Lab activity on Inequalities of Triangles

The students of classes IX A , B , C performed a lab activity on inequalities of triangles where they verified that any given figure is a triangle only if  “ the sum of two sides of the triangle is  greater than the third side “ and “ the difference of two sides of triangle is smaller than the third side”. This activity helped them in better understanding of the concept of proving a figure to be a triangle.

Learning Objective :- 1. To establish a relation between the largest side and the sum of other two sides of a triangle.

2. Prove or disprove a figure to be a triangle.

3. Enhancing their thinking and analytical skills.

Class IX

Math lab activity on Pythagoras theorem

The students of classes X  A , B  and C performed a math lab activity on Pythagoras theorem. They proved that in a right angled triangle , “ the square of hypotenuse is the sum of the square of the base and square of the perpendicular “ by the method of paper cutting and folding. 

Learning Objective :-   The main objective of this activity was to understand the relationship between the three sides of a right angled triangle using a deductive approach. Observation and thinking skills of the students were also enhanced by performing this activity.

Class VII

Peer Learning in Science

To develop scientific enquiry and aptitude is the main objective of learning science. There has been a dynamic shift in the classroom strategy as teaching- learning has become more student- centered. Students of class IX presented a perfect example by organising peer- learning sessions to understand Newton’s Laws of Motion and their applications in real life. The students divided themselves in groups and each group demonstrated situations using Role-play, Power Point Presentations, Videos, Class- Demos to learn the topic together. The students took examples from day to day observations as the importance of wearing a safety belt while driving, how beating rugs and carpets with sticks removes dust etc.

Class IX

India’s stand on Environmental issues

The students of XII D gave sensitizing presentation on India’s stand on global environmental issues like global warming, depletion of forest cover etc. Students stressed on the steps taken by India on these environmental concerns like India’s National Auto-fuel policy, Energy conservation Act, Electricity Act of 2003 and so on.
