CLASSROOM  INTERACTION PROCEDURE
RESPONSE
    ACTIVITY – 1
             Teacher creates a rapport with students and start telling them a story about a house. A couple came to visit a property with that house. It was a wonderful house, small but cool of length 12cm and breadth 9 cm. It was located behind a building Sternum complex in Thoracic society on the two side of whole sale shopping cum selling complex named Lungs centre. This house was painted in special way with two coating of Pericardium Touch with a paint called Pericardial paint. This paint protect this house with external climatic forces like shock , crack etc. they enter the house. They were amazed by seeing the interior of it. This wall, window, door were all extraordinary. It had four rooms. Two rooms in ground floor and two in first floor. They too had name the room at first floor was Right and Left Atria and the room at ground floor was Right and Left Ventricles. The wall of first floor was thinner than the ground floor. There is a story about this house which the agent told to that couple. There were two brothers Artery Babu and Vein Babu. Each of them had sons. Artery had three sons named Pulmonary Artery, Superior Vena cava , Inferior Vena Cava. Whereas Vein Babu had two sons Aorta and Pulmonary Vein. Aorta was the eldest and Superior and inferior vena cava were twins. All were hard working . Each of them had specific work to perform. Inferior and Superior Vena Cava used to collect old material from the surrounding to the first room in first floor i.e. Right Atrium. They use to hand it over to Pulmonary Artery. He use to take that thing to the shopping and selling complex name Lungs centre. Seeing their hard work one of their brother Pulmonary Vein use to bring the new materials to the first floor Right Atrium and Aorta use to go to different for selling. The couple decided to buy that house but the main suspense was still not yet open. There were two room present in between the first and ground floor. In left room the door was bicuspid but the right room has tricuspid door with flaps. Once they enter through this door and went to down floor will never come back. Yes it is expensive with extra fittings like an alarm was placed in the right side of the first floor which make us aware about the thief by creating vibration which is experienced upto ground floor. It was Sino Atrial Node or SA Node. The old stock once taken will never come back because of the presence of door named Semilunar valve. The opening and closing of this door produces a mysterious sound ‘Lup’ and ‘Dup’. By hearing this sound and story about ground floor they got scared and decided to left that place. It was a well planned operation headed by Artery and Vein. The house was “The Heart” villa.

1.     What is heart?
2.     Name the four chambers of the heart?
3.     What is the measurement of the heart?
4.     Name the membrane covering the heart?

FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY
Draw a diagram seen in page 29 (a)


ENRICHMENT PROGRAMME
Draw a well labeled diagram of heart



SELF REFLECTION
          This was the most interesting class. As I started the topic with a story because I know that that heart the one of the toughest topic. Pupil usually scared while hearing about this topic. I told them to hear it carefully and when they feel bore they can tell me about it. I showed them the video that was too enjoyed by them a lot. I showed them two three video about this topic. After this I ask them to evaluate my teaching based on this topic. I was happy that they understood the topic well. Two three pupils told me to little bit speed up class.

INTRODUCTION
For an effective and efficient teaching in science a good laboratory with necessary equipment is essential. In recent years the purposes of teaching science at the secondary stage have undergone drastic change. We do not aim at stuffing the mind of the pupils with mere facts but also developing application abilities in them abilities in them like skill of construction interest, appreciation.
NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE OF LABORATORY WORK
v  It follows the principle of “learning by doing”
v  The knowledge imparted without experimental support or evidence remains superficial.         
v  Knowledge gained through practical work creates a permanent impression in the minds of the students.
v  Laboratory experiments satisfy the curiosity of the students.
v   It inculcates various good habits, such as cooperation, coordination , initiation.
v  It helps in developing the skills of noting or making reading, drawing diagrams, sketching etc.
IMPORTANCE OF THE LABORATORY WORK
Ø  In doing laboratory work the pupils get a chance for both physical and intellect and they are learning by doing
Ø  It train in scientific thinking and helps in developing scientific attitude and method
Ø  It helps in developing manipulating skills.
Ø  It act as a motivation. Pupils interested in handling materials while performing experiment.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
­  Fitting and furniture should be planned to be used conveniently and economically.
­  The arrangement of furniture should ensure case of supervision and proper lightening.
­  There should be enough storage accommodation and sufficient wall space.



PLANNING A SCIENCE LABORATORY
            Before constructing the laboratory, the following factor should be taken into consideration:
ü  The number of pupil working at a time.
ü  The minimum space necessary for each pupil.
ü  Imperative need of economy.
ü  Limitation of number of science teacher in secondary school.
TYPES OF SCIENCE LABORATORY
            The following are the types of science laboratories
·         Lecture – room- cum laboratory
·         All purpose laboratory
·         Lecture –cum-laboratory (by science education in secondary school)
·         Multipurpose science laboratory

Ø LECTURE – ROOM- CUM LABORATORY
The plan was devised by Dr.R.H.Whitehouse. It is economical and at same time provides an atmosphere of science. Its details are as follows:
¤        THE LAYOUT
            It consists of 45’x25’ class for 40 pupils in demonstration and 20 in practical work. Half  of the space should be used for lecture while half for practical work.
¤        WALL
The laboratory walls should be 1.5 ft thick. Nowadays as most walls are not constructed very thick, it should be seen that they are strong and echo and sound proof.
¤        FLOORING
            It should be plain and smooth, having proper slope so that it can be cleaned easily. These days stones and tiles are used in place of cement.
¤        FURNISHING
            In lecture room side, a well blackboard has to be placed. It can be used for both writing and demonstration process.
             Twenty dual tables and forty chairs must be provided. Towards laboratory side also blackboard is provided. No drawers should be provided for avoiding copying place for waste paper. Practical table opposite blackboard must be of measure 3x3½x6.
             Three sinks are provided, one for teacher and two for pupil in which one should be near window and another near wall.

Ø ALL PURPOSE LABORATORY
This type of laboratory serve the purpose of both practical as well as theoretical work, but it may not possible to carry out an effective teaching. The size of the laboratory may vary . The usual dimension of 45’x25’ for 40 pupils. Provision can be made in the walls for reagent, bottle, etc in such a way that it neither attract by light nor look ugly.

Ø LECTURE –CUM-LABORATORY
           While suggesting the plan for the science laboratory, panel for science education in secondary school kept in view that recommended of the “Reports on science teaching in schools” by UNESCO.

·        LOCATION
          The laboratories should preferably be located on a ground floor and on the extreme side of the school building if possible, So that there is no disturbance of the laboratories to the teaching.

·        LAYOUT
This panel was 825ft for 42 pupil at a time. For easy organization of laboratory classes, laboratory “A” may be set aside for chemistry practical with the provision of a square sink in the middle of each table. Laboratory “B” can be biology physics practical.




LABORATORY RULES
ª       Every pupil may have a seat assigned to him.
ª       When the pupils are working in groups they might be allow to discuss in a low tone.
ª       Unnecessary talking should be strictly forbidden.
ª       Stoppers are also be replaced on the bottle
ª       Bottle must be labeled clearly.
SUGGESTIONS TO DEVELOP INFRASTRUCTURE OF A    
                               LABORATORY
       Find source of fund
       Space for laboratory
       Enough apparatus and chemical

SELECTION AND PURCHASE OF APPARATUS CHEMICAL AND EQUIPMENTS
            The list of apparatus and chemical to be purchased must be prepared with the details of the experiment to be performed by the pupils and demonstrated by the teacher.
            The list of apparatus may be divided into two:
S  Essential
S  Desirable
   In preparing the list due consideration should be paid to all parts of the subjects. The teacher may not be tempted by the attractive description and catalogue. When essential have be purchased, the teacher might think of getting down desirables
REGISTERS IN THE LABORATORY
*   Permanent stock register
*   Breakable stock register
*   Consumable stock register
*   Order register
*   Requirement register
