 🌼 Day 24 – Restarting Lessons with New Concepts

The twenty-fourth day marked the reopening of school after the Christmas holidays and examinations. I reached the school at 9:00 AM and signed the register. The morning assembly at 9:20 AM included the prayer, pledge, thought for the day, news reading, and national anthem. During the 1st period, I handled a Chemistry class in 9B on Saturated, Unsaturated, and Supersaturated Solutions from the unit Solutions. Through clear explanations and examples, students were able to understand the differences between the three types of solutions. At 12:15 PM, we carried out the regular noon meal serving duty. The afternoon session had no further classes, so the time was used effectively to prepare teaching aids for upcoming lessons. At 3:00 PM, a PTA meeting was conducted in the school. The day concluded at 3:45 PM, after which we signed the register and returned home.

🌺 Day 25 – An Interactive Physics Class on Magnetic Induction

The twenty-fifth day began with our arrival at school at 9:00 AM and signing the register. There were no assigned classes in the morning session, allowing time for preparing teaching aids and planning lessons. At 12:15 PM, we performed the regular noon meal serving duty. During the 5th period, I handled a Physics class in 8C, teaching Magnetic Induction from the unit Magnetism and Electricity. The lesson encouraged interaction, with students actively participating and asking questions. The school day ended at 3:45 PM with the national anthem.

🌿 Day 26 – Understanding Magnetic Behavior in Materials

The twenty-sixth day began with the morning assembly at 9:20 AM, which included the prayer, pledge, thought for the day, and national anthem. During the 2nd period, I had a substitution class in 8C. I taught Magnetic Induction in Soft Iron and Steel from Magnetism and Electricity, explaining the differences in magnetic properties of the two materials. Students were attentive and engaged throughout the session. At 12:15 PM, we carried out the regular noon meal serving duty. The afternoon session had no further classes, and the time was used for lesson planning and preparation of teaching aids. The day concluded at 3:45 PM with the national anthem.

🌻 Day 27 – Linking Theory with Practical Learning

The twenty-seventh day began with the morning assembly at 9:20 AM, including the prayer, pledge, thought for the day, and national anthem. During the 1st period, I handled a Chemistry class in 9B on Solubility from the unit Solutions. The concept was explained using examples to help students understand the factors affecting solubility. At 12:15 PM, we completed the noon meal serving duty. In the 7th period, I taught Physics in 8C on Permeability and Making an Electromagnet from Magnetism and Electricity. Students showed keen interest, especially during the discussion of practical applications. The school day ended at 3:45 PM with the national anthem, after which we signed the register and returned home.

Innovative lesson plan - Magnetic induction in soft iron and steel 🔩

Teaching science becomes more meaningful when concepts are presented through stories students can relate to. This innovative lesson plan introduces magnetic properties through a cartoon narrative story, where characters and conversations guide learners to understand key ideas. By following a simple story-based experiment, students explore how different materials respond to a magnet and how some retain magnetism while others do not. This approach makes learning enjoyable, improves concept clarity, and promotes imagination, curiosity, and active participation in the classroom.
