Week 7

 During the seventh week of teaching practice, on 13th January 2026, I handled class 8D on the topic Hard Water and Soft Water from the Chemistry unit Water. The lesson was introduced by showing a video on different sources of water, which helped to create interest among the students. As Activity 1, a demonstration of lather formation using hard water and soft water was conducted. The students observed the activity with great curiosity and enthusiasm. Following this, the chemical aspects of hard water and soft water were explained in detail, enabling students to understand the reason for the difference in lather formation.

On 14th January 2026, I took class 9F on the topic Law of Conservation of Energy from the Physics unit Work and Energy. As part of the introductory activity, a matching activity related to the concept was given to the students. For Activity 1, a model of a balloon toy car was displayed to demonstrate energy conversion. Activity 2 included showing a video on a hydroelectric power station, which helped students relate the concept to real-life applications. Follow-up and enrichment activities were also given to reinforce learning.

On 16th January 2026, I handled class 9F on the topic Power, which was the final topic of the unit Work and Energy. A game-based activity related to the Law of Conservation of Energy was provided as an engaging starter. Activity 1 consisted of a group-based classroom activity that promoted cooperative learning. Activity 2 focused on problem-solving exercises, which helped to enhance the analytical and problem-solving skills of the students.

The week was further enriched with various co-curricular activities. Students actively participated in all the activities conducted. Two students from the school were selected to participate in the State School Arts Festival, and one student secured an A grade. Additionally, the Chief Minister’s Mega Quiz was conducted during this week, providing students with an opportunity to enhance their general knowledge and competitive skills.

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...

 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...
