Content-based Material: Natural and Man-made Changes

Topic: Natural and Man-made Changes

Class Level: V

Subject: Science

 Creation of the material

The material is a power point presentation on the topic natural and man-made changes. It consist of content based information organized slide wise in the ppt. I also browsed some critical information on the topic so that students get more information about it. I made it using pictures and animations to make is attractive for the students. I kept the animation of each sentence or points on click as it would be easier for me as a designer to do the voice over accordingly and for students as a learner or reader to press it whenever they finish looking the slides where they can wait until they are able to get a concept of the main content. Using pictures is a good way to visually represent the main idea to the students. They will be able to remember it for a long time.

When and How to use it?

We can use it during the lesson input and it contains more a main information from the text as well as from the browser. After giving the general instructions to the students, we can just go through the slide to teach them the main content of the topic. This will help children to get the main concept of the topic as we are using a different tool to teach them not just reading from the text. The examples and pictures are very realistic which will help them to improve their affective domain. This will happen when they see the similar things around their surrounding where they will be able to identify the natural and man-made changes. They will be also able to differentiate or distinguish between the things they see into natural and man-made changes.

Activity 1

It will mention in the ppt for the students.

Activity 2

1. Children should bring five examples each for the natural and man-made changes they see on their way to home. 

Content based Material: Power Point Presentation on 2-D Shapes

Topic: Identifying and describing 2-D shapes

Class: 1

Subject: Mathematics

 

Creation of the material

I used power point presentation to create the content based material on this topic. I used different colored shapes to let students identify and understand the description of the shape. Colorful designs will attract children’s interest in learning. I also used animation to the description and the shapes so that they don’t get confused with many shapes at last. Then I used pictures of different shapes to let children identify the shapes and name it correctly. Mental imagery is an effective learning strategy and that stimulating students to do so, rather than focusing on the words only, may enhance their understanding of the content.

How to use?

Children can look at the power point presentation carefully and learn to identify and describe the 2-D shapes they see in there as there is voice over in the ppt which explains everything about the shapes. They can write down what they learned from the power point presentation. If they didn’t understand, then they can revisit the ppt whenever they wish to as it will be access to everyone who has link. Teacher can also use the ppt to teach the topic on 2-D shapes using a projector and also give activities from the ppt.

When to use it?

If we are going to teach this topic in the real classroom, we can use the ppt during lesson input where they can experience a new learning material. Through this ppt, they can understand much better as they are exposed to new learning material and the colorful designs will obviously attract their interest and attention. As there is visual representation of shapes in the ppt, they can remember the lesson for a longer term.

Activity 1

After they have watch the ppt, they are going to write the names of the shape they remember from the ppt as well as they can draw each shape accordingly.

Activity 2

At the end of the ppt, there is a table with shapes where the children will have to copy down the table from the ppt, and then they will write down the number of edges and corners of the shapes given in the table.
