(2) Provides a variety of examples to explain the concept
(3) Includes activities that children can perform in groups and draw conclusions through a Power Point presentation
(4) Mentions about the use of ICT to help students understand the concept
9. Ms. Patel, Principal of a School XYZ, is keen about integrated approach to teaching of Science rather than teaching different disciplines separately. The basis of this is
(1) non-availability of qualified teachers in her school to teach separate disciplines
(2) difficulty to adjust the teachers in the time-table
(3) difficulty of students to adjust to different teachers
(4) all the disciplines are interlinked and a teacher can draw on cross-curricular linkages
10. A teacher plans to teach "Components of Food" in Class-VI. Which of the following can be used as an essential question ?
