Dear Teacher,
We have introduced activity based, Tearner-centred,
process oriented pedagogy in Higher Secondary classes
as part of the continuation of curfieulum revision at
school level.
As per the rules of the RTE, Atty the idea of learning
outcomes was introduced in the Kerala school curriculum
2013. Knowledge of learning outeomesis essential to plan
the teaching learning processnid assessment in a precise
and practical manner.
As you knov the process Of transacting the eurriculum is
challenging as it demands higher level of proficiency and
dedication on the part 6f the teacher who plays a pivotal
role.
For effective learning, learning experiences should be
based on specific objectives and focussed on learning,
outcomes Our teachers are quite resourceful and can easily
come up with mich more compelling and innovative ideas
and strategies than the ones suggested in this book. You
are always Avelcome to do so to make teaching-learning,
process afvenjoyable experience.
The Teacher Text in Physics for second year Higher
Secondary Course offers a few guidelines which aim at
familiatising the practising teachers with the changed
steategies to be adopted in the classroom.
Sugeestions for improvement are most welcome.
With regards,
Director
SCERT, Kerala
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/About Teche TEE,
The teacher text should be one that helps the teacher in daily planning, provides
instructions adequate to carry out the activities in the textbook, persuades
the teacher to seek for more information and provides the additional information
needed for the teacher. The relevance of the teacher text is that the teacher
ust be provided with deeper insight of the activities in the kextbook, additional
activities, samples of assessment and transaction strategies. Hence the
{following are included in the teacher text.
Preface
A proface is provided for each unit. The main conéepts aimed in the lesson,
process skills to be developed among students, the dalues and attitudes to be
inculeated and the social significance of the topi¢are indicated in the preface.
The preftce is a window to each lesson.
Unit Frame
Each unit frame is prepared in relation tocimportant science concepts. A
unit frame has 3 parts. The first part initludes details regarding the science
concepts that the child should know, the process skills to be developed for
achieoirig the learning outcomes. The second part indicates the learning
activities. The last part includes the migjor earning outcomes that the student
must achieve. The approximate tinue needed for each unitis mentioned. The
lesson is divided into three or foiwr modules by grouping learning outcomes
and the related science concepts.Prepare lesson plan according to the module.
Towards the Unit
For the effective transactioni.of the content certain activities are suggested.
The teacher can follow tho suggested activities or make use of a suitable
learner centred, activity biased, strategies based on his/her own requirement.
Details necessary for eahrying out the ICT possibilities are provided in the
teacher text.
Assessment
Tt needs no empltasis to state the importance of assessment for effectively
conducting learning activities. Indicators of importantactivities and products
that ought to be subjected to assessment in each module are provided in the
teacher text. This does not mean that they are only to be assessed. The teacher
hhas to prepare on hisfher ozon worksheets for continuous assessment-self-

Science Learning Approach
It can be said that Science is the sum of all experiences gained by
humans hitherto. Such experiences are interpreted in the light of
earlier experiences. Our surroundings come live to our experiences
through sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. The proper analysis
of the experiences on the basis of earlier knowledge leads us to the
construction of new knowledge. Every piece of knowledge thus
constructed is a window for further enquiry Logical thinking
becomes effective through asking logical questions, collecting
relevant information and conducting comprehensive analysis. This
is the method of science learning.
But science learning is not to be limited’to a mere assortment of
data about energy, substances and living things. It is to be applied
to all fields of life. There will be no superstitious beliefs or wrong
ideas in a society that follows thismethod, Such a society will not
suffer exploitation or deceit.
Learning Objectives of Science

hygiene and social hygiene.
* cultivate a scientific consciousness based on humanity
+ appreciate the achievements of science
+ use the achievements of science for social welfare.
+ respect those who offered lives for science,
Science Education - Approach
To achieve the above said objectives, we have to’keep on constantly
improving the learning approach we adopted in Science Education.
The traditional view of science educations tlie process of imparting
knowledge assimilated through the years about the universe had
changed around forty years ago. The view that the process of science
is as important as the content has com into the realm of science
education. However, today, the approach that certain other facts
beyond content and process are also to be considered, has gained
significance. Discussing Me Vormack and Yager's 'Taxonomy for
Science Education’ becomes relevant in this context. According to
this, there are five domains that science education must lay emphasis
on:
1. Knowledge domain
2. Process domain
3. Creativity domain
4, Attitudinal domain
5. Application domain
4. Knowledge domain
Science students aré expected to know scientific principles and
available scientific facts. It is through science learning that a clear
idea about universal phenomena, the relation between them and
their explanations are gained. The following are primarily included
in this domain:
+ facts
+ concepts
+ rules
+ temporary inferences and laws used by scientists currently
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
‘An understanding of this area can be created through experiments
and observations, discussions, debates, project activities and
references.
2. Process domain
Process is a chain of procedures used with a purpose for a particular
result or to achieve a particular aim. Process skills\are skills that
enable identifying concepts and evidences, and after collecting them,
analysing and drawing conclusions.
Concept formation is an essential factor for not onily science learning,
but the learning of all subjects. It is because of gaining the concept
‘life’ that a creature, not seen before, can be identified as a living
thing. Similarly it is the result of comprehending the concept
‘dissolving’ that it can be concluded that aninknown substance that
disappears in water, does not vanish. but gets dissolved in water.
Concept formation regarding science facts is very important.
However the students should go through the education process to
attain proper concept assimilation: The concept created by the
students through experiments and observations, collecting
evidences and analysis can be developed and used by them in day-
to-day life situation. This substantiates the fact that learning should
be process-based.
A few important process skills are:
+ observing
+ classifying
+ using number felationship
+ measuring and preparing chart
+ using space -time relationship
* communicating and understanding communication of others
+ Predicting
+ Inferring
+ making operational definition
+ formulating hypothesis and examining it
+ Interpreting data
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
+ identifying and controlling variables
+ engaging in experiments
+ collecting and recording data
+ explaining and analysing data
+ raising questions
+ arriving at generalisation
+ identifying solutions of problems
+ arriving at conclusions
+ taking decisions
+ foretelling and assuming
+ handling instruments
Observing 2
Observation is the process of acquiring knowledge through the five
senses, Leaming experiences which provide the opportunity to use
all the five senses may be used.
Classifying
‘The process of grouping information gained through observation,
based on salient features is called classifying. Starting from simple
groupings of data, it can extend to the level of classification into
minute sub groups. The ability to classify will vary according to
the age, maturity and cognitive level of the students.
Using number relationships
This involves the analysis of available data, consolidation and
meaningful explanation using the language of mathematics.
Learning experiences may provide the opportunity to develop the
skills of counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and
finding averagesi~,
Measuring & Charting
‘As part of data collection the student will have to measure quantities
such as length, time, mass, temperature, force and density. What
instruments are required for this? How can these instruments be
used? What is the level of accuracy expected in measurements?
How to record the data? Alll these are to be considered.
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
Using Space-time relationships
An in-depth enquiry relating to shape, distance, movement, speed,
accuracy, direction and time comes under this area. It begins from
identifying the shape, speed, direction and other such features of
objects.
Communicating and understanding communication
It is essential that knowledge developed is expressed in different
ways - oral and written, The students need-opportunities to
communicate through tables, graphs, pictures, models, short write-
ups, descriptions and lectures and also to take part in debates and
discussions, Clarifying doubts by asking appropriate questions is
another skill in this area.
Predicting ¢
An inquisite person attempts to answer the question if........ then?
and proceeds to try out the guessed answer. Answer to this question
is important in science. The teacher expects the student to predict
the outcome of various events and experiments, Students need to
develop the skill of predicting by dtawing on the knowledge gained
through experiments and observations.
Inferring,
Observation and data collection are not important in themselves.
Inferences based on them are however, crucial. A proper inference
can be drawn only if the student has good skills of analysis. The
defects in analysis of data will affect the quality of inference.
Making operational definitions
‘The meaning of ideas need to be stated precisely and clearly tomake
them useful. This helps in communication. Operational defintions
may be incompletearid temporary. Butin given situations they can
be logical and practical.
Formulating hypothesis
A hypothesis is a temporary conclusion drawn using insight. A
problem can have a number of casual factors and solutions. Based
‘on knowledge and experiences relating to the problem the causes
and solutions can be guessed. Such a guess is a hypothe:
need to be tested out and rejected if disproved. Hypothes
are proved right become conclusions.
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
Interpreting data
Interpretation of collected data may lead to new ideas and
generalizations. Opportunities may be provided for interpreting
data and formation of new ideas.
Controlling variables
Variables influence the outcome of experiments. Variables are to
becontrolled during experiments. For the experiment to be accurate
and scientific the variables are to be effectively controlled.
Experimenting,
Anexperimentisa planned activity to test the Validity of hypotheses
drawn. Experimentation contains the process skills in an integrated
way. Itis the main method used by scientists Formulating methods
to test the hypothesis, conducting experiments, recording,
interpretation of data and drawing conélusions are included in it.
‘The duty of the teacher is to help the Jearner to acquire the method
of science in a natural way through-learning activities based on
simple & complex process skills starting from observation. ‘The
students are to be given learning experiences that are learner-centred,
process oriented, and environment based and not the conventional
content/ product oriented experiences. When this approach is
followed along with process skills the student acquires knowledge,
facts, ideas, concepts and pfinciples.
In the new approach of curriculum, the student forms ideas and
conclusions through processes. Project activities, seminar
presentations and experiments enable the student to employ more
than one process skill:
3. Creativity domain
Science education is considered today as a process enabling the
student only in ‘achieving certain scientific information. This is a
point of view that totally ignores the student's creativity and
imagination, It is essential that the student is able to deviate from
the conventional path and think differently.
{A few skills pertaining to this domain are given below:
* visualizing, formulating experiments
+ relating objects and concepts in new ways
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/+ identifying alternative/unusual uses for objects
+ finding solution for problems and puzzles
+ fantasizing
+ designing instruments and machines
+ dreaming!
+ thinking differently
4. Attitudinal domain
One of the main aims of Science Education is the desirable change
in attitudes and inculcations of values. It cannot be said that there is
any benefitin daily life by science education if there is no substantial
change in perspective of life and in the stand towards social or
individual problems, even if concepts and process skills are attained.
It is commonly seen in our country that even people who possess
higher degrees in science adopt unscientific methods in day-to-day
issues. Therefore science education should cater to the development
of areas like attitudes, values, decision-taking etc.
Factors that may be included in this domain -
+ faith in one's abilities
ability to understand human feelings and respect them
+ expressing one's emotions and thoughts creatively
+ thinking rationally about individual values and taking
decisions accordingly,
5. Application domain
The concepts, procésses and values become meaningless if the
student cannot implement them in daily life. Similarly, pure
scientific principles and concepts divorced from technology, will
not have much rélevance in daily life. Scientific information is seen
to be irrelevant for the student if it is not related to daily life.
‘These are some processes in the Application domain:
+ observe instances of science concepts in day-to-day life
+ use the concepts and skills gained to solve problems related
to life.
. create an idea of science concepts related to household
instruments.
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
+ evaluate events and developments related to science
+ take scientific decision on matters of food, health, life style etc.
= relate science to other subjects
Method of Science Learning
These objectives can be realized only when the scientific method is
adopted for science learning . Science learning should be process-
based. Activities that ensure the development of skills like collecting
information appropriate for problem-solving; analysing the
information, arriving at proper conclusions, examining the
conclusions and using them in new contexts arg to be conducted in
the classroom. Science learning should not be restricted to the
classroom. Hence outdoor learning also should be emphasized.
While saying that science learning should be process-based, it does
not mean that it is merely conducting activities, Each activity must
have an objective, It should be ensured that the student realizes/
achieves the objective. Conducting activities and not consolidating
may not help in acquiring the result. The student must be able to
identify what he/she has achieved when a learning process is
completed. This will help him/her in further studies.
Conclusions are made on the basis of the evidences derived/drawn
from learning activities. The évidences and the conclusions made
therein have to be evaluatedscfitically. While subjecting the method
followed and the activities {6 evaluation again, the opportunity to
identify errors, if any, andrectifying them opens up. The derived
concepts are accepted or rejected only after subjecting them to
criticism with high standards of academic discipline. This is possible
only in classrooms that function in a democratic way where there is
room for free and feailess interaction.
Concept formation’ occurs during interaction with the teacher,
interaction with friends, observation or engaging in experiments.
The student thus gets various kind of experiences.
Teaching - Learning Strategies
The explosion of knowledge has resulted in a new vision of
knowledge. Earlier, it was thought that the most effective method
was the transmission of knowledge by teacher to the student.
However, the modern view is that the student has the responsibility
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
and the right to construct knowledge. The teacher of modern times
hence has to use instructional approaches that motivate the student
to construct knowledge on his own.
Instructional strategies should be viewed as a social skill which is
part of the educational environment and not as a technique to be
mastered. They are to be considered as important components of
teacher-student interaction and notas teacher activities alone. While
instructional methods are planned the social and psychological
aspects of the learner need to be taken into consideration.
Let us examine some instructional strategiéshelpful in attaining
the learning outcomes.
1. Project
Project is one of the most suitable methods 6f instruction for science.
It is a method of self instruction using the method of science and
useful in the development of a number of process skills and hence
it is essential to use projects in science education.
What is a project?
When a problem is felt, data regarding the problem is collected.
The collected information is-summarised and analysed. The
conclusions that are obtained from analysis are used to solve the
problem - these steps reflect the essentials of a project. By doing
projects the students are given the opportunity to train in the method
of science. In doing so, thé Student acquires problem solving ability
which helps to tide over problematic situations in life and progress
in life.
Projects help to develop scientific temper, scientific attitude and
interest in learning science and to ensure active participation of the
student in learnifgractivities
Stages of a project
Feeling the problem
The project topic should not be arbitarily created, It should reflect a
felt problem in the learning situation which requires a solution to
proceed further.
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
Project topics arise when discussions relating to lessons are held in
the class. Itis important that the student has an internal urge to find
outa solution to the particular problem. When the topicis presented
the teacher must ensure this.
Defining the aim
If the student is to tackle the problem in a way suitable to his/her
abilities, thinking skillsand available facilities, the aims of the project
need to be defined precisely. To state the aims of the project simply
and clearly, the student needs the help of the teacher.
Planning
Hypothesizing
Drawing temporary conclusions on the basis of information
available at the time is known as hypothesising.
Methods and instruments *
Study methods and instruments are to be selected based on aims of
the project and the hypothesis drawn. The nature of the topic,
instruments used and the scientific approach followed should be
correlated.
Survey
Once survey method is selected, where, when and how to conduct
the survey must be decided. What will be the sample and who are
to be approached for data will also be considered. Questionnaires
and survey forms are tobe drawn up. During the planning phase
all these are to be discussed in detail. Teacher must interact with
the students, give suggestions and ensure that the instructions are
suitable and effective.
Experimentation
When experimental method is to be used, it must be considered
whether necessaty equipment is available. If not can these be
improvised? How can materials and instruments be made availalble?
These questions must be considered
Tabulation of data
+ What information is to be collected?
. What method can be used for collecting information?
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
+ When should observations be made?
+ How to tabulate data?
+ Are pictures, samples, and working models required?
+ Are checklists, rating scales and score cards needed?
+ Themethod of analysis should be decided in advance. Keeping,
to schedules, honest collection of data, accuracy of data and
precision are important.
Analysis
The collected and tabulated data can be analy$ed to examine the
validity of the hypothesis. The collected data feed to be classified
and compared. Comparison with standard information may also
be required.
Graphics and similar representation will make the analysis easier.
Conclusion .
Based on similarities, differences and relationships evident from
analysis of data, the validity of hypothesis may be examined. Those
found invalid are rejected and others are accepted as conclusions.
Execution of the project
An outline of the project based on the components discussed above
may be drawn up. The project activities may be carried out
according to this plan with necessary modifications at the
appropriate stages. Difficulties faced during execution of the project,
data obtained and information collected, are to be entered in the
‘activity log book’. This-will be helpful during report writing.
Visits made during the conduct of the project, experiments, arranging
equipment, recording data and analysis should be supervised by
the teacher. Teacher must take care to conduct discussions, with
students frequently to evaluate the progress of the project.
Application
‘The suggestions that arise from the project must be used for problem
solving whereever applicable.
Project report
Report is to be prepared by the students themselves. The structure
of the report should be finalised through discussion with the
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/students. It must be ensured that it is not too complex and hinders
activities.
+ The cover page may show title of the project, name of the
student/members of the group, and school address.
‘The report may contain

report. The aims and method of study of the project would be
recorded in the activity log book «luting the time of execution of the
project. The credibility of the,project and data can be established
with the help of activity log book.
Project Presentation
The project can be evaluated and the work done may be assessed
‘when the project is presented. Ideas can be communicated and
shared with others through presentation of the project
The project can be présehited in
. Class room

+ Science club meeting
. Science fairs%
+ School anfiual day meeting
+ PTA meeting
+ Ayalkootam
+ Other selected forums
‘The project method helps to train the students in the method of
science to familiarise them with self study habits and to find
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
solutions for local problems. We must take care to cultivate this as
an important method of study in our schools.
I. Seminar
Reporting is a core component of learning science. In seminar, data
relating to a specific topic is collected, analysed and presented as
paper for the benefit of others. It helps the learner to improve his/
her communication skills and provides opportunities for collection
of secondary data and for drawing conclusions: It is useful in
cultivating interests and attitude in science topiesand in personality
development. Topics chosen for seminars may be contemporary
and should have social relevance.
Organization of seminar
+ Topic presentation
+ Finding out sub topics or differentareas
+ Group formation
+ Assigning sub topics to different members of the groups. Each
group prepare paper on all the sub topics.
+ Discussion by each group’on the sub-topics (Refer books,
magazines, institutions, ete))
+ Organising ideas
+ Paper writing
+ Seeking the opinion 6f the teacher.
+ Presentation
+ Discussion
+ Summarising
+ The teacher-may provide reference materials and give
directions at all stages.
+ Writing of report
+ The report may include new information gained through data
collection, conclusions and findings.
+ The information collected by all the members may be included.
+ Tables, charts, books and other resource materials may be
included.
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/‘Teacher may examine the paper at different stages and provide
guidelines. The activities and participation of each student in the
group may be assessed.
Paper presentation
+ Teacher may function as the moderator during the initial stages,
but it is better to assign this role to students themselves.
+ All the group members must be present in the dias during
presentation and must actively participate in the discussion
after presentation by the leader.
+ Questions from the audience are to be Answered by group
members taking turns.
+ Teacher may intervene wherever nécessary to provide
instructions and help. wi
+ When sub topics are presented, aftér all the presentations are
over general discussion may beheld. Teacher may summarise
the discussion. —
+ A summarised version of th@ report may be recorded in the
activity log book.
Seminar papers and reports may be kept in the information corner.
I Discussion
Discussion is an effective method in the teaching learning process.
In the process approach it-has a significant role. Discussions are
essential for the student foshare their findings, ideas and conclusions
at each stage of learning with fellow students and teachers and to
assess progress.
Group discussion is an ideal method to inculcate social
consciousness, co-operation, democraticattitude, friendliness, open
mindedness and compromising attitude which are the ultimate aims
of education. It helps the development of communication skill,
hypothesis formulation, designing of experiments and analytical
skills.
General discussion is a method where discussion proceeds based
on the thought provoking questions raised by the teacher addressing
the whole class. Based on the random presentations of the group
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
members teacher and students move ahead with the development
of concepts, Finally teacher consolidates the concepts/ideas
discussed in the class.
Ina student centred classroom, the following points must be borne
in mind while conducting a discussion.
Discussion points may be provided to guide the progress of the
discussion.
This will help the students to reach the proper conclusion.
Discussion points may be in the form of questions.
+ During group discussion the teacher may.observe each group
and if needed help them to channel the discussion towards
the common objective.
+ Allstudents may be given opportunity to take part and express
their ideas.
+ Itmust be ensured that time limits are observed.
+ Theconclusion reached may be entered by each student in the
activity log book and a group.representative must present these
during consolidation.
+ The teacher may correct or'add to the conclusions and ensure
that all the relevant ideas have been covered.
+ Students may be direeted to enter the consolidated ideas in
the activity log books.
'V_ Debate
After presenting a controversial topic, arguments in favour and
against are put forward and a detailed analysis of facts is done by
both sides in a debate:
Relevance of Debate
+ Todevelop the skill of presenting the views of oneself logically
and argue convincingly
+ Todevelop the ability to compare others! views with the views
of oneself and to understand relevant aspects or ideas of others.
+ To develop leadership quality, democratic attitude and
communication skills.
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/eas Goole ll =
Conducting a debate
The selection of the debate topic must be done very carefully. A
controversial topic (one which can be viewed from two different
perspectives) is suitable for debate. Both viewpoints must help in
cultivating certain positive attitude among students.
The teacher must not take a decision favouring one group. An
objective approach is to be maintained while presenting the topic.
Only then the students will prepare to debate both aspects. ‘The
processes in the debate are;
+ Topic presentation
+ Preliminary discussion - students are'grouped into two.
+ . The two groups discuss the arguments they are going to
present, :
+ Responsiblities assigned for présenting different viewpoints
& arguments.
+ Either the teacher or a student functions as the moderator.
+ Each group present their arguments.
+ Moderator present an analysis of the ideas and consolidate
the points.
+ Moderator present an analysis of the ideas and consolidate
the points. Moderatormay present the consolidation in tune
with the method of science, The consolidated information is
recorded in the activity log book
Responsibilites of thé moderator
+ Introductory presentation
+ Guiding the discussion
+ Ensuring thatthe discussions are on right track
+ Ensuring, the time limits
+ Consolidation of arguments

VIL Information Communications Technology.
During a time of information explosion, comprehensive study of a
subject cannot be limited to books alone. Information technology is
a medium which can help one to collect and exchange new
knowledge that is created by the minute. A:contemporary mode of
teaching requires the help of it to a great extend.
Vill Assignments y
Assignments are learning activities helping to achieve the learning
outcome and also lead the pupil from the present level to a higher
Jevel of learning.
Assignments may be of the types-writings, drawings, construction
of models etc. In assignments involving construction of models, a
note on methods used in construction may also be submitted.
The discussion and planning may be carried out in classroom to
complete the assignments in time. Clarifications may be given about
the sources. Teacher may provide the sources if needed.
IX _ Solving of numerical problems
General Steps
+ Analysis and‘data entry
+ Selection of Suitable equation
+ Substitutiivand calculation
+ Final answer with unit
For a class of 50 pupils, 5 groups can be formed (Pupils on bench
can be treated as a group). Problems are given in groups. Each
student should go through the problem. They should follow the
above crieteria for solving the problem. After individual attempt,
https://textbooksall.blogspot.com/let them start group discussion. With the clarification, let them finish
the problem and present the method of solving.
Different types of problems, can be given to groups and teacher
should consolidate the findings.
X Activity log book
The student carries out a number of activities as part of learning.
Observations, collections, data organisation in tables, analysis,
consolidation and reports are some of these. Theactivity log book
is a record of all activities that the student caffies out in process
based learning - problems faced, methods adopted to solve them
and conclusions drawn. It is useful to the student as well as to others
who want to assess the students work and progress.
The student must record all the information about activities. The
activity logbook must help to record data systematically to analyse
the collected data and to consolidate-the ideas so as to share it with
others. %°
In short, the activity logbook is expected to be a comprehensive
record of learning of a year. tis a record of all the learning
experiences in the subject that a student has undergone during a
year.
XI'Science Club
‘The School Science Club must transform intoa platform for presenting
innovative, instruments, seminar papers, projects, experiments etc
made by students as\part of their activities in the classroom, It is
learnt that School Sciefice Clubs function mostly for Science fairs
only. This should change and the Science Clubs must become a
means for promoting science aptitude among students. The club
should start functioning in June itself and must prepare a years' an
action plan for one year. A science exhibition can be held to exhibit
the products of students at the end of the year. There are many
opportunities for the science club like observing important days
related to science learning, classes of experts on special topics,
seminars etc.
