Making Connection

 

Class: IV                  Subject: Science

Topic: Making Connection

Lesson objectives: By the end of the lesson, a child should be able to:

1.  make electrical connections on their own using materials provided 
2. investigate faulty circuits and take corrective measures
3. construct a circuit using simulation from the link given

This video is created with Camtasia Studio 8. apps. 

To make this video first I made a PowerPoint presentation.

Then opened my ppt and on the left panel, we can see a  small sign which is the Camtasia app, while clicking that we can see many options such as preview and record. From there I chose to record and started recording the video. 

One important thing to keep in mind is you should look at the webcam while recording even when you cannot see yourself. 

After finishing recording I used Camtasia features such as zooming in and out, clubbing two videos together, and highlighting important points. Arrows to stress the main ideas.

After editing I clicked on the produce and share. Then named the video.

Activity

After watching the video students should go to this link.

•       http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/circuit-construction-kit-dc-virtual-lab/latest/circuit-construction-kit-dc-virtual-lab_en.html 

Follow the instruction

This is called Phet simulation. Anyone can construct a circuit without real materials and it is safe.

Create your own complete circuit using the materials required

1. with one bulb
2. with two bulb
3. with four bulb

 Then write what you noticed about the brightness of the bulb when the number of batteries increases.

Floating and sinking

Class: IV                  Subject: Science

Topic: Floating and Sinking

Lesson objectives: By the end of the lesson, a child should be able to:

1. define floating and sinking in their own words.
2. observe and classify objects that float or sink in water.
3. discuss why some objects float and some objects sink in water.

This is an animated video that will attract students and make learning fun. Students tend to remember more colorful pictures. Teachers sometimes can download videos related to topics that they want to teach in the class. By showing something different students will also feel more interested to learn.

This video has been downloaded from YouTube. For that first watch the video on the topic which you want to teach and select the appropriate video. 

Activity1

•   You will need a bucket of water. 
• Collect some small objects that you find in and around your classroom. Some of the objects are shown in Figure 1.3(a). 
•  Predict whether the objects float or sink in water and write your prediction after copying table 1.5. Now, put them in water one at a time as shown in Figure 1.3(b).

Observe whether they float or sink in water and record your observation in table 1.5. 

Why do some objects float? 

Why do some objects sink?

Activity 2

• Design and carry out an experiment to find whether an object filled with air floats or sinks. 
• Write about your experiment and include the followings: what you needed. what you did. what you observed. what are the variables you have identified?
• After you are done with the experiment you will go to this link https://padlet.com/yangkhillhaden777/go6udaobfgcjye9l 
• Title is already given as objects filled with air float or sink?
• It is a padlet, you can type your answer there. 

Rotation of the Earth

 

 

This video is about how the rotation of Earthworks.  Firstly I downloaded three videos from Vid Made then cropped and made them into one with the app crop video.

Class: IV

Subject: Science

Topic: Rotation of the Earth

lesson Objectives: by the end of the lesson, a child should be able to:

1.  tell that our earth rotates on its axis 
2. write the causes of the rotation of the earth

Activity 

Students will create a simulation to show the rotation of the earth on its axis. 

For that go to PowerPoint Presentation

Use the necessary clipart, shapes, and pictures to make it lively

You can also use animations to make your earth move.

You can explain how your earth's rotation works with a voice-over or with a text.

Force

Class IV Science

Topic: Force

Objectives

By the end of the lesson, a child should be able to:

1. define force as a push and pull
2. identify push or pull as forces involved in different situations

PowerPoint presentation

I have created this PowerPoint presentation using Microsoft office

I referred textbook for the information

Then used the appropriate Gif to make the presentation more lively

Used different font sizes and colorful designs to look attractive.

Procedures to upload the ppt

Click on the new post

go to google apps and click on the google drive

Go to my drive and click on upload the file

select the file and open it

Double click on the ppt

Click on the file and click on publish to the web

choose embed and click tick on two check box button and then click on publish

 

Activity 1

• look at figure 5.1 and see what do the following pictures represent?
• Then categorize the pictures into columns A and B based on push and pull actions. copy and complete Table 5.1.
• After you have completed the table do the following questions. 

1. what is a common action in column A
2. what is common in column B

Activity 2. 

You will do a short quiz on Slido.com

For that go to this link https://app.sli.do/event/7eZe3sKe9tSiwAU9Ee3a8Y/live/questions

Answer all the questions

The code to enter is 222222

How I created a quiz using Slido.com

Firstly click on slido.com on google

Then went to create an event

Next moved to create Slido and entered the name as 'quiz'

Then chose live polls and select quiz

After that, we can create quiz questions 

Then mark tick on enable timer and show leaderboard

After finishing setting up the questions. Click save button.

About the Blog

Welcome to Yangchen's ICT in teaching and Learning blog. This blog is all about how to integrate ICT in the classroom as a communicative tool. This helps teachers with new ways and innovative ideas to teach in the 21st century where teachers act as a guide, not as a sage on the stage. 

In this blog, I will upload how we can create a video tutorial using ICT to make the lesson more interesting and enjoyable. 

This blog will allow students to monitor and manage their own learning, thinks critically and creatively, solve simulated real-world problems, work collaboratively, engage in ethical decision-making, and adopt a global perspective toward issues and ideas.
