Classroom Interaction Procedure                                            Response

Introduction

            Teacher begins the class by asking about the travelling

experiences of children

Ÿ          Do you like journey?

Ÿ          Have you seen any sign boards while travelling?

Ÿ          what does sign boards like ‘go slow’ means?

Teacher shows powerpoint slides of traffic sign charts.

PPt

 

Traffic Sign Chart

Through these teacher develops interest in learner to know

more about speed.

Presentation

            Teacher asks to the pupil the distance and time taken

by them to reach school.

            Teacher gives a problem table to the students and makes

 them to fill it.

Vehicle        Distance     Time          Time of           Time of

                                           taken         departure       arrival

Bicyle           500m           30 min       9.30 am

Bike              500m           3min          9.30 a.m

Bus               500m           5min          9.30 a.m

Train             500m           2min          9.30 am

Based on the table teacher asks some questions as follows

Ÿ    Which vehicle arrives first?

      Ÿ    Which vehicle arrives last?

      Ÿ    What is the reason for these difference?

Through the answers given by the learners teacher elicites the

factors related with speed and correlate the equation

                                      B.B

                        Speed                        =          distance / time

After provididng equation teacher defined the concept of speed.

Concept formation

            speed is the distance travelled by an object in unit time

Aactivity 2

            Teachers makes the children to tell the units of distance

and time. Thus teacher helps the children to elicite the unit of

speed

Teacher explanation

            Unit of speed            =km/hr or m/s

Consolidation

            Teacher summarizes the concept formed in the class

            Teacher asks the children about the consequences of

violating traffic rules and signals and thus inculcate the value to

obey traffic rules.

REVIEW

            Teacher asks the following questions to strengthen the

formulated ideas and concepts.

Ÿ    What is speed?

Ÿ    What are the factors affecting speed?

Ÿ    What is the equation of speed?

Ÿ    What is the unit of speed?

Follow up activities

Problem

Ÿ    A car travels a distance of 120 kmin two hours. What is                                 

the speed of the car?

 Ÿ     Draw any three sign boards and write what does it                                           mean.
