what is needed to be said



Our National curriculum framework NCF-2005 lays great stress on the teaching of science through projects and experiments.There are many things which teachers can do to make science interesting,interactive and activity based  in the lower classes.But when it comes to the +2 level,it all vanishes out of the window.Learning science becomes another  name for memorization   and remembering only the important points.It comes down to passing the examination with a high % of marks.

However,it is necessary to relate the senior class science courses  to social aspects and also to develop enquiry based skills  among the students. Keeping this in mind,I thought of teaching the chemistry of Iron through the Project based learning(PBL) method.In this enlightening journey with my students,we were amazed  at all that we came across and some of this I would like to share through this blog.

  2. seriously PBL is one of the most efficient methods of teaching not only science but any subjects. it creats interests among the children for the subject. moreover the topic you have chosen for this assignment is really appreciative. i am sure we are going to learn a lot more with this project.
