MAKING RESEARCH POSTER ON PSYCHE ASTEROID- CLASS VII GROUP ACTIVITY

 Learners of class VII made a research poster in which they have investigated answers of many questions on Pysche Asteroid as a part of earth and space strand. They made the poster of their research in groups. They were sent into breakout room where they collaboratively work and discussed their ideas. After completing the research poster they presented their research work in the class .

Making Electric Circuits - Group Activity STAGE-9

 Learners of Class VIII ( Stage 9 )  Performed a Group Activity on the topic electrostatics and electric current . In this Activity they have designed circuit using Phet Simulation. They have to take as many components as they can which they have studied and then they have to make questions based on the circuit they have designed. 

Learners were sent in the breakout rooms so they can discuss and work collaboratively to design circuits and frame questions . After a period of time they came back together as a whole class and asked questions they have made to other group members. Learning by collaborating is a great way to grasp the concepts . With this activity they have enjoyed and understood how to connect different components of circuits.  
























Building the structure of an atom activity - STAGE-9 through Simulations

 






Description

In this activity learners Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change. Then play a game to test your ideas!

Learning Goals

  • Use the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons to draw a model of the atom, identify the element, and determine the mass and charge.
  • Predict how addition or subtraction of a proton, neutron, or electron will change the element, the charge, and the mass.
  • Use the element name, mass, and charge to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Define proton, neutron, electron, atom, and ion..

Science Activity - PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY

PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY 

  • APPARATUS REQUIRED 
  • black and blue mark­ers
  • Sanitizer
  • sheet of thick pa­per
  • beaker

  • PROCEDURE

Take a small sheet of thick paper which can fit in a beaker. Make dots on the pa­per withblack, blue, and a mix­ture of col­ors (black + blue). To make the dots on the same lev­el, draw a start­ing line with a pen­cil first. Now low­er the pa­per in the beaker with ethanol, about half a cen­time­ter from the bot­tom. Then seal the beaker, so the ethanol doesn’t evap­o­rate. Af­ter half an hour, ob­serve the move­ment and sep­a­ra­tion of col­ors on the pa­per.

Chro­matog­ra­phy is a method for an­a­lyz­ing sub­stances by their sep­a­ra­tion into com­po­nents. The method was dis­cov­ered by Mikhail Tsvet, who sep­a­rat­ed col­or pig­ments of plants. In our ex­per­i­ment, we must se­lect the sol­vent which is con­tained the mark­ers. This is usu­al­ly ethanol.

Due to the cap­il­lary ef­fect, the ethanol soaks the pa­per even­ly, tak­ing the dyes with it. The dyes in the mix­ture re­act dif­fer­ent­ly with the al­co­hol, so they rise at dif­fer­ent speeds.

Sep­a­ra­tion is based on this dif­fer­ence in speed.
