To make the concept more relatable, I began with Activity 1, where a video of passengers moving in a bus was shown to help students visualize the effect of inertia in real-life situations. This was followed by a hands-on classroom experiment, which helped students explore and understand the idea more deeply through direct observation and discussion.The next class was conducted on 12th September 2025, continuing the same chapter. The topic for the day was “Mass and Inertia.” The session was designed to be entirely experiential, allowing students to actively engage with the concept through simple yet effective demonstrations such as the card-and-coin experiment and the empty and filled water bottle experiment. These activities sparked curiosity and provided students with a clear understanding of how mass influences inertia.During this week, I took a total of two classes, both of which were highly interactive and focused on developing conceptual clarity through observation and participation.

          The co-curricular atmosphere of the school was equally vibrant this week. A quiz competition for high school students was conducted under the suoervision of the Social Science Club, encouraging healthy academic competition and teamwork among students. Furthermore, the Annual School Sports Meet was held on 11th and 12th September, showcasing the students’ enthusiasm and sportsmanship. Various track and field events were organized, and the selected students were later sent to represent the school at the sub-district level sports competitions.Overall, the week was a blend of active learning and vibrant school spirit, making it both academically enriching and personally rewarding.

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...

 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...
