A PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT IN TEACHING SCIENCE

A PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT IN TEACHING SCIENCE A science lesson dealing with the concept ‘sound is produced by vibrations’ was transacted in the format of ‘theory into action’ using Gardner ’s theory of learning based on multiple intelligences. The learning theory consists of use of seven intelligences in teaching a lesson, namely, kinesthetic (hands–on), visual, verbal, musical, logical-mathematical, inter-personal and intra-personal intelligences. For hands-on experiences, making and use of straw saxophone was done. Simple visual illustrations, flow-chart, cinquain poetry, group worksheets and individual practice sheets were used for rest of the intelligence.   Human beings have a potential to learn or analyse an experience and codify it. Furthermore, human potential consists of multiple intelligences and according to Gardner , it is of the utmost importance that we recognize and nurture all of the varied intelligences, and all their combinations.   Russell further...

No War! No Kings! Cries Rent American Skies: Limericks

Image
  No War! No Kings! Cries Rent American Skies: Limericks A world gripped by fear and dismay, As Iran and bombs held the day. "No War!" voices cried, With nowhere to hide, For peace, they would fervently pray. The White House, a powerful stage, Where Trump held a king-like rampage. "No Kings!" they did shout, To tear autocrats out, And turn a new, democratic page. The workers, their wages all shrunk, At Trump's golden tower, they all bunked. "No kings!" they now cry, As jobs start to die, And fear's bitter pill they have drunk.

JAIN AUSPICIOUS SYMBOLS AND THEIR MESSAGES: COUPLETS

Image
  JAIN AUSPICIOUS SYMBOLS AND THEIR MESSAGES: COUPLETS Srivatsa gleams, upon the chest, A pure, pious soul, sacred test. Nandyavarta twists, a blessed knot, Ending cycles, what it has got. Bhadrasana stands, a royal seat, For rightful souls, and karmic feat. Kalasha full, of water bright, Purity shines, a guiding light. Darpan reflects, the soul within, True self revealed, where good can begin. In water fish swim, a joyful pair, Prosperity flows, beyond compare. Dhwaja waves high, a victory won, Liberation reached, the journey done

Jain Pious Swastika Sign: Four Life Choices and Righteous Path

Image
  Jain Pious Swastika Sign: Four Life Choices and Righteous Path The Swastika spins, a holy sign, For a path to be truly divine. The beasts that roam, the plants that grow, An earthly pulse, delusive flow. And shadows deep, a painful sting, Where darkness dwells, and sorrows cling. Be not beast, with tooth and claw, But rise above, beyond the flaw. Be not devil, dark and cold, Let kindness bloom, a story told. Be human first, with open eyes, Then seek the stars, and paradise Then here below, the human ground, Where choices bloom, and life is found. Above, the pious, celestial light, A blissful grace, serene and white. The turning lines, a sacred sign, Four corners bright, they intertwine. Knowledge vast, a boundless sea, Perception clear, for all to see. Joy unending, a happy heart, Energy flows, a brand new start. Four pillars strong, a faith so deep, Monks and nuns, their vows to keep, Laymen too, and women kind, A community, for all to find.

'NO KINGS' LIMERICKS

Image
NO KINGS  LIMERICKS  A leader named Trump, quite uncouth, Tried to rule from a high, kingly booth. But the people arose, Said, "No kings!" it goes, "Our power, not yours, is the truth!" A land where the free birds take wing, Felt shadows of one like a king. No kings, said the crowd, Voices lifted aloud, For liberty's song they would sing. A leader, with power unbound, Tried to push common sense to the ground. But the people arose, Said, "That's how freedom goes!" Our strength in the people is found. No walls should divide, or detain, Nor wars spark and endlessly stain. So let voices unite, For justice and right, And build a world peaceful again.

Message of Lord Mahavira Lion Icon: Vanquish Vaggeries of mind and senses

Image
  Message of Lord Mahavira Lion Icon: Vanquish Vaggeries of mind and senses Jina, like a lion stand, With courage in your hand. Mahavir's strength, a guiding light, To conquer darkness, make things right.   The mind, a wild and restless beast, The senses crave, a never-ending feast. But you, like lion, strong and bold, Take command, let peace unfold.   Ahimsa, truth, your guiding stars, Beyond all worldly bars. The lion at his feet does show, The path to inner strength to know.   No wars to fight, no battles won, But inner demons, one by one. Like Mahavir, with fearless grace, Find peace within, in every place.   So hone your mind, let kindness bloom, Dispel all shadows, chase away the gloom. A lion's heart, so brave and free, To master self, eternally.

Tread Three-fold Path of Ahimsa, Truth, and Detachment for liberation: A Poem on Jainism

Image
  Tread Three-fold Path of Ahimsa, Truth, and Detachment for liberation: A Poem on Jainism To find a peace the world cannot impart, Seek not to wound, let kindness be your guide, Ahimsa's gentle touch, a work of art, Where harm is shunned, and egos softly subside. Hold not too tight to things that fade and flee, Detach, release, let go of what you crave, For in that freedom, true serenity, A space to grow, a soul that you can save. Speak only truth, let honesty prevail, A beacon bright, dispelling shadows deep, A shield against the forces that assail, And promises that you forever keep. Through these three keys, a path begins to bloom, From gentle life to light beyond the tomb.
