Day 10: Today as usual at 9 am our class was handled by Shiney ma'am. The class started by a prayer by me. Parvathy shared an inspirational quote by C S Lewis "Hardship often prepare ordinary people for an extra ordinary destiny."

Ma'am shared two vocabulary words:

Persuasion-strong belief or ability to 

pursue. 

Deception-act of misleading scripts. 

After sharing vocabulary words Ma'am discussed about the terms induction and deduction. Induction is specific to general and deduction is general to specific. 

Ma'am taught us the difference between attitude and aptitude. Attitude (behaviour) may change according to situations. While aptitude is stable and it is inborn. We begin the class by discussing points on Functions of Science. 

The points were shared each other. 

#Practical functions of science was shared by Archa. These include:

•The learning of science is said to develop certain powers of clear and vigorous thinking of coherent and logical deduction of exact and accurate observation, a kind of mental discipline characteristic of science. 

•It also develops scientific attitude consisting of traits like open mindedness, patience, accuracy etc. 

# Cultural functions of science was shared by parvathi. The points include:

•Culture is considered as a way of life. 

•It also emphasize the finer things of life, those we would cultivate through education. 

#Vocational functions of science was shared by sruthi. She express her views through example.

•The knowledge of science can be made use of in a number of hobbies like photography, gardening, bird study etc. 

#Social functions of science was shared by Sreelekshmi. She shared the idea that  socialogical  changes occurs as a result of scientific discoveries. 

After sharing the ideas on functions of science,Ma'am taught us about scientific method and it's steps. Scientific method is a systematic and orderly method of solving problems. 

Second session of the class was handled by George Thomas Sir. Sir suggested  that we should be physically and mentally strong. Due to lifestyle changes, so many health issues are faced by our society. So we should overcome the health issues through proper exercise especially through yoga.

 Sir asked us to share our opinion regarding  physical education period. Each of the member from different optionals, share their views and we came to the end of the session by doing an online Anilomaviloma pranayama, is a type of yoga, in which inhaling the fresh air through one nose and releasing the air through another nose.

 The yoga exercise gave refreshment to me. 

Third session of the class was handled by Dr Ancy ma'am. She revised last class portion by asking questions. 

Later, Ma'am taught as Jean Piaget-four stages of cognitive development. These includes:

#Sensorimotor stage:

•From birth to the acquisition of language. 

•Object performance. 

#Pre operational stage:

•Starts to learn language.

•Begins to utter word to ask for something. 

•It includes pre-conceptual phase and Intuitive phase. 

#Concrete Operational stage:

Ma'am described these four stages with a detailed example and an interesting video. 

It was an interesting session.
