This document discusses different types of activity aids that can be used in teaching, including demonstrations, experiments, field trips, and dramatic activities. It provides details on demonstrations and classroom experiments. Demonstrations involve a teacher or student showing how to operate equipment while others observe, and have advantages like following a systematic procedure but risks not covering all content. Classroom experiments involve students collecting data to solve problems, extending concepts in a hands-on way, and keeping learners engaged through active learning. Field trips take learning outside the classroom and provide interactive, entertaining experiences that broaden students' knowledge.

3. Activity aids
They are potent motivators.
They lend reality to the classroom teaching and link instruction
with real life.
They develop interest in students.
They make learning more permanent.
They help a continuity of thought.
They save time and make learning solid and durable.

4. Type of activity aids
 Demonstration.
 Experimentation.
 Field work
 Dramatic
 CAI

5. Demonstration Method
Demonstration is a learning activity
 which is performed by a student, a group of 3 to 4 members or a
teacher while the rest become observers.
Teacher-dominated
Teachers show how to operate, manipulate an equipment while
the class observes

6. Demonstration Method
Teacher should be knowledgeable in preparing the
apparatus needed according to the steps to be
followed
The rest of the class becomes focused on the
activity and concentration on the subject is assured

7. Advantages of demonstration
Follows a systematic procedure
Helpful in conducting session and using computer programs
Possible wastage of time, effort and resources will be avoided if
demonstration is well-planned
Small number of equipment is needed
Stimulate students to be more analytical

8. Advantages of demonstration

Helpful in conducting session and using computer programs
Possible wastage of time, effort and resources will be avoided if

Small number of equipment is needed
Stimulate students to be more analytical

9. Disadvantages of demonstration
All contents can not be covered
All students can not participate
Low thinking in fast demonstration
No discussion
Only useful for skilled subjects
Lack of sincerity

10. Suggestion
Teacher should be sincere, diligent and skilled person
Demonstrator should prepare himself for demonstration and
encourage the learners
Demonstration should followed discussion
Advance planning is essential for effective demonstration
Summarize the concepts in few words
List visual aids such as graphs, drawing, computer driven aids and
models etc
Demonstration must have the ability to use audio visual aids with
expertise
Determine the concept with good examples


12. Activity Aids
Field Trip
Presented by
Hina Ambreen Roll # 26

13. Field Trip
Field trips require significant planning for teachers and
administrators,
Students see a field trip as a free day out of the classroom.
Students experience that they never has in the classroom.

14. Interactive learning
Field trips help students interact with what they are learning.
The students are able to see, manipulate or participate
physically.
Students are able to see elements with their eyes rather than
reading.

15. Entertainment
Field trips provide entertainment for students.
They serve as a powerful motivator for students.
Fieldtrips provide kids with a refresher that make them more
focused in the classroom.
Learning and fun make a great combination for learners.

16. Extension of classroom study
Field trips take the learning from classroom to life.
Field trips can answer the question of how learning can be
applied in life.
There are also opportunities to incorporate experience back into
classroom activity.
Through presentations, slide shows and answering questions,
the kids can learn the lessons.

17. Social Interaction
Field trip places the kids in a different social environment.
They meet a new set of adults and possibly other children.
These interactions teach them how to behave in different
settings.
It fosters a sense of teamwork among the students.

18. New Experiences
Many children don't get to experience the typical field trip
locations with their families.
A school trip gives students the opportunity to experience new
venues.
All parents are not able to take their kids to zoos, museums and
other field trip destinations.
Field trips take a great deal of work and energy, broadening the
student’s ability.

Classroom Experiments

20. What are Classroom Experiments?
Classroom experiments are activities where students work in groups on
inquiry questions.
Materials provide students with the means of collecting data through
interaction with typical laboratory materials,
Decision making environment leads to discovery-based learning.
The instructor acts as facilitator, asks leading questions and draws
results.
Focusing on ideas, students need to understand correctly to support deep
learning.

21. What are Classroom Experiments?
Classroom experiments differ from classroom demonstrations because
the students are involved in collecting data or observations.
All experiments involve observations to solve a problem.
Classroom experiments help students learn more about the material they
are studying.
An observational experiment where students "see what happens" can
also be useful.

22. Why Teach with Classroom Experiments??
Experiments can be used either to introduce new ideas or to clarify
puzzling aspects of topics.
If the result of an experiment is surprising, students are in the position to
build new ideas.
If the experiment has been understood correctly, students extend the
concept to another application.
Note that some classroom experiments may need to take place in a
laboratory.

23. Experiments help teacher achieve Goals
Student Learning Outcomes
Instructor Satisfaction With Teaching
Teaching Evaluation Scores
The method is built on research on learning.
It shows that most students do not respond best to pure "chalk and talk,"
but rather to "active learning" environments.
Classroom Experiments keep learners engaged.

24. How to teach with Classroom Experiments
Conducting a classroom experiment is easy to do.
It is good idea to use an experiment that someone has prepared.
A published experiment contains detailed instructions for conducting the
experiment.
