Need For Change• Child today , home , parents, peers• Environment, exposure , resources, internet,• No old time reading habits• Recreation is different• Supposed exam pressure, competition• No will to write • Focus is different

Methodology and

Pedagogy

Methodology• The way or track we adopt to reach

the goal • Goal being the desired learning

outcome• May be set by you , school

consortium or external board --- CBSE……..

PedagogyMethods of giving instructions to learner so as to

achieve a change in behavior• Pedagogical analysis a must Concept identification Objective age, level, class specific Method most appropriate Learning experience to be givenEvaluation of response patternKnowing how children learn

Understanding class level

• Not by age• Not by height• Not by weight• Exposure to environment • Talk and listen to students • Observe and be with them • Substitution periods can be a boon

Be different …

Overview before in depth study

• Talk of the garden before the flower or the leaves

• Electrical appliances at home before electrical circuits

I want to know more

Understanding the ability of each child

• Give freedom of expression, let them talk• Allow new experiences to come into class• Be patient• Be fearless

Your syllabus will get completed

Honing and Nurturing • Each child is important• Each child is different• Each child has different aspirations

Diverse group continuously changing and growing

So We Need to mix ……Formal

• Blue print • Major objectives

• Content • Demo, Experiment,

activity• Evaluate

Informal• Blue print

• Major objectives and more

• Content • Experience individual pace• Evaluate

Methodology for

meaningful engagement

‘Exploratory’ Lesson Plan

Use of internet

Science ClubGroup

to research and

share experiences

Syllabus- Grade 7• Animal nutrition• Human digestive system, modes of

feeding• Nutrition is a complex process involving

ingestion, digestion, absorption and egestion

What is common?

The mouth and the buccal cavityFunction of • teeth• Saliva• Tongue• Types of teeth

What if the arrangement of teeth in the mouth was different ?

How big is the system in length ?

Science Bulletin Board• Paste articles on health and importance of food • Photographs of interesting tiffin ideas • Recipes for nutritional easy to make foods • Diet charts• Health and hygiene updates• Special day celebration milk day ,egg day • Any announcement for science group look up

articles , find articles related to nutrition

The Alimentary Canal -Facts• Mouth• Food pipe• Stomach• The small intestine• Large intestine

What is the function of each?

-How big? , how small? -What do our insides look like? -How are the juices produced in the stomach? -Mouth?

How why when wherehowcome suppose what if Assuming• A question may show your power• It may challenge a concept• It may take the lesson forward• It may trigger enquiry

The power of questions

‘Backward Design’ Lesson Plan

Backward design lesson plan

What is backward design?• Backward design starts with the desired

results. • What is it that we want our students to learn? • What concepts need to be developed?• Are they based on content standards? • Are they based on Life Skills?

Backward Design Stages:

• Identify Desired Results • Determine Acceptable Evidence • Plan Learning Experiences and

Instruction

Needs Continuous Assessment

rethink

Use the desired learning outcome

To Plan all resources ,To Gather e resources To Collect material for experiments and activitiesTo develop questions for assessment and evaluation Test should be to evaluate learning and not eliminate

Example

Teaching thrust and pressure , or germination of seeds

Experiments and activities

• Ant and water•My aero plane strongest

Show and Tell • Salad sprouts Use an egg tray

Now go back to

• List of seeds they used for the germination experiment

• From seed to plant , are all sprouts the same • What is essential for a seed to germinate ?• What is the difference between Dicot and

monocot plants? • Why do roots go downwards and rest of the

plant upwards?

Science Clinic• Problem solving by seniors for

juniors• Everybody to help everybody with

resources • Internet research options to

understand any topic

‘Time goes crazy’ lesson plan

Too much in too little time Art of using

learners to teach learners

Choose different activities which children like and get them involved with

Video making • My park• My school garden• Traffic in front of my school• My dog• The bird on my tree• Speedometer of my car

Presentations with a difference

• Class 8 Light• What is inside our eyes?• Why do some of us wear spectacles?• How should we take care of our eyes ?

Instructions• You may work in a team of 2 or3• your presentation should contain not more

than 15 slides • They may show Parts of the eye• Defects of vision and correction • Survey 20 fellow students wearing

spectacles , find their power and also the colour of their iris

• Taking care of our eyes

Inside our eyes

How do we see ?

NAME POWER COLOUR

1. Naman Swarup - 1.5 Brown2. Siddharth Gurnani - 3 Black3. Rohan Kukreja - 1.75 Brown4. Aman Chawla - 4.5 Brown 5. Vividh Awasthi - 5.5 Black6. Rishi Talwar + 4.5 Brown7. Anya Handa - 0.7 Black8. Yash Jaipuria - 0.5 Black

Care of The Eyes• If advised use suitable spectacles• Too little or too much light is bad for the eyes• Do not view the sun or powerful light source

directly• Do not rub your eyes• Always have the correct posture for reading or

using the computer• Mobile phone • Balanced diet with vitamin A

Show the Presentation to class

Evaluate on the basis of :

1. Content

2. Accuracy of content

3 Presentation , and layout

4. Research and value addition to class

As Far as possible all children must benefit from the

learning activities which the class provides

Display their work as far as possibleEvaluate projects with students of the class

Science Exhibitions Every idea is important

It should be original

allow science magic tricksFun with science

Emotional Lesson Plan

Bones and skeletonor friction

Newspapers in Class Learning is real

Learning is relevant

Learning is for life

With Emotions
