Week 8

 The eight-week teaching practice commenced on 19th January 2026. On the first day, optional subject observation was conducted. I handled Class 8D with the topic “Surface Tension – the Unique Property of Water.” For the introduction, students’ previous knowledge was elicited using a collocation activity and tissue paper demonstration.

For Activity 1, a pin-and-water matching activity was given to help students understand the concept of surface tension. Activity 2 involved a magic experiment using milk, which effectively demonstrated surface tension and provided an engaging learning experience for the students.

On 20th January 2026, I took a class for 8D on the topic “Boiling Point of Water.” The lesson was structured based on the AOM model. Although the class initially showed slight boredom, the students gradually became actively involved and participated well in the learning process.

On 21st January 2026, I again handled Class 8D on the topic “Boiling Point and Pressure – the Unique Nature of Water.” The lesson was based on the Inquiry Training Model. The different phases of the model were explained clearly, and appropriate learning aids were used to support experimentation and conceptual understanding.

The week was further enriched with co-curricular activities. The screening process for the Annual Day function was conducted during this week. Separate screenings were held for LP, UP, and HSS sections, and suitable programmes were selected for the Annual Day celebration

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...

Teaching practice (week 2) 21/07/2025 - 26/07/2025

 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...
