Phase 2 -week 1(27-10-2025 to 31-10-2025)

 The second phase of my teaching practice commenced on 27th October 2025. However, I did not get any class on that day. The classes officially began from 28th October 2025, marking the start of an enriching week of learning and experiences.


On 28th October, I handled Class 9F during the first period and started a new chapter on “Buoyant Force.” The session began with an engaging bus section as an introductory activity to connect students with the concept. For Activity 1, I demonstrated an experiment using a bucket and a mug, helping students visualize the upward force acting on the object. In Activity 2, the difference in the weight of the mug inside and outside water was shown, and from this, the concept of buoyant force was derived. The class concluded with adequate closure and meaningful follow-up activities to reinforce learning.


On 29th October, I again took Class 9F, and the topic was “Measurement of Force.” The session began by revising the previously learned concept of buoyant force. Activities were then performed to calculate the buoyant force, followed by an explanation of the laws of weight, leading to the derivation of the main concept. The students participated actively and showed great enthusiasm throughout the class.


On 30th October, I handled Class 8D and introduced the topic “Reaction of Metals with Acids.” To begin with, I presented different common substances and asked students to identify the similar taste among them, leading to the introduction of acids. Two experimental activities were performed to show the evolution of hydrogen gas, which made the concept clear and interesting. The session concluded with closure and follow-up activities to consolidate the topic.


On 31st October, I continued with Class 8D, teaching the topic “Reaction of Acids with Carbonates.” The class began with a recap of the previous lesson on reactions of acids with metals. Using various apparatus, I demonstrated activities to explain the new concept effectively. A video presentation was also included to enhance understanding. The session ended with proper closure and enrichment activities to encourage further exploration.


The week was also filled with co-curricular activities that enriched the school environment. On Wednesday, a cultural program titled “Kaliyattam” was organized by Archana Women’s Centre, Ettumanoor, focusing on women empowerment and the protection of rivers and lakes. On Friday morning, a programme was conducted by the SPC unit, featuring a run against drug abuse campaign. The event concluded with a fresher up session.


Overall, the week was a meaningful and rewarding start to the second phase of teaching practice, blending academic engagement with social awareness and creative expression.

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...
