The three days’ workshop for the PGTs [Phy] at KV 2 Dehu Road from 16^th to 18^thSep. 2010 started with the introduction

by venue Principal and Director of the programme Shri H. K. Ganjoo at 9:30 am. He conveyed the best wishes to the participants

iii. Identify topics from all the 10 units, prepare frequently asked question on these topics and give to the slow learners 8-10 questions daily.

They should solve them in a separate notebook and correction must to be done by the teacher .He reminded the teachers that No machine can replace teachers and leaders are supreme nation builder.

2. To achieve the objective of the workshop participants are divided into six groups

3. Teachers [21 participants] introduced themselves and principal sir made the senior most PGTs as group leader

Ø Collect and compile the presentations prepared by the participants and video lecture if any.

Ø To prepare materials required to make the students achieve excellence in physics

Ø Most probable questions chapterwise which enable the weakest student to score minimum pass marks.

After the tea break at 11’0 clock Principal Sir gave a very informative lecture on the latest issue by Prof. Stephen W Hawking on Universe.

Director Mr. H K Ganjoo spoke about unification of forces and made us aware of the theory that building blocks of universe are energy strings. Universe has 20 constants and minute change in any of this constants could have changed the structure of universe. Copies of ‘String Theory’ and constants are distributed to all the participants.

Followed by the Lecture by Principal, demonstration lessons were conducted by Mrs. Tresa Joseph PGT (Physics) KV No. 1 AFS, Pune on Davisson and Germen’s experiment to prove wave nature of electrons and Mrs. Jyoti Patil PGT (Physics) K.V. NDA on semiconductor diode and applications. Principal Sir gave some tips to make the lesson interesting and a few things which students in Physics must know, like quantization of orbits, simple derivation of De -Broglie wavelength etc.

First session got over by 1.45 pm. Second session started after lunch at 2.15 pm. Participants assembled in Physics lab to discuss and start the assignment given to the different group. It got over by 4.30pm after tea.

The second day of the Physics workshop started at 8.30 a.m. with the group work .The group leaders along with the members of their group started doing the work assigned to them. The group wise assignments were done as follows:

Group A: Compilation of ‘Higher order thinking skill questions’ (HOTS) of class XI and XII.

Group C: Error analysis-Identification of Common errors and their rectification for class XI and XII.

Group D: Compilation of computer aided lesson plans (PowerPoint presentations onVarious topics).

Group F: Compilation on most probable questions for the slow learners for preparing them for the Board Exams for achieving excellence.

Group G: Strategies for the preparation of students to achieve excellence in class XI and XII.

At 11.00 a.m., all the participants enjoyed tea with biscuits. After having light refreshment, they assembled in the CCA Hall for the most awaited ‘INTERACTIVE SESSION’ in which there was a lively discussion on various topics that were posed as difficult topics and the doubts were cleared by other participants who knew those topics well. In the meanwhile, honorable Principal Shree H.K. Ganjoo also obliged the participants by presenting demo-lessons on topics such as the one related to the derivation of de-Broglie’s wavelength by using the quantization condition in a very simple and effective manner, which proved to be very useful for the participants.

The interactive session started with a demo-lesson on ‘lens maker’s formula’ presented by Mr. R. N. Wadalkar who very nicely explained the topic with the help of an illustrative diagram. A question ‘Can a virtual object form a real image?’Was then posed by Mr. Ramtek , which was well explained by Shree H.K. Ganjoo.

Another question based on whether the image would be formed always on the right hand side only or that it can be shown to be formed even on the left side also while deriving the lens maker’s formula was followed by Shree H.K. Ganjoo’s explanation that the formation of the image depends on the distance of the object from the lens.

Then, Mr. Yudhvir Singh explained the difference between the actual and diagrammatic representation of a real object, a virtual object and the formation of a real and a virtual image and concluded that a virtual object can form a real image.

After this, Mrs. Rachel presented a demo-lesson on the topic of a.c. circuits which was very well explained by taking different types of a.c. circuits, the phase relationship between the current and the voltages with the help of phasor diagrams. Then, Mr. Arun Kumar Tumsare asked a question whether it is possible to write V as V_R+V_L+V_C in a series LCR circuit or not. Shree H.K Ganjoo explained that this equation is true in the vector form. The discussion involved clarification on many doubts on various topics such as diffraction, electromagnetic induction, ray optics, alternating current circuits, e.t.c.

Second question that was raised by Mr. Arun Kumar Tumsare was whether current should be treated as a scalar or a vector ? To explain this, Mr. Vikas Giri drew a phasor diagram on the basis of which he explained the concept nicely.

Finally, Shree H.K. Ganjoo asked the participants the different ways in which Resonance can be defined. The participants answered in all possible ways, 10 different definitions of Resonance were stated.

Then, Mrs. Jyoti Patil posed a doubt about the direction of induced current, which was well explained by Mr. Vikas Giri and Mrs. Tresa Joseph with which this session ended.

In the post-lunch session, the participants again assembled in the Physics lab at 2.00 p.m. for the project work assigned to them.

The third day of the physics workshop started at 8.30 a.m. with the group work. The group leaders along with the members of their group started doing the work assigned to them.

Compilation of work was done for ALL THE GROUPS (A TO F) and prepared its soft copy.

At 11.00a.m all the participants enjoyed tea with snacks , After having refreshment all the participants assembled in the “ PHYSICS LAB” . There was an active discussion session on difficult topics and each one us has imparted their knowledge to others, which was beneficial to everybody to teach under the guidance of our eminent venue director Shri H. K Ganjoo.

This session was highly interesting and lively by giving different hints for the different topics by our honourable Director Shri H.K.Ganjoo due to which our knowledge content has been enhanced. The discussion involved clarification on many doubts on various topics pertaining to class XII especially.

At 1:30 p.m. all the participants enjoyed delicious lunch. In the post lunch session all the participants again assembled in the Physics lab to clarify their doubts regarding practical and activities. All the members of group E extended their helping hands in arranging the practical along with the cooperation and guidance of other senior participants attending the workshop. This has helped the participants in sorting out their difficulties faced by them during regular practical periods.

At the end, Shri H.K.Ganjoo, Course Director enlightened our minds, highlighting the role and responsibility of PGT PHYSICS in imparting information and knowledge to the students in his K.V He emphasized on achieving academic excellence by way of achieving targets set by worthy Assistant Commissioner Shri PRL Gupta. It was felt by all participants that objectives of conducting the workshop were achieved and every participant realized his professional growth to have been enhanced after the workshop. With the commitment of rendering all possible guidance and assistance to the students given to the care of PGT’s , the 3 days workshop for PGT (Physics) came to an end at 4 pm., with expressions of gratitude to our higher authorities in KVS for having provided a platform for sharing of our knowledge and experience. The vote of thanks was proposed by MS. Varsha Kadam
