recalls
Length, Mass and Time
SI- System International (Universally accepted system)
Metre(m), Kilogram(kg), Second(s) Ampere(A), Kelvin(K) etc.
What are the fundamental quantities?
What is meant by SI?
What are SI units?


recognizes
We can measure the length of an object correct to one millimeter with this scale.  Because centimeter, millimeter divisions are marked on a metre scale

Explanation for a metre scale
What are the uses of metre scale?
observes



draws



labels the parts accurately
    
                                     

  





The teacher displays a chart showing the diagram of a vernier callipers



Draw the diagram of vernier callipers


Label the parts of diagram of vernier calliper
How many scales are there in the diagram?
recognizes
1.   It has one main scale (cm,mm) with two fixed vertical of jaws and a movable vernier scale with a pair of jaws parallel to the fixed jaws.
2.   Ratchet is used to move and fix the vernier scale at any point of the main scale
3.    Downward jaws-measurement of outer dimensions
      Upward jaws-measurement of inner dimensions Steel strip-measurement of depth of objects.
The teacher explains a vernier callipers





What are the uses of Ratchet?
recognizes
LC = 1M.S.D -1V.S.D.= 1mm-0.9mm
= 0.1mm = 0.01cm
The teacher explains the least count of a vernier calliper
Define least count
finds out
LC = 1mm-0.9mm
= 0.1mm = 0.01cm
The pupil finds out the least count of a given vernier calliper
The least count of the vernier callipers is.........?
recognizes
A cylinder is holed between the two jaws of the vernier callipers. The position of the zero of the vernier scale on the main scale noted as a main scale reading.
The vernier scale division which coincides with any one of the main scale division gives the vernier scale reading.
Length of the object = M.S.Reading + (Vernier scale reading Least count).
The teacher demonstrates the experiments to find out the length of a cylinder by using vernier callipers.
(a) What is the formula used for calculation of the length of an object?
(b) How will you find out main scale reading?
Calculates accurately
Length of the object = 3.5 + (40.01)
                                 = 3.5 + 0.04
                                 = 3.54cm
Calculate accurately the length of the object for the given values
M.S.R.= 3.5cm
V.S.R.= 4
L.C = 0.01cm

recognizes
When the jawas of vernier callipers are in contact, the zero of the vernier scale coincides with the zero of the main scale.
If the zero of the vernier scale is on the right or left of the zero of the main scale is known as positive and negative error respectively.
The teacher explains zero error and it’s two types
(a) Define zero error
(b) What is positive error?
(c) What is negative error?
identifies
(A)   Positive error
(B)    Negative error
Identify the type of error in the following diagrams



gives reasons
(i) Because LC is the smallest length measured by vernier callipers and used to find out the thickness.

(ii) To make the measurement correct and accurate.
Give reason for the following (i) Why do you find out LC of a vernier callipers?
(ii) Why do you find out zero error?
The smallest length measured by vernier callipers is known  as _______
shows curiosity
It is used to find out the length and diameter of a cylinder and etc.
The pupil shows curiosity to know more about vernier callipers

REVIEW : 
Fundamental quantities – SI units - Description of vernier calipers – least count and it’s determination – procedure to find out the length of the cylinder – zero error and it’s types.
ASSIGNMENT  
  1. Explain the description of a vernier calliper with a neat diagram.
  2. How will you find out the LC and Zero error of a vernier calliper?

2 ENGLISH BEFORE INDEPENDENCE AND ENGLISH NOW IN INDIA and present status

ENGLISH BEFORE INDEPENDENCE AND ENGLISH NOW IN INDIA:  Place of English before Independence- 30  India inherited English‘ from the Britishers who ruled our country for more than two centuries. For over 200 years Indian intellectuals have been studying English. Today English has entered the fabric of Indian culture. English education in India began with the year 1765, when the East India Company became a political power. The first six decades of English education in India did not witness any remarkable progress. Firstly Macaulay‘s Minutes (1835) paved the way for the development of English in India by making its study compulsory. His this famous minute on education became the ‗Manifesto of English Education‘  in India. Macaulay‘s minute is very clear and unambiguous about the goals of English education in India We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern a class of persons, Indian in blood and colo...

current trends in modern english literature in India

  The 21 st  century has proved to the world that English literature is no longer the sole province of the imperial England. Although English literature started and flourished in England, it has gone on to sow the seeds of creativity in English in other parts of the world. Interestingly, the English people themselves paved the way for the unexpected developments that we witness today. When the English colonizers went to America, they began to write their own literature of the Americas. Similarly, those English men and women who went to Australia began the process of a new literature called Australian literature. And so is the case with Canada, India, and Africa. With colonization in some parts of the world, especially, Africa and Asia, there emerged a new literature which later came to be known as the Commonwealth literature, New Literature in English, postcolonial literature and so on. Not to be left out, even those countries which were not colonized by the English like Bhu...

English language in the school context- an evolutionary perspective

2. GOALS FOR A LANGUAGE CURRICULUM  A national curriculum can aim for • a cohesive curricular policy based on guiding principles for language teaching and acquisition, which allows for a variety of implementations suitable to local needs and resources, and which provides illustrative models for use. A consideration of earlier efforts at curriculum renewal endowed some of our discussion with an uneasy sense of déjà vu. However, we hope that current insights from linguistics, psychology, and associated disciplines have provided a principled basis for some workable suggestions to inform and rejuvenate curricular practices. English does not stand alone. It needs to find its place 1. along with other Indian languages    i. in regional-medium schools: how can children’s other languages strengthen English teaching/learning?    ii. in English-medium schools: how can other Indian languages be valorised, reducing the perceived hegemony of English? 2.  in relati...
