Activity(Cutting the kg cardboard)

After the activity children should paste it in the activity sheet.

Procedure:

1. Discuss basic  mathematical operations, constants, variables(Unknown), expression, power, equations, area of square and rectangles.

2. Explain them a scenario in which ,brothers need to share their father’s land which is in square shape.depict the same on board explain them about the following identities with the idea of area of square and area of rectangles.

Discuss:

(a+b)2 =  a2+2ab+b2

(a-b)2 = a2-2ab+b2

(a+b)2+(a-b)2= 2a2+2b2

2)Pull a book by weight balls.

3)Drop test of two different weight balls.

1. Inertia :

Pull a coin : Take a kg cardboard sheet, place a coin on it ,place this kg cardboard sheet on the glass, pull a coin in such a way that the coin should drop into glass.

Ask them how it works and discuss Inertia and Newton’s first law of motion.

2. Friction :

Run and stop : make children stand in a line ,make them run and ask them to stop when they are instructed to stop.

Ask them what they experience, when they were instructed to stop while running. 

Friction pulley experiment : take a play wood, paste rough and smooth surfaces say sand paper and cloth, make a hole and tie a thread so that it is easy to drag it like a pulley. On the wall below the window mark the scale to measure the height. Place objects like eraser, duster (and any other objects which are available in the class)on rough surface (sand paper) and lift it using a thread through window grill. Note the height at which the object tends to fall, repeat the same on  Smooth surface(cloth) and note down the height.

Ask children to draw a double bar graph depicting the height at which object falls on both the surfaces.

Discuss about friction, advantages and disadvantages.

3. Gravity :

After the introduction, ask children to test two objects dropping at a time.

Free fall activity :  Ask the children to hold two objects in two hands at a distance and  to predict which falls first, then to drop them at a time. And to figure out the reason.

Discuss what happens in the absence of air.

Debriefing:

• Use the second data available in 2nd activity to write a graph and analyze.

• General discussion

Take home: Brainstorming question.

Subject: Physics

Time: 4 hours

Objective: 

Children will know that different types of objects reflect different amounts of light. In addition to reflection, light also can be partially absorbed or transmitted by an object. 

They will also explore, when light passes at an angle from one medium to another, like air to water, it bends. Kids will learn about the phenomenon of Rainbow formation (Total internal reflection, dispersion of light)

• Speed of different colours.

Reflection:

1. Find the word : write a word on the board which has  vertical symmetry, challenge the children to guess the word.

2. Ask the children to list all the alphabets which are symmetrical.

Catch the light: Make the children into groups, provide them mirrors, challenge them to pass the light through mirrors and to spot the light on the object of interest.

Angle of incidence = Angle of Reflection

• Make children into groups. Provide them a mirror and a laser.

• Ask children to draw a line on a paper and to place a mirror on that line.

• Let one of them pass the light through a laser on the mirror and  draw dotted lines to  show the incident ray on the paper.put a dot where light ray meets the mirror. Again draw dotted line to show the reflected ray.

• Draw a perpendicular through the point of incident to the initially drawn line.

• Now measure the angle of incidence and angle of reflection and note it .

• Repeat the same for different angles.

. 

Refraction:

•  Broken stick Experiment :-  take a glass of water and place a stick. Ask children what they observe.

• Touch the coin experiment : place  a coin in a glass of water(glass)

• Ask the children to touch the coin by looking at it from different directions.

• Discuss about transparent, opaque and translucent media, speed of light in different mediums.
