Recent Activity – Senior Wing

Physical changes come in many forms. It can be a change in the shape or appearance of an object, like crumpling a piece of paper, or cutting, bending, or dissolving something. With the concept in consideration, the educator allowed students to explore a few different activities to determine if they are chemical or physical changes, by figuring out if the material made after the reaction was present before the reaction!!

In a recent Current Affair Webinar the young minds gained knowledge about this renewable, versatile and eco-friendly source of energy. With almost zero emission and an ability to reduce carbon footprints with vast applications in future energy required endeavours and enterprises. The session bolstered the Idealites in enhancing their critical thinking skill and intelligence quotient.

The students learned that the activity indicates motion of sound created or modified with the aid of water. When the students hit the cup with a stick or finger, water waves were produced due to vibrations in the cup. These vibrations travel through water in the cups and after striking the surface of the cup, these vibrations produce sound. The students critically analyzed the activity and the learning objective of the lesson was achieved.

The fun filled and hands-on learning of quadratic expressions by cutting and pasting glazed papers. It was a geometrical interpretation of the factorization. All positive integers were represented by any one colour unit square and all negative integers were shown by different colour squares. Students could take different colour combinations. The value of x could also be taken as any number. As a conclusion, the students verified the factors of two quadratic polynomials with critical analysis of the concept.

Class 7th of Ideal Academy creatively depicted various aspects of heat on a chart paper when they studied the concept of heat. The students while sharing their work with the class, took initiative in explaining that heat is a kind of energy that is transferred from one body to another as a result of a difference in temperature. The teacher assisted them to understand and critically analyze the importance, properties and effects of heat on matter around us.

The fewer words, the better advertising

The aim of the activity was to raise awareness to the type of language used in advertising. The students mastered the skill and learned that an advertisement can be just about anything that draws attention to a particular thing such as a product, service or event. Creating an advertisement for a school project is an entertaining way to present the subject.

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.

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.
