Separation of Substances - Lesson 7

Project Plan – Lesson 7

The Manage Phase

 (7.1) Process Management:               
Planning
Project leadership
Progress monitoring
Process management
Conflict management
 (7.2) Student Preparation:
The students will be told about the idea for the project 2 weeks before it starts. New ICT tools to be used during the project (i.e. using a spreadsheet for survey results) will be practiced before the project launch.
 (7.3)  Facilitation:
Use of the library and computer equipment will be scheduled and booked in advance.
 (7.4) Progress Monitoring:               
Whole class conference once per week

Group Progress

Team checkpoint meetings as well informally daily checking with teams and individuals on their work.

         Individual Progress



(7.5) Re-planning:
Since student autonomy is low there is low risk of the project going off track. 10% additional time allowance has been included for overrun but the end date cannot be exceeded. There is an option for homework to be used to catch up if necessary.
(7.6) Conflict Management:

Teamwork rules will be included in project launch presentation. Students are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on their own. In the case of a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the teacher. Lack of participation will be dealt with by culprits being removed from the project work and set to work on alternative individual tasks for the duration of the project.

Separation of Substances - Lesson 6

Lesson 6 -The Review Phase

 (6.1)Student Reflection and Evaluation:
One lesson after the end of the project will be dedicated to student reflection and evaluation. Their reflection will cover: what topics I learned about, what new skills I learned, what I liked about the project, what I didn’t like about the project and what I would do differently on the next project. An evaluation form will be completed by each student as a homework assignment.
A subsequent lesson will be used to discuss the observations made by the students.
(6.2) Teacher Reflection and Evaluation:
I have prepared a teacher reflection and evaluation form to complete that covers:
  • Successes : We have completed the project effectively with the help , advice and motivation of the incharge teacher Mrs.A C Santhamma
  • Challenges : Nowadays readymade cooking materials are available and majority of the ladies are busy with their works , so less chances of using the different methods of separation .
  • Achievement of project goals :Methods of separation like filtration , evaporation ,condensation etc. used in our day to day life.
  • What I learned : Different methods of separation that I can apply in my daily life.
  • What I would do differently next time : I would like to select a place in rural area and study about these methods more .

Lesson 5 - The Do Phase

 (5.1) Project Launch:               
The project will be launched as a group meeting with the whole class. There will be a presentation covering goals, expectations, rules, procedures, assessment and grading. Students will be invited to discuss any of the above and we may make change as a result. The final presentation will be printed and displayed in the classroom as well as being posted in PBL Blog
Define, plan, do, and review cycles will be discussed.

Research notes(Project report)
                            Project Report
We started our project based learning (PBL) project on 28.10.16 with the selection of topic , that is , separation of substances . Further we divided the class into 5 groups in which each group composed of 10 members . Each group were given each method of separation as the topic like winnowing , threshing , handpicking etc. They collected information on each topic given to them . The in-charge teacher Mrs. A C Santhamma conducted an awareness talk on the given topic . The students have taken a lesson based on the given topic . They prepared questionnaire on the basis of information collected . The questionnaire was prepared for 3 different sites , that is , construction site , farmers , households . We conducted the survey and further we prepared a table for different methods of separation with the guidance of the in-charge  teacher . The first aid teacher Mrs . Sonia(Nurse) had taken a class based on the importance of methods of separation in our daily life . The children conducted a quiz as a part of presentation . We concluded the project with great enthusiasm and hope . We completed our project on 28.11.16 and submitted the project to principal by 02.12.16 .
