3. Exploring simple machines –Making learning fun by exploring
the key terms and concepts associated with these devices. Also
a discussion by the children on the forces at work while putting
together the project.

standing of simple machines by making models of their choice
based on the scientific principles. While presenting the models
the children developed research and communication skills.

5. Children reflected on their understanding of Newton’s
laws of motion. They spoke about the theories of forces
discovered by Newton and the science behind the three
laws.

6. Summative Assessment - Students worked in groups where they
chose and designed a piece of land incorporating the concepts
from unit of inquiry. After doing this they got a clear idea about

learning was assuming a character from the stories of their

skills in the formal setting of a classroom wherein they used
their own imagination and responsibly directed their
understanding of adverbs in a holistic way

time) as children worked individually and collaboratively in drawing
clocks and telling the time. Also they learnt the different shapes by
watching a video and collecting different shapes and making a collage.
