Thought Bite - Torch and Learning - EXPANSION

A torch is an essential tool at the campus. Many of us buy them, use them, and throw them when not working. We also have many nonworking torches. This brought a need to understand the torch. A session was announced to understand torch.
 
Some of the questions 
What is a torch?
What is light?
What is the source of life?
What happens to the light?
Where does the light come from?
How to measure light?
 
Some of the words - Focus, brightness, distance, spreading, intensity, color, measurement, speed.
 Some thoughts about torch 
How does a torch work?
What are all the features?
What makes it working?
What are cells?
What is the battery?
 
Some observations 
Switch, on, off, wire, battery, connection, solar panel, motherboard, glass, three batteries, indication, recharge, capacitor, led, brighter, function, wires, discharge, metal plate, copper, spring, grips, rings, different kinds of torches, some numbers printed. 
Different types of lights
A different source of light- solar, button cells, battery, Switch and wires 
 
Some prediction 
Maybe power gets stored in a battery?
Maybe some connection?
Maybe some carbon dioxide?
Maybe wire carries the charge?
Maybe the motherboard sends the signal?
 
What makes a torch? - battery, bulb, switch, and some wires. If we keep them together will we have a torch? Or will the bulb glow?

 Making our own diagram allowed us to play with our own circuits of our own torches.

Thought Bite - Maths on the road ! - Logical Intelligence

Image
First outdoor with different age kids. The goal was to explore “maths in Traffic”. We began by collecting data at two different signals. We counted vehicles,  categorized them like color, size, shape, brand, and so on. We explored a lot of concepts – counting, addition, subtraction ratio, and proportion.    We analyzed the data in different forms – graphs, writing words instead of numbers, drawing designs in graphs, the ratio of male and female drivers, people with hamlets and without a helmet and inferring ratio, brands of bikes, colors of bikes (black was more than red), unique colors (green car) and so on. It was learning for me to explore how different children were counting, how they were analyzing the data, how they were observing, and lot more……… KIDS SPEAK I observed the waiting at a junction and were letting other vehicles cross. I observed the timings at the signals, the second, sequence. I observed the dividers, speed breakers, and the roads. I wrote down what ...

Thought Bite - Oh No! It's time to do some unlearning

Image
Its time for us parents to go back to school - not to learn new things, but to unlearn - ​ a whole lot of what we have ​been ​unfortunately conditioned with.   Its time ​to question our beliefs, its time for some de-weeding   ​ - to create a better, more organic, more meaningful and vitalizing ecosystem for our children. We share 2​0 such​ "OH NOs" ​ below.   1.  We are supposed to teach the students according to the syllabus.“Oh,No!” The syllabus is only an excuse to make them think, to develop this core ability. 2.  Knowledge is powerful.  ​  “Oh,No!” Knowledge is a commodity. The real power is each child's ability to apply knowledge. 3.  Children need to know. “Oh,No!” Children need to experience and understand. From understanding will sprout knowledge of all kinds, of all requirements. 4.  That, who has scored high marks has understood. “Oh,No!”.  ​Mere marks do not guarantee understanding or learning. 5.  That who scored low ma...

Thought bites - MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE

Image
MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE   Mathematical and logical intelligence is the ability to quickly understand mathematical and logical problems Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is also the ability to appreciate and calculate the effect of actions upon objects or ideas. And the relationships among them. To apply reasoning skills, to provide solutions and recognize patterns to overcome complex mathematical and logical challenges as well as solving critical and creative problems. Though there is a widespread belief that those who want to improve their logical intelligence should be very good at mathematics, this is not necessarily the case.     What it implies to? Math logic application in real life, to solve problems, in the field of construction, Laboratories for testing, reason through important decisions, solve problems, generate creative ideas and set goals, drafting, to make story around math concept, To play with the logic, to find your own theory behind the concept,...
