Day 16: 30 December 2024
In VIII, I conducted the diagnostic test. I also managed to start my portion in IX and VIII in later periods.
Day 17: 31 December 2024
By some coincidence, I had two experimental demonstration lessons in VIII and IX. Vibrations in VIII and power in IX. It is interesting how much students want to participate in experiment even though they have no idea what they are doing.
Day 18: 01 January 2025
For the lesson in VIII, I had to make a simple pendulum out of available materials and that was rewarding. IX, current electricity was introduced by analogy.
Day 19: 03 January 2025
VIII was lesson continuing the nature of natural frequency. IX was introducing various sources of emf and their safety measures.
Day 20: 06 January 2025
VIII was discussing pitch and loudness, and in IX, I used simulation to teach about combination of cells.
Conclusion
Both experimental and ICT methods seem to be getting a lot better response from the students from ICT alone or traditional teaching.
Suggestions
- Experimental setups can be utilized more
