task 1 and 2

Task 1


I was taught Physics’ subject for form four classes. The most interesting topic that I think it was very interesting was Force and Motions (Relationship between Pressure and Surface Area). In this topic, students learned how to relate the pressure and surface area by doing a meaningful activity like build the parachute. In this activity also, they can use their ideas involving concepts that they was learned before to build the parachute. The parachute must be fallen from a high place to know whether it functions very well or not. All students were enjoyed and they were very interested doing this activity.
I think the lesson was done very well because the objective of the lesson was achieved and at the same time all students was gave a very good ideas and good commitments in this activity. They were successfully to create their own ideas to relate the concept that they had learned before about relationship between pressure and surface area. In this lesson, they observed by their own selves how the concepts were working.
So, from my experience I can conclude that the lessons with meaningful activities will give a good effect to the students.

Task 2

Of course I have so many challenges in my lessons. In Physics’ subject, most of the students cannot see the concepts involved with their own eyes. So, they cannot understand the lesson. In this case, teachers must have the good skills how to explain to the students to understand the concepts. All students must use their imagination to learn Physics. To solve the problems, I always ask students to apply the concepts by doing simple activities relate to their life. The interactive modules also help my lesson in my class. By using this module, especially the simulation, it will give my students more understanding. All the students were enjoyed and they were very interested to learn and understand the concepts.
