My First Attempt at Teaching a Mass
Recently, I came across an opportunity to teach a class of junior and middle school students. I had to conduct two lectures, one on some basic Scientific Experiments, and the other on Communication and Speaking Skills. I do not know, what I was able to teach the students, but I learnt that management is a significantly difficult field and that teaching a class of kids is a serious threat to your larynx.
Scientific Experiments
My first class. It included some chemistry, physics and biology experiments. Below, is the experiment list:
Chemistry
- Filtration
- Diffusion
- Litmus Test
Physics
- Expansion of Solids
- Magnetic Lines of Forces
- Vibration Produces Sound
Biology
- Details of Microscope
- View of Onion Cells
- A Look into Pond Water
- Heart Muscles

| The experiment table |
 |
| Demonstration |
 |
| Mud-water to filter |
 |
| And, it's diffusing! |
 |
| Can you see the slide? |
 |
| Hey, there! Don't touch the plug! |
 |
| Can you see it? |
 |
| Soap is alkaline, ain't it? |
 |
| And this, my friends, is how you spell Physics |
 |
| This is something attractive! |
 |
| Come, gather around people |
 |
| And this is how, we see the field lines |
 |
| The magnetic field lines |
 |
| Any questions? |
 |
| And this, is what we call a tuning fork |
 |
| Can you hear it? |
 |
| Yeah, that's where your eye goes |
Under the Microscope
 |
| Partially stained onion (to show the difference between stained and unstained slides) |
 |
| Squamous epithelium |
 |
| I really don't think this is an Amoeba |
 |
| And, here goes, a beautiful Hydra (found in the pond water) |
Communication and Speaking Skills
This is a class, that gave me a sore throat. And, while preparing to take the class, I discovered that I had lost my favorite shirt!
 |
| Well, it means... |
 |
| And what asks you? |
 |
| Among the mass |
 |
| Close encounter |
 |
| Posing! |
Wrapping it up
As it turns out, teaching is a really interesting field. It is extremely tiring, but interesting, none the less. The one teaching often learns more then the ones taught. So, go around and teach any potential victim!
