6. , EVS – an example for grade 1 ◘◘ Group activities will facilitate active participation and experiential learning. Activity based learning facilitates understanding scientific characteristics of the materials around, for example, different houses. ◘◘ For teaching ‘changing times’, the entire content can be divided into parts concept wise. Then narration using real objects can be used as a technique for better understanding. ◘◘ The concept of rain can be demonstrated by playing recorded sound effects of thunder and rainfall with associated animal and insect sounds. ◘◘ Picture/flash cards can be used to introduce the objects that are not available, such as, non-regional plants.

7. ◘◘ Teach lessons in smaller units and move from simple to complex tasks ; ◘◘ Give more time and practice to children who require it ; ◘◘ Provide concrete concepts ; ◘◘ Use multi-sensory approaches – visual, kinesthetic, tactile and auditory ; ◘◘ Use language and vocabulary the child is familiar with. .

8. ◘◘ Students learning through direct and/or hands-on learning ; ◘◘ Students having control over their learning, allowing them to learn at their own pace ; ◘◘ Teachers allowed to build on and facilitate learning ; ◘◘ Greater opportunities for students to learn collaboratively when projects are taken up in pairs or groups
