Innovative Lesson

Teachers always want the best for their students. They plan their lesson so that it will go smoothly and most importantly, majority of the students able to understand what is conveyed by the teacher. A few chapters in all subject typically require different approach so that students can easily grasp the content. In order to produce an effective lesson, I believe that all teachers need to to work hard for that in doing some innovation in teaching and learning, unless the lesson will be carried out in same way as always👀. From my almost 9 years experience of teaching, I admit that I could not have innovation lesson every time I teach, it is not easy! 😜 but possible. However, since the forth year of teaching, I had promised myself that I will do AT LEAST one innovation lesson in a week and I did it! It is better that nothing right? During the early years of teaching, I did not do much innovation in classroom as I focused more on strengthening the content. I just read books and searched internet for resources of content.

What prompted me to do this was due to a talk by an excellent teacher (Guru Cemerlang) who have implemented even a very simple innovation during learning and his students enjoyed his lesson moreover he had successfully upgraded the results of his students in Physics. The innovation does not necessarily producing a teaching aid physically but it can be as simple as editing an exiting video to suit the content that gives high impact to students' learning. I still remember the modified 'ultraman video clip' that has been shown in this course😄. This creative innovation is really interesting for us educators and of course for the students. He also showed the other video that was cut-edited from an action movie and asked us to discuss  about the motion of the few vehicles in the video, relating the concept of velocity, acceleration, time and displacement. The audience in this course are teachers in majority and we were so excited with this type of approach in teaching and learning. Imagine our students' reaction!😎😎

An innovative lesson as I need an amount of time for the preparation. Frankly, I ever spent two whole days to plan my one-hour-lesson properly, yes! just for only 1 lesson! 😳 Could not imagine how I'm going to have properly innovated lesson for all classes. This is why, for the moment, I try to discipline on 1 week 1 innovation approach. Maybe, as time goes by, my skills in teaching being upgraded, then I can have more. Here is a video of an example of innovative lesson that has been conducted by myself. In this lesson, students do experiment as an approach in order to prove the concept of exponential curve of radioactive decay. Apart from that, I applied Quizlet as a tool in order to engage students with the lesson.
Thank you Kids!!

Magnetic Field

Magnetic Field, B To define Magnetic field, we start with the word field. Field means a region or space. The magnetic field is defined as a region where the magnetic force can be felt. In other words, a force (repel/attract) can be felt in the region. Bar Magnet We will find that 2 North(N) poles will repel if we bring the poles of two bar magnets together. Same goes to that of 2 South(S) poles. However North and South pole attracts. The strength and direction of the field are represented by lines. Knowing that, the direction of magnetic field is from North to South. Magnetic field is able to be detected by 1) Compass (have been used over 2000 years 2) Hall Probe Applications: Swipe cards, Video tapes & Computer discs -use magnetism to store information. History: In 1819, Hans Christian Oersted noticed that a compass needle was deflected by an electric current in a nearby wire. Remember!! the compass is used to detect any existance of magnetic field.

Root Mean Square Current (I rms)

Root Mean Square Current As mentioned in the previous post , the value of AC is always changing. Then, how do we measure its value??? We could not use the maximum value of the current Io, because it only occurs at a moment. The average current is ZERO . Hence, one effective value that we could use the root mean square value. Irms . The formula for   Irms is given by: where Io is maximum current. Irms is the value that is equivalent to a steady direct current .  We can investigate this by comparing 2 circuits containing lamp each. circuit 1 uses battery as the source, while circuit 2 uses a.c. supply. AC supply is adjusted so that both lamps are equally bright. At this point, DC and AC supplies are transferring energy to the lamps at the same rate (Power).  By equating the Power of both circuits, we can deduce the equation of  Irms as above. Therefore, the d.c. voltage equals the r.m.s. value of the a.c. voltage.  From the the graph below and th...

Thinking-based Learning (TBL)

Since I were small, I always felt down as I thought that I am/was not a creative person. When I joined a group task of inventing something for Science subject, I would always be the last person that came out with ideas and usually my ideas were not as superb as my group mates. But then, to cut the story short, I realized that  it is not impossible for every one of us to be creative. The turning point was from my Curriculum Design class taught by Dr Razak, where he taughts us the steps in invention anything for the purpose of survival, for example, creating scissors for the left-handed person. Among the method that I strongly remember is SCAMPER which also called as creativity tool. SCAMPER stands for substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put into other use, eliminate & rearrange. BY undergoing SCAMPER, it is possible for someone to be creative and able to invent one new product!! Throughout teaching and learning, we always involved with thinking process. Our government also ...
