CIVICS
Democracy is a fundamental pillar of our society, and understanding how it works is essential for every citizen. In class 7, students embark on a journey to delve deeper into the decision-making scheme of democracy. Through a structured curriculum, they explore the roles of the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary in governing a state, using the example of Haryana to illustrate these concepts. To initiate this exciting topic, students are introduced to a visual aid - a map of Haryana. This map serves as a valuable tool to help students understand the geographical divisions of the state and how they contribute to the formation of the governance system. Understanding the physical layout of a state is crucial as it directly impacts how the government operates. With a clear grasp of the state's division, students are encouraged to put their knowledge into practice. They draw the first level of a flowchart, representing the divisions of the State Government. This hands-on activity reinforces their understanding of the government's structure, making it easier to remember and apply later on. Next, the focus shifts to the Executive branch of government. Students delve into the powers and functions of the Governor and the Chief Minister. They learn about the Governor's role as the head of the state and the Chief Minister's responsibilities as the leader of the government. This knowledge helps students appreciate the division of powers within the Executive. A critical aspect of any democracy is its legislature. Students explore the concepts of unicameral and bicameral legislatures. They categorize states based on these concepts, helping them distinguish between those with one legislative chamber and those with two. This categorization exercise enhances their understanding of the diversity in governance structures across India. Using Haryana as a case study, students learn about the division of Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council). They gain insight into the unique features of their state's legislature and how it contributes to the decision-making process. This hands-on application reinforces their understanding of legislative functions. Finally, students explore the functions of the Legislature, including the crucial tasks of making laws and formulating budgets. Understanding how laws are enacted and the importance of budgeting in governance helps students grasp the practical aspects of democracy and decision-making. As students progress through this curriculum, they not only gain a firm grasp of the decision-making scheme in a democracy but also become informed and engaged citizens. By using real-world examples like Haryana and interactive activities, they develop a deeper appreciation for the complexities and importance of our democratic system.

GEOGRAPHY
magine a cozy blanket that wraps around our Earth, keeping it safe and warm. That's precisely what the atmosphere is – a protective layer of gases held close to our planet's surface by the force of gravity. The three main constituents of this essential "blanket" are argon, oxygen, and nitrogen. In fact, you can visualize this composition using a pie chart, which was shown in an engaging video during the lesson. The Structure of the Atmosphere: Our atmosphere is not just a uniform layer of gas. It's divided into distinct layers, each with its own unique characteristics. Let's take a closer look: - Troposphere: This is the layer closest to Earth's surface, where all our weather happens. It's where we live, breathe, and where clouds and storms form. - Stratosphere: Above the troposphere lies the stratosphere, which contains the ozone layer. The ozone layer plays a crucial role in protecting us from harmful UV rays. - Mesosphere: Going further up, we enter the mesosphere. This layer is where meteoroids burn up as they enter Earth's atmosphere, creating those mesmerizing shooting stars. - Thermosphere: Beyond the mesosphere is the thermosphere, where temperatures soar to incredibly high levels. This layer is home to the International Space Station and other satellites. - Exosphere: Lastly, we have the exosphere, which gradually fades into outer space. It's where Earth's atmosphere merges with the vacuum of space. To help visualize these layers, we used diagrams and videos that make understanding the structure of the atmosphere a breeze. Weather and Climate: Now that we've explored the layers of the atmosphere, it's time to delve into weather and climate – two concepts that are often confused. - Weather: Think of weather as the day-to-day conditions in your location. Is it sunny or rainy? Hot or cold? These are all part of the weather. - Climate: Climate, on the other hand, is the long-term average of weather patterns in a specific region. It tells us what to expect over an extended period – like seasons. To understand what influences weather and climate, we discussed four key factors: - Temperature: How hot or cold it is in a particular place and time. - Air Pressure: The weight of the atmosphere pressing down on Earth's surface, which affects weather patterns. - Wind: The movement of air masses caused by differences in temperature and pressure. - Pressure Belts and Wind Systems: We'll use diagrams to help you grasp how pressure belts and wind systems work, influencing our planet's climate.

During the festive month of October, students voyaged through the fictional world of H. G. Wells in ‘The Strange Man’s Arrival’. They learnt the difference between science fiction and fantasy through a video from Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ where a glass elevator scene is imagined way ahead of its time. In H. G. Wells' story, students observed how to describe persons and situations where hardly any action is taking place.
From the fictional world of Wells, our young voyagers travelled back into Wordsworth’s time to appreciate Nature through Wordsworth’s eyes-- the pristine natural beauty, the serene bird songs and the happy inhabitants of the natural world. The students admired the subtlety with which the poet expresses his feelings and leaves a timeless message for all humanity—“Come forth into the light of things and let Nature be your teacher.” The poem, 'The Morning After', intelligibly conveyed that we should learn from the birds and animals to always look at the bright side of life. Composite poetry analysis questionnaire was attempted by the students in their English notebooks.
