Microsoft Power-point as a constructive tool.

Constructive tool is a general purpose too that can be used to manipulate information, construct their own knowledge or visualize students understanding. It fosters thinking and creates motivation and independent learners. I have used PPT as one of the constructive tools to create this “simulation.” A simulation is an imitation of some real thing, state affairs, or process.

Process of creating the learning material

I have created the simulation based on the topic ‘Solar Eclipse’ for class VI science students which there included in their curriculum. I have created this simulation using only one slide which includes all the process of occurrence solar eclipse.

1.    First, before creating the simulation, I have selected the topic “Solar eclipse” from class VI science text book.

2.     I searched information on solar eclipse.

3.    I then downloaded the pictures and gif related to the topic.

4.    I downloaded the music for my simulation using MP3 juice from google.

5.    I drew the picture of the sun and the moon on the ppt by with the help of videos in U-tube.

6.    After that, completing my diagram, I then started to add text explaining how solar eclipse occurs.

7.    I added my added my gif which related to the solar eclipse occurrence.

8.    Then I have a picture of solar eclipse occurrence followed by questions.

9.    I inserted texts, drawing, gif, pictures and questions in sequence but for the first topic I kept on click after that I set the animation on “after previous”, so that it will appear in sequential order and I have set time for each animation.

10.I have added background music only on the drawing part where I have shown the how solar eclipse occurs along with explanation.

 

Why I created the simulated learning material?

I created this simulation because this can help students to visually see and hear how the solar eclipse occurs. It can give them broader understanding of the concept and keep them keep interested on the topic due to presence of animations and music.
