……..hence proved and verified!!!

by

Thoughtfully the teacher devised a way to elucidate students that the sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. During the activity the students drew a quadrilateral, made cut out of angles at vertices using tracing paper, arranged 4 angles at center point, forming a complete circle.

Students could relate the “unknown to the known” concept that a complete circle is 360°. The skills of critical thinking and creativity were primarily focused through the activity.

Human Impacts on The Environment

by

The hands-on approach helped students understand the impact humans have on the physical environment. Students came up with various ideas to depict causes like: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation etc. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. Students analyzed that these negative impacts can affect human behavior and can prompt mass migrations or battles over clean water etc. It made the students aware of their role in keeping the surroundings clean.

Learning Facts with Fiction!!!

by

Learning phases of the moon just became evident and fascinating. The teacher engaged the students in the task of learning by doing and afterwards to verbalize what they learned. The activity gave them a great visual as to how the moon revolves around the Earth with changing phases!
This is a perfect activity to review the vocabulary words revolve, rotate, brighter, bigger, pretty, dark etc.! The students analysed that since the moon orbits around the Earth every 27 days, these phases repeat over and over. It’s a cycle!

Unfurling the Secrets of Plant Life

by

This was a great way to introduce students to plants and learn to think like scientists. An exploration of external parts of the plants gave an insight to the students to the unrevealed life of plants under the soil.

The teacher helped the learners identify the various parts of a leaf with this handy activity. It also included a labelled diagram, which was self explanatory.
A little further in the lesson, the educator explained how plants carry out the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS and its importance to mankind by drawing a FOOD CHAIN.

Grammar Brammer!!!

by

Here in Ideal Academy the grammar lessons were made fascinating by various student-centric approaches where the students were actively engaged with their own learning. Students learned by a tool that helped them to explore different ways to represent the same information.

The teaching learning process provided the students with the opportunity to reflect critically on the concepts they learned and taught the students to collaborate, communicate, interact , work in teams and most importantly the peer learning.

New ideas and knowledge were largely constructed out of existing ideas.

SENSES Make Sense: Hands-on Learning Activity

by

The activity was to collect a variety of edible items such as cookies, chips, fruits etc and set them on a tray. Blindfold the child and let them go across each item. Allow them to feel each item, describe the texture, smell it, taste it and guess what the item is using his or her senses.
The educator asked the specific questions to assist them in identifying the things.Research shows that sensory play activates connections in the brain’s pathways, enhancing a child’s ability to learn and retain information. By utilizing the five senses, children develop skills to solve complex problems, boost self-confidence, strengthen core muscles and agility, expand imagination and improve language.
The activity helped the tiny tots to realize the power of all 5 senses along with their identification.

Noun: Naming Words Enrichment Activity

by

This part of a speech refers to words that are used to name persons, places, things, events or ideas. All nouns are naming words.

In the Ideal Academy the educators thought it’s time to eradicate boring grammar lessons and to include a variety of engaging and inspiring grammar activities.

This time children actively engaged themselves in making interesting models for depicting various kinds of nouns along with their definitions and examples. They extended their knowledge by differentiating between various kinds of nouns.
The activity encouraged the students to challenge each other and have fun while consolidating their knowledge of nouns.

GO GREEN PLANT TREES!!!

by

Plant trees. They give us two of the most crucial elements for our survival: oxygen and books.
As part of the Van Mahotsav endeavour, Ideal Academy has organized a Plantation Activity with the aim of “SAVE TREES ,SAVE NATURE” and to create awareness for a greener future and sensitize the students about environmental concerns. Prior to the plantation activity, students were briefed about the significance of plants and ways to plant them and take care of them.
Students of classes KG I and KG II participated in the activity. Tree planting activity brought the students close to nature and environment. All the students along with the teacher planted the saplings. Teacher explained the importance of tree plantation and the bad effects of deforestation on nature and the environment.

Predict-Observe-Explain Activity

The Candle in the Bell-jar experiment is an investigatory approach towards learning that oxygen is essential for burning.

It was used as a starter activity to grab the students’ interest as well as grasp the concept in a fun way. It also helped to link combustion with the Fire Triangle. The students noted down their observation, and explained the empirical findings.

Factoring Numbers in Riveting and Provocative Manner

by

Prime factorization of any number means to represent that number as a product of prime numbers. To achieve the pedantry of the knowledge gained, the big idea for conceptualization was through a factor tree. A factor tree shows the prime factors of a composite number in a “tree-like” form. Students could make different factor trees to find the same prime factorization. Along with being engrossing, it also finds its widespread real life application in sending encrypted messages.
