Topic: Effect of Light on the Growth of
Plant.
Class: IV, Science
On 4th
September I taught class IV Science on the topic Effect of light on the growth
of Plant. Actually light is
something that sustains all life on this planet, but we may wonder why do plants
grow with light? When you look at the new plant, you may wonder what kind of
light do plants need? Do all plants need the same amount of light? How can I
tell if my plant is having problems with too little light? To teach this
topic and to make the concept clear I found it bit difficult since it was
complex for the 4th grades children, so I took the advantage of
teaching the topic through YouTube audio visual by connecting Projector. With
this I was able to provide very clear concept of the topic to my children.
As I was preparing for
the short clips through projector my children were very excited and I heard them
talking in silent mood about their interest to watch the clips on the topic effect
of light on the growth of plants. As I played the video my children were very
silent and attentive, paying full attention. Beside I also pause the video in
between and explained some of the complex things in the video. By doing so my
children got clear about the topic. They also demands more of such kind in the
future lesson too. At the moment our text contains limited information on the
topics, however our curriculum developers had given the web link to find more
information and I did looked through the web and got extra information.
After watching the video
and by following the instructions from the text my children also set up an
experiment to see practically on how light effect the growth of the plant. For this
my children brought two potted plants in each group by leveling A and B. They
kept all A potted plant in the sun and B potted plant in the dark where there
is no sunlight. They would be closely observing both the plants and keep the
record for at least three to four weeks. From that observation my children
would find the final result on the topic.

Advantages of Audio
Visual:
Students learns a great deal just by watching audio visual and learning
from the thoughts, experiences and demonstrations of others. In fact videos can
illustrate ideas and engage students far more substantially than textbooks,
lectures, pictures, or other activities. When possible, turn to this free
resource for building more effective lessons during class time. Depending on
our curriculum, we can direct students to YouTube audio visual as a resource to
find the information interesting and relevant to them. If students are working
on a more self-directed project or have an individual passion they want to
explore, encourage them to take advantage of YouTube/audio Visual. Normally in
our traditional methods we often teach our learner through lecture which
becomes monotonous and our learners grasp less information

Wel done sir. Its worth going through your post. I got to learn some advantages of using audiovisual in classròom teaching. I agreed with you sir children learn more by watching then just listening. Nice lesson .keep it up.
ReplyDeleteIt's my pleasure to go through your post. I know your children have understood the concept better with your ICT integration. Today, after reading your post, I felt, had our teachers taught us this way we would have understood the concept in a better way.keep going sir
ReplyDeleteDear sir
ReplyDeleteICT plays an impotant role in teaching as it adds flavour to our lesson. Children learn better when taught through ict. I conducted several class test to find out the differences. I found out that the lesson taught using ict fetched more marks compare to lesson taught in a usual way. So, as stated, ict really plays an important roles in shaping the lesson. So keep on exploring.
Seems it was a great lesson, teaching the effect of light on the growth of plants. I was clear that your students were able to understand the process clearly because by watching YouTube. Yes it's true that things which we cannot explain can be very well explained through visual aids. Last year, when I was teaching science in class IV, I too taught this topic through ppt using animations and simulations. It was a great lesson indeed.
ReplyDeleteDemanding such types of teaching materials from the students tells us that our students need more that that is already in the book. You have done it and it's true that we cannot teach the importance of light for the growth of a plant just by textbook and chartpapers. They need extra and valid information where concept is printed in them. Well done and keep doing it.
ReplyDeleteAudio visual plays vital role in our daily lesson if we use it positively. You have cited both advantages and disadvantages of audio visual, its good to know it. Hope you will continue it in future lesson too.
ReplyDeleteUse of ict in the classroom is vital for teacher to teach. Through your lesson i could understand that you have used the knowledge of ict with the students. Please keep on!
ReplyDeleteI too agree with you,ICT helps us a lot in teaching concrete concept in science lesson.Our children would perform better if we teach using ICt in our teaching.Great lesson, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGood idea. Yes, audio visual can be an influential factor to motivate the children. Certainly, such kind of application can bring considerable effects in terms of children's learning.
ReplyDeleteIn the next reflection, I will also try to use it.
Effect of light on the growth of plant was demonstrated well through the use of audio visual enhancer.It seems the lesson was hip hip hurray.Both the sides enjoyed well.Keep it up sirji...
ReplyDeleteI agree with you sir because children seem to concentrate more when we show them audio visual and learn better with the help of the visual video.keep it up la.
ReplyDeleteWow, Great lesson sir. I agree with you sir, usage of ICT will really help teachers a lot in teaching the concrete concept especially in science.
ReplyDeleteStudents will perform better academically if we teach using ICT because they can retain the concepts in their memory for the longer period of time.
So sir, keep it up.
Well done sir
ReplyDeleteI too agree with what you have written la... These days audio visual plays vital role in teaching and learning especially in science subject where we need to do lots of time. Such video tutorial will serve the purpose despites of taking too much duration while conducting experiments.

ReplyDeleteHi Tenzin
ReplyDeleteI too support your stand regarding ICT tools usage in science lessons making the lesson worthy.
ICT plays an impotant role in classroom teaching and children learn better when taught through ICT. They'll perform better academically and can retain the concept taught in class. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting way of teaching sir.
ReplyDeleteVarieties are important and you did that.
Great job.
The children might have enjoyed.
So many good ideas are shared to implement teaching and learning in the classroom situation using ICT.keep it up and keep on using for better ment of both the teacher and students.
ReplyDeleteYour ideas are great, I also need to borrow ideas from you.
ReplyDeleteYou have rightly pointed out the advantages of integraion of ICT in lesson,l have also notced what you have shared in your reflection while teaching a lesson with integration of ICT as compared without integration of ICT.Please,explore more ideas in future too.
ReplyDeleteWell organized lesson and worth going through your reflection.Keep trying new ict skills to make children learn actively.
ReplyDeleteWell organized lesson and worth reading your information.
ReplyDeleteWell organized lesson and worth going through your reflection.Keep trying new ict skills to make children learn actively.
ReplyDeleteI love going through your reflections and lessons. It's enriching!
ReplyDeleteICT is very useful tool for teaching and makes teaching realistic.The way you have used ICT in your teaching is relevant and looks students reallly enjoyed the lesson.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your lesson and teaching sir. You have really well organized the lesson implementing ICT strategy. It is worth reading your information which is really interesting.
ReplyDeletegreat...
The advantages of integration of ICT in lesson,It refreshes the mind of the learners and the preacher too..
