For school teaching, I chose 8th std. students for whom I taught "Force" from physics.My class began at 6:30 pm during which I introduced about force by relating some facts from real life.Initially ,I tried to bring the push/pull to their consideration to introduce about force.I also used various properties such as chalk,paper,sponge etc to work out the activities.Also,I depended on ICT for delivering the concepts.          My second hour be...

Also,discussion of real life examples of endothermic and exothermic reactions were helpful for better understanding of the concept   Overall,the class was good as I received good response from the students.

I began my class almost around 11:40 am in which I taught about the "physical and chemical changes",which is the introductory part .I began the class by asking children whether they have observed changes happening around them from which I asked them to differentiate between permanent and temporary changes.The class developed as I played few videos of permanent and chemi...

Classes were overall ...
