                           CURRICULUM

                                               Curriculum is the crux of the whole educational process. Without curriculum, we cannot conceive any educational endeavor
                                        The term curriculum derived from      the Latin word “currere” which means “path”. In the sense curriculum is the path through which the student has to go forward in order to reach the goal envisaged by education. Curriculum should be considered v as a broad based term encompassing every aspect concerning a course of study.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A GOOD NATURAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM

                           There are various innovative ideas which should be taken into account while developing syllabus of life science. They are as follows:

1.   It should be based on meaningful and purposeful learning.
2.   Learning styles of students should be considered carefully.
3.   While selecting and implementing innovative ideas teaching styles of teachers should be considered.
4.   It must provide for the developments of skills, attitudes and interests among students.
5.   It should be elastic and flexible enough to meet the individual pupils needs.
6.   It should conform to the predetermined aims and objectives of the course of the study.
7.    It should make use of multimedia system of classroom instruction.
8.   Interesting learning experiences should be made available for students.
9.   Besides texual material, the curriculum should also contain teacher guides, films, supplementary experiments, laboratory manuals and test materials.
10.   Contents should preferably be self contained for those who would not study after the high school. It may be prepatory for those who would like to go in for higher education.
11.   Contents should always be in process of revision leading to modernization, refinement, enrichment.

FOOD CHAIN ACTED BY THE STUDENTS

food chain is a linear sequence of links in a food web starting from a species that are called producers in the web and ends at a species that is called decomposers species in the web. A food chain also shows how the organisms are related with each other by the food they eat. A food chain differs from a food web,

THE BEST FRIEND ON EARTH OF MAN IS THE TREE





                                                                       Trees provides us with life saving medicines,for instance from the cinchona tree(once used to treat  malaria) and salicyclic acid from the white willow.Food and medicines are priceless gifts that trees and forests generously give us.But the services trees and forests provide- often refer ed to as ecosystem services-are far more significant. 
 Trees improve the quality of air we breathe by absorbing dust and other air pollutants such as ozone carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide from the atmosphere.They control noise pollution by absorbing and blocking noise from the urban environment.

                                                                      Like human beings trees to grow make their food,exchange gases from the atmosphere and require water. And like us ,they also need care to live and flourish. In return of the kindness they show to us and the invaluable services they provide us   let us care for them .......... let us help them live

ROLE PLAY

ROLE PLAY

 

Role-play is a valuable teaching and training tool that delivers immense amount of imprinted learning. This learning is retained and recalled better through the role-play experience. While it is evolving as a very effective, interactive teaching and training tool, many feel unprepared and uncomfortable about participating, or using role-play in routine teaching and training

What is role-play

Role play in a simulation exercise where persons take on assumed roles in order to act out a scenario in a contrived setting. The learners or participants can act out the assigned roles in order to explore the scenario, apply skills (maybe communication, negotiation, debate etc.),

How does role-play work?

The choice of the role-play relies on the learning agenda and has to have clear aims and objectives. There are various ways role-play can work.
a) Observation : learning through observation and reflection happens when a group of learners watch a specifically constructed role-play using actors, simulators or even played by the tutors.
b) Modelling: Helps to learn a concept or an idea through participation. For example children can learn about history and historical figures by acting out scenes. While adults can participate in a constructed scenario- like an angry customer, worried patients etc.
c) Contemplation: It helps to stimulate analysis through exploring complex concepts and debating issues- usually ethical problems where there is no clear right or wrong.
d) Skills development: The participant can practice and develop skills such as breaking bad news, calming down an angry client, negotiating with customers etc.
e)Self-reflection: through participating in role-play the learners are bring many of their hidden attitudes to the surface and it helps them understand their own prejudices biases and assumptions. It helps to see the world through the other persons eyes and understand methods of communicating.
f) Re-enaction: By re-enacting a past experience it helps to bring recall, catharsis and also helps to identify creative solutions to a problem that could have previously difficult due to emotional distress

Constructing a role-play

Role-plays can be simple or complex, short or long and can be adapted to suit the needs of what is being taught or explored. If it is a simple skills being practiced we can set the scene quickly and let the participants practice.
The key steps in constructing a role-play are:
a) Define Aims and Objectives (is it to practice skills, explore concepts etc.)
b) Define setting/placement
c) Define clear role descriptors and what they will say (at least an outline)
d) Define time limit
e) Define observer tasks (if any)
f) Define ground rules of safety and feedback
g) Define debrief agenda
h) Define facilitator tasks

 

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages of Role-Play
Disadvantages


Energising activity / fun to do
Participants may be too shy and reluctant
Allows participants to contribute actively (even the quieter ones)
Can be threatening to some
It is Time efficient
It can become ‘too much fun’ and disrupt the task
Experiential learning is more powerful than instructions.
Participants can get too involved and loose objectivity
It delivers complex concepts in a simple manner
Participants can overact and show off The observers may not observe well or take notes
Needs little preparation for the teacher/facilitator (unless you want to print out role descriptors)
The observers may take ‘sides’ based on their preconceptions
