Reflection on Teaching Internship  Experience Image source: Shutterstock Rana Rasheed Physical science Reg no : 243240113253 Teaching internship is a vital component of the B.Ed. programme, as it provides prospective teachers with valuable classroom exposure and helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. My teaching internship at Aluva Higher Secondary School, Marampally, was a memorable, challenging, and enriching phase of my professional development as a Physical Science teacher. During the internship period, I taught Physical Science to high school students, with a major focus on Chemistry for Class VIII. At the initial stage, I felt nervous about classroom management and student engagement. However, through continuous practice, careful observation, and the guidance and support of my mentor teachers, I gradually gained confidence. The students were friendly, cooperative, and enthusiastic, which created a positive and supportive learning environment. Their active particip...

 Unraveling the Secrets of the Periodic Table: A Journey Through the Elements The periodic table, a staple of chemistry classrooms worldwide, is more than just a chart of elements. It's a gateway to understanding the building blocks of our universe, from the simplest hydrogen atom to the complex compounds that make up our modern world. In this blog post, we'll delve into the history, structure, and significance of the periodic table, exploring its impact on science, technology, and our daily lives. History of the Periodic Table 1. Early Beginnings: Dmitri Mendeleev's 1869 prediction of undiscovered elements. 2. Mendeleev's Table: The first comprehensive periodic table (1872). 3. Noble Gases: Discovery of argon, neon, and xenon (1894-1898). 4. Modern Refinements : Advances in atomic theory and quantum mechanics. Structure of the Periodic Table 1. Rows: Periods, representing electron shells. 2. Columns: Groups, showcasing chemical properties. 3. Blocks: s-, p-, d-, and f-...
