Teaching practice second phase 4 sem🧡✨

Day ( 20/1/25) Monday

This day was quiet pleasant. As per the timetable I have no class. But I got substitution on 8 th standard( chemistry 8H)

Topic: surface tension of water and components of water

Reflection on Planning for Teaching Surface Tension of Water and Components of Water

While planning this lesson, I focused on using simple, relatable examples and experiments to explain the concepts effectively. For surface tension, I included examples like insects walking on water and the spherical shape of water droplets to illustrate cohesive forces.

For components of water, the Hoffman voltmeter experiment was chosen to demonstrate the electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen, making the concept clear and practical. These activities ensure active student engagement and connect theory to real-life observations.

Reflection on Action: Surface Tension of Water and Components of Water

Teaching this lesson was a valuable experience. The example of insects walking on water and observing water droplets forming a spherical shape helped students easily grasp the concept of surface tension. They actively participated in discussions, showing curiosity about the cohesive forces in water.

The Hoffman voltmeter experiment for components of water was particularly effective. Students were fascinated to see water split into hydrogen and oxygen, which reinforced their understanding. The hands-on activities and real-life examples made the class interactive and engaging, ensuring the concepts were well understood.

Insight Drawn: Surface Tension of Water and Components of Water

Using real-life examples and experiments significantly enhances students' understanding of scientific concepts. Visualizing phenomena like water droplets forming spherical shapes and the electrolysis of water through the Hoffman voltmeter deepens their engagement and curiosity. Practical, hands-on methods make abstract concepts easier to comprehend and more memorable.
