Curricular and Co-Curricular Activities
In this week the students of 9th standard were taught using teaching manual from their third chapter from part one of their biology textbook. They were taught topics like:
1. Vital Capacity and Tidal Volume
2. Mode of Respiration in Different Organisms.
3. Respiration in Plants
Class 8 was taught topics like:
1. Binomial Nomenclature
2. Two kingdom classification
Teaching aids such as slides, charts etc..were used appropriately based on the topic taught.
Physical Education class was conducted for students of 8th std.
Overall Reflection of Classroom Experience
The students of 9th standard were given teaching manual oriented and ICT enabled experience. Three teaching manuals of 9th standard and 2 teaching manual of 8th std. was completed effectively.
