Teaching practice (week 8):15/09/2025 -19/09/2025

During 8th week, I took three classes. On 15th september I took class for 9F on the topic momentum.I began by checking the students’ prior knowledge through a short interactive discussion. To make the concept more concrete, I provided a real-hand experience using Newton’s Cradle, which helped them visualize how inertia works in real situations. The understanding was further reinforced by giving a related problem to solve, followed by appropriate closure activities to summarize the concept effectively.

On 17th September, I handled a class for 9F on the topic Rate of Change of Momentum. The session started with a few thought-provoking questions to assess their previous understanding of momentum. For Activity 1, a numerical problem was given to strengthen their analytical skills, followed by Activity 2, where a higher-level problem was introduced to encourage critical thinking. The class concluded with a meaningful closure activity that helped the students consolidate the learning outcomes.

On the same day, I took a class for 8D on Electrical Conductivity. To introduce the topic, I provided some real objects and asked students to classify them as malleable and ductile metals. In Activity 1, I demonstrated a model to explain electrical conductivity, while in Activity 2, students actively participated in classifying objects as conductive or non-conductive. The class ended with a closure activity where students successfully sorted materials based on their conductivity, followed by a follow-up and enrichment activity for extended learning.

Apart from classroom activities, the week was vibrant with co-curricular engagements. Off-stage competitions for the School Kalolsavam were conducted, where students showcased their talents enthusiastically. On 18th and 19th September, Science, Social Science, and IT exhibitions were held, displaying the creativity and scientific spirit of the students. A yoga session and an awareness class on entrepreneurship were also organized, making the week more holistic and enriching for both teachers and students.

Overall, the week was a blend of effective teaching, interactive learning, and vibrant co-scholastic experiences, contributing to the comprehensive development of the student

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...
