To day i was teaching my class in which most of the students were from St.Marys.My aim was to teach photoelectric effect .I started with workfunction .I started by putting question to my class What is workfunction ?I get stunned to see that no body was able to give answer of this question?a science student of class XII is not responding to this question?Same problems arise with sophians/ What is cause of this problem? I think the cause lies in there habit of running for tutions and not doing any self study/The money per students invested by these students is enormous but basic grip on fundamentals is getting more and more poor.Going through only tution notes will not give you indepth feeling of subject. I have just started this discussion ,i will put my feeling in next blog

A Story of Two Pebbles

For that we plan a audio visual presentation in auditorium .For me it was a wonderful experience ..Student response and there involment was wonderful. She uses a very good inspirational story to interact with students which I am writing in this blog so that all other may also be benefited.

He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble...

In this from the given place we counted number of visible stars in 10 different direction.Then we take its average and after multiplying by 345 we measure the number of stars. Students were very much excited .I hope that in future we may have more such workshops In the end i want to say Twinkle -twinkle little star I do not wonder what you are By spectroscopic method , I know that you are hydrogen

Interaction with XI classs students

On my previous class in school,after finishing our topic we have discussion. One of the girl after class came to me and said that cant we do some invention ?
