• Virtual Labs: Existing e-learning platforms such as
DIKSHA, SWAYAM and SWAYAMPRABHA will also be
leveraged for creating virtual labs so that all students
have equal access to quality practical and hands-on
experiment-based learning experiences.(p 59)
• Pedagogy must evolve to make education more
experiential, holistic, integrated, inquiry-driven,
discovery-oriented, learner-centred, discussion-based,
flexible, and, of course, enjoyable. (p.3)
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
Textbook of Pedagogy of Science (NCERT, 2013) suggests
that use of laboratory must be focused towards achieving
the objectives of developing
(a) cognitive abilities, i.e. principles and laws discussed in
the classroom may precede or follow the laboratory work or
it may be carried
out during discussion;
(b) process skills of science;
(c) scientific attitude and
(d) understanding nature of science.
Objectives of laboratory work
Emphasis should be given to the first five letters of LABORATORY rather than
the last seven letters.

Discussion questions
What do you mean by period of a simple pendulum?
Explain how energy is conserved in pendulum
oscillations? Where the potential energy is maximum
and minimum?Where kinetic energy is maximum and
minimum? Show the direction of the velocity and
acceleration at various points along the pendulum
oscillations.
What is the relationship between L and T ?
Students may try to use the formula for g by increasing
amplitude of oscillation and examine whether the
formula still hold?
Describe the relationship between kinetic and potential
energy of an oscillating pendulum?
Post lab session:Communication

Effect of bob mass on the time period
Effect of bob length on the time period
Effect of thread/copper wire twined thread on the time
period
Effect of material of the bob on the time period
Effect of shape of the bob on the time period
Effect of location of the bob (earth, moon, planets ) on
the time period
Draw L- T² graph and calculate g
Find effective length of the pendulum using L- T²graph
Example:Simple pendulum
A point mass suspended by an inextensible,
massless string from a rigid point support.
The motion of a simple pendulum is simple
harmonic for small angular displacement.
The simple pendulum executes Simple
Harmonic Motion (SHM) as the acceleration of
the pendulum bob is directly proportional to its
displacement from the mean position and is
always directed towards it.
Example:simple pendulum
The force
acting in a
simple
harmonic
motion is
proportional
to the
displacement
and
is always
directed
towards the
centre of
motion.
Example :simple pendulum
Integrating virtual lab with relevant cocepts
At what point amplitude is maximum for a body executing SHM?
Can a body has zero velocity and finite amplitude ?
What is a second pendulum? Calculate length of a simple pendulum.
What is the quantity that remains constant during the motion of a simple pendulum?
Show direction of velocity of the bob at its different positions.
Can a motion be periodic but not oscillatory?
What is the total distance covered by the bob if one time period is T and amplitude is A?
At what position of the bob it has acceleration without having velocity?
What will be the effect on the time period of the metallic sphere is replaced by a
wooden sphere of the same diameter?
At what position of the bob tension is maximum along the thread? Is the motion of a
simple pendulum is perfectly SHM?
Is the motion of a simple pendulum a example of acceleration that is changing in
magnitude and direction?
Objectives of laboratory work
Simple pendulum: torque
τ = Force × perpendicular distance of the axis of rotation
from line of action of force
Scientific attitude denotes an attitude of logical,
rational and scientific thinking.
A person having scientific attitude inquire, search for
evidences, reasons before accepting anything.
She/he does not accept anything simply because it has
come from an authority or someone she/he has faith.
A person having scientific attitude makes informed
decisions and possess a rational outlook towards life.

Respect for evidence
Curiosity
Open mindedness
Suspended judgement

Logical thinking
Ability to sieve relevant information, facts, concepts from the
pool of irrelevant ones
Scepticism
Objectivity, unbiasness

Acidic compounds
Inorganic chemical

oxygen
Forms acidic solutions
Covalent compound
Reacts with bases to form
salts
Basic compounds
Inorganic chemical
compound containing
metal bound to oxygen
Forms alkaline solution
Mostly ionic compounds
Reacts with acid to form
salt
Difference between metal and non-metal oxides
General properties of ionic compound
(i) Physical nature: Ionic compounds are solids and are
somewhat hard because of the strong force of attraction
between the positive and negative ions. These compounds
are generally brittle and break into pieces when pressure is
applied.
(ii) Melting and Boiling points: have high melting
and boiling points . This is because a considerable
amount of energy is required to break the strong inter-ionic
attraction.
(iii) Solubility: Electrovalent compounds are generally
soluble in water and insoluble in solvents such as kerosene,
petrol, etc.
(iv) Conduction of Electricity : Ionic compounds in the solid
state do not conduct electricity . But ionic compounds
conduct electricity in the molten state.
