Innovative work phase 1

                 INNOVATIVE WORK 

On 19 th November 2024,I took a period in 9 th class on the topic centrifugal force( circular motion, continued) from the chapter gravitation of class 9 Physics part 1 text. Since I already taught them circular motion, they have previous knowledge of the concept to some extent.

   I demonstrated the working model of a ferris wheel (giant wheel) by switching on the battery and then the model rotated with the help of dc motor. I asked the students why the people sitting in a ferris wheel don't fall when they rotate, what is the force which balances centripetal force. I conveyed the idea of centrifugal force also centripetal force, the concept of circular motion through this model.

The students had the opportunity to interact with the model and explore its features. I could see the spark of curiosity within them. The teaching experience was also a resounding success.
