Grade VIII

Topic: Why leaves change colour.

What did students do and learn?

Students worked in groups. They separated the colours in green leaves by chromatography and proved that green leaf is not actually only green, it has other colours also which we see at different times of year.

They were told the chemical present in different. Then they made a presentation by pasting at least four coloured leaves and identified the particular chemical in those leaves.

How did the activity go?

All the students of grade Viii attended the activity. Followed teacher’s instructions carefully and successfully separated colours in green leaves. They displayed their setups and presentations. Their work showed their understanding of the concept. Later on they wrote their comments and explained what they learned.

What should be done to further improve?

This time they started keeping record of the activities and writing about their learning . Next time hand outs will also be given beforehand so that they can research on the topic to understand the concept thoroughly.
