Expanding the Horizon (Too Cliché?)

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!
