Innovative Model on Basic Constituents of matter

 Innovative work 

The biggest challenge any teacher faces is capturing the students’ attention, and putting across ideas in such a way that it stays with them long after they have left the classroom. For this to happen, classroom experience should be redefined and innovative ideas that make teaching learning methods more effective should be implemented. The use of innovative methods in educational institutions has the potential not only to improve education, but also to empower people, strengthen governance and galvanize the effort to achieve the human development goal for the country.

Comic Book - Batman in the Universe Of Chemistry 

As part of BEd  fourth semester BEd curriculum, I have presented an innovative work on the topic' Basic Constituents of the matter' for teaching class 8 Chemistry. Comics are very interesting to students and if the concepts are presented in the form of their favourite characters in the comic it will be very interesting to inculcate the concepts in students. 

I named the comic book as' Batman in the world Of Chemistry. The main aim of the work is that , they easily understand the matter, atoms, elements and their structure and to explore and visualise the" Heart of chemistry". Students were very curious in reading the book and then doing the activity. 

Then after reading the book, students are provided with the" game of elements". It's a working match the following activity based on elements and their symbols.
