Teaching practice(week 8):22/09/2025-26/09/2025

 The eighth week of my teaching practice was marked by active classroom engagements, meaningful learning experiences, and vibrant co-curricular events. During this week, I handled various topics across different classes, integrating interactive methods and practical activities to enhance student understanding.


On 22nd September, I took a class for 8D on the topic Thermal Conductivity. To begin with, I reviewed the students’ prior knowledge about malleability and ductility. For Activity 1, I provided different types of vessels to help students observe and identify how materials conduct heat, leading them to the concept of thermal conductivity. In Activity 2, the definition of thermal conductivity was discussed and clarified. During the closure activity, students were shown different objects and were asked to classify them as good conductors and poor conductors of heat.


On 23rd September, I handled a session for 9F on Newton’s Second Law of Motion. The class followed the 5E model. I began by checking the students’ previous understanding of inertia and Newton’s First Law of Motion. For the engage and explore stages, I presented a model and encouraged students to interpret and explain it. Then, during the explain phase, I elaborated on the law with suitable examples. The class concluded with evaluation and etiquette-based questions to assess their comprehension and classroom behavior.


On 24th September, I conducted a class on the topic Metallic Cluster at 8:30 a.m. The session started with a riddle to capture the students’ attention. In Activity 1, an experiment was demonstrated, and students were guided to frame the definition based on their observation. For Activity 2, an iron nail polishing activity using sandpaper was carried out to give them a real-hand experience. During the closure activity, different objects were shown, and students were asked to categorize them appropriately, reinforcing their learning.


The week was also filled with co-curricular activities. On 25th September, various on-stage events of the School Kalolsavam were conducted, showcasing students’ artistic talents. However, due to heavy rainfall, the school was closed on 26th September following a holiday announcement by the Government of Kerala. The postponed second-day programs and prize distribution ceremony were held on 29th September, adding a celebratory end to the week’s activities.


Overall, the week was a perfect blend of academic enrichment and cultural celebration. The classes provided students with experiential learning opportunities, while the co-curricular events encouraged their creative expression and teamwork, making it a truly rewarding week of teaching practice.

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...
