Day 7 - Teaching practice (13 October, 2023)

Class at 1st period in 8Q. Revision of the previous chapters for the unit test series.

Chemistry class at 4th hour in 9C1. Chapter "Periodic table" :: topic "Representative elements & Noble gas" & “Lanthanides, Actinoids & transition elements”. ICT presentation & Blackboard were used as A-V aids. Overall it feels like, students were able to understand the modern periodic table closely.

Substitution at 5th hour in 9Q. Shown some videos related to the Gravitation chapter & summarized them. 

My Preetha teacher gave a substitution class at 6th hour in 9B1. Chapter : “Periodic table” :: topic : “History of periodic table”.

Day 6 - Teaching practice (12 October, 2023)

Main gate line duty…

Physics class at 2nd period in 9Q. Chapter:”Gravitation” :: concept:”Value of acceleration due to gravity”. It was a concluding session as our teaching practice will be temporarily suspended on account of the second-semester university examinations(with effect from 13th October, 2023 AN to 1st November, 2023 FN). We worked out textbook questions on the Gravitation chapter & did the previous year's questions. Overall, it feels like that students got a clear understanding on the concept of gravity, & its applications. Assured to provide students with notes. 

Peer observation class of our Sruthy (Natural Science) in the 5th period in 9U.

Peer observation class of our Divya (Mathematics) in the 7th period in 8N.

Day 5 - Teaching practice (10 October, 2023)

Morning main gate line duty.

Physics class at 3rd period in 8Q. Chapter: "Magnetism" :: concept: ”Magnetic properties & magnetic compass” & provided notes. Used PHET simulation "Magnet & Compass", Blackboard, “Magnet & compass” PHET simulation as A-V aids & Bar magnets, Magnetic compass material aids. My Prince sir observed my class. My classmates, Priyanka(Physical Science) & Sruthy(Natural Science) were invited for the peer observation. Also, my Neena teacher (Physical Science, MTTC) observed my class. Overall it feels like, students got a clear idea about properties of magnet & magnetic compass. My Prince sir gave me confidence for taking class.

Chemistry class at 4th period in 9C1. Chapter: "Periodic table" & topic: Periodic trends in the periodic table". Used the UBUNTU Educational application "Kalzium", blackboard, & ICT oriented activities as A-V aids. My Preetha teacher observed my class. My classmate Priyanka(Physical Science) was invited for peer observation. Overall, it feels like students will be now able to write electronic configurations using atomic numbers & to write the group & periods of the element.

Had a Physics class at 7th hour in 9Q. Chapter: "Gravitation" :: on thetopic: "Acceleration due to Gravity". I used PHET simulation of "Spring & Masses", ICT-oriented activities, & Blackboard as A-V aids & mass bodies (Chalks, box) as Material aids. The class got a vibe as most were interested in the topic. The doubts went out of the topics due to curiosity. Students asked many "Why" questions as "Why do Helium-filled balloons rise up against gravity". Although my class went out of syllabus & topic, I was able to cover the designated topic within the time limit. Feels like, students got a clear idea about acceleration due to gravity & how it varies. 

Day 4 - Teaching practice (09 October, 2023)

No allotted hours. 

Had noon meal duty. 

Substitution class for Physical Education hour (7th hour) at 9Q. 

The day ended with line duty.

Day 3 - Teaching practice (06 October, 2023)

Physics class in 1st period in 8Q. Introduced chapter : "Magnetism", topic: "Natural & artificial magnets". I used the presentation &  Blackboard as A-V aids & and two disc magnets as material aids. It feels like, students got a clear idea about types of magnets. 

Chemistry class at 4th period in 9C1, & took the concept "History of periodic table" ::"Moseley's modern periodic table".  Ubuntu application "KALZIUM" & Blackboard were used as A-V aid & activity sheets as material aid. My Preetha teacher observed the class. It feels like, I was able to introduce the modern periodic table effectively.

Next, with Sruthy (Natural Science) got a substitution class for 6th period in 7M.

The day ended with line duty…

Day 2 - Teaching practice (05 October, 2023)

Physics class at 2nd period in 9Q (Room: 105, boys). A total of 43 students were in the class. Chapter :  "Gravitation", Concept: "Force of gravity & Universal law of gravitation" & it's numericals. Used “Gravity force lab” PHET simulation, ICT oriented quiz activity, & blackboard as A-V aids. Individual attention was given to students to work out problems on their own. Feels like, I was able to give students a general idea about the Universal law of gravitation & its application.

Noon meal duty...

Evening line duty.

Day 1 - Teaching practice (03 October, 2023)

We, teacher trainees, were given a warm welcome by our HM Rani teacher & our Principal Fr. Nelson.

Physics class at 3rd period in 8Q (Room 500a, boys), my Prince Sir (Physics, St. Mary's, Pattom) introduced me to the class.

Chemistry class at 4th period in 9C1 (girls), Introduced myself to the class & my Preetha teacher (Chemistry, St. Mary's, Pattom) observed the class. Introduced the chapter "Periodic table". Topic : "history of periodic table upto Newlands - law of octaves". Used presentation & blackboard as A-V aids. Feels like, I was able to make students recognise the intense efforts of different scientists in building periodic table.

Duty of noon meal.

Physics class at 7th period at 9Q (Room number: 105, boys). Introduced myself to the class. My Prince sir observed my class. Introduced the chapter "Gravitation", The topic : "Universal law of gravitation". Discussed many fictions in the class. I used ICT video resources, simulations & blackboard as A-V aids. Feels like, I was able to make students understand the gravity effectively.

The day successfully ended with evening line duty.
