4.Extension Learning Objective- Students build on their self understanding, take ownership of their learning process.

Exam time is nearing. Each student is to choose one topic from the syllabus and create a project that explains the concept. They are too make videos, songs, models etc.

Madhu chooses “Working of an oscillator” and creates a working model to explain the topic. When she presents her project in class, the topic gets revised for her classmates !

Srinivasan makes a video on “Safety precautions for working in an electronic lab’. Their trade skills teacher refer to their projects while teaching it to the juniors!
