Created in partnership with Students and Teachers of primary grades, this project kit creates a fun & memorable learning experience to understand the flow of energy on Earth.
1.Learning Outcomes :
Students should be able to get a sense of
Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems
The food of almost any kind of animal can be traced back to plants.
Cycles of Matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems
Organisms obtain energy from the environment, and release energy back into the environment
What happens if all the
Frogs in the world
suddenly die
one day?
Tip What does a Frog eat? Who eats a Frog?
We will all Die too!
(sooner than you can think)
Energy Flow
It’s a connected system. Energy system on Earth is all connected & interdependent between all living & non-living organisms
The Energy Pyramid block
building game shows how
energy flows from BOTTOM TO TOP
& how the entire chain
collapses when one block
falls off
Energy Pyramid
Students build the pyramid bottom up with
3 color coded layers of blocks.
The layers of pyramid show how energy
flows from bottom to top.
The Magnetic Food Chainblocks helps find what adifferent animalsEAT &DON’T EAT
Food Chain Students match animals to 3 types of blocks – Producers, Primary Consumers & Secondary Consumers
They move the blocks closer to see the relation between the 3 types of animals
2. Use Case
Students
Understand abstract topics
Teachers Teach using alternate methods & gamifying learningtopics
Meet Aditi.
She lives in a community which gets waterlogged in the rainy season. She loved summer but hated the rainy season & the frogs that come along. She gets irritated by their sounds in the night & prays to god to take away all the frogs allowing him to sleep in peace.
On The Look Out! Suman & Vidya are now exploring ways to make this abstract concept easier & engaging for their class
Meet Suman & Vidya.
Suman & Vidya, two enthusiastic young teachers, recently joined as primary school science teachers in Bhopal.
Students in their classes, mostly from class 2 & 3, found it challenging to understand & grasp the abstract topics of Food Chain, Interdependence of animals etc..
An understanding
barrier left Aditi
feeling hatred and
hampered Vidya’s
teaching.
Then, Vidya discovered
Food Chain Project Kit
She has his visiting customers speak
their camera issues into the app.
She’s able to give them a friendly,
personalized experience by
understanding exactly what they need.
A simple gesture
Teachers Vidya & Suman tried the
Food Chain project kit in their class.
The classroom turned lively with
student conversations & questions like
“Why can’t a Lion eat Grass?”... “Why
are there more plants than humans?”
From irritated to curious
Aditi made a photo library with 15 varieties of Frogs
& other insects that can be seen in rainy season.
She now started to like the rainy season too.
3. Performance
On NAS
National Assessment Survey (NAS) conducted by NCERT across India to find learning gaps in Science
On TIMSS TIMSS is an international assessment of Math & Science knowledge of students around the world.
It’s no surprise Vidya finds it difficult to teach
the Food Chain topic in class.
23% is the national average
score in NAS & 36% is the
international average score
in TIMSS
NAS & TIMSS NAS score is of students from class 3 & TIMSS score is of students from class 4
