Content-based material 2 (February month's Blog)

General introduction windmill models

I have developed teaching-learning materials (models of windmill) using PowerPoint Presentation for grade IV learners. This model will assist teacher’s teaching and children’s learning which will enhance better understanding of the concepts. Psychologists believed that students learn better when they are given hands on experience or visual aids.

Activity Instructions

This model will be able to understand the concept of windmill clearly.

The following instructions are given while discussing the advantages of wind:

Ø  This activity will carry out in the group.

Ø  Students will look at the models of windmill on slideshow.

Ø  They should think very carefully and watch the show.

Ø  After thorough analyzed they will discuss the importance of wind.

Ø  Finally, they will share their point to the class.

Tools and Materials

I have used the PowerPoint Presentation to develop content-based materials that is models of windmill. I have used certain 2-D shapes such as equilateral triangles, cloud callout and circle to make windmill models and trees and grasses. I have applied animations (spin, free form drawing motions and grow and shrink) that enable the models rotate and move trees and grasses to represent the blow of wind.

Implementation

This windmill model will be used to assist the students learning. It can be used as visual aids during quiz competition. Since it is kind of animated learning model, this can be used as sample model to develop other possible learning models in different contents.

Advantages

·         Effective visual learning materials

·          Easy accessible to all once uploaded in the google classroom.

Limitation
