WHAT IS EDUCATION?....


Is it a Capsule?


Is it an injection?


Is it filling in a pail?


Is n't it lighting a  candle?....


Education should prepare the way for reason by the  proper exercise  of  senses."

REAL EDUCATION...


" If you touch me soft and gentle

If  you look at me and smile at me,

If you listen to me and then talk to me,

I will grow rally grow."


"The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil."

DO YOU KNOW – 2





Why are water drops spherical?

Liquid drops tend to be ina   state of minimum surface energy which is directly related to the surface area.  

The  force,  surface tension, which is trying to hold the droplet together,  therefore tries to reduce the  surface area of the drop. 

Mathematically only a sphere has the smallest surface area for a given volume, compared to other geometric shapes .  

 Hence in the absence of external forces,   liquid drops tend to the spherical.

How does water stored in mud pot remain cool?

Water store ina mud pot remins cool because of a  phenomenon called evaporative cooling.

Mud poets by their very nature include a umber of very minute pores through which water can slowly ooze out. In effect  these pores increase the surface area  of water and consequently increases  evaporation.   

For water to evaporate it requires some energy  which it takes as heat from the water itself.  This results in lowering the temperature of the water in the pot. Liquid water can turn into water vapour  in two ways- boiling and evaporation, Boiling takes place only at a particular temperature called boiling point, but evaporation takes place at all temperatures.  

 While for boiling heat is supplied from outside,  for  evaporation heat is taken from the water itself.

It is  for the same reason,  we feel cool when a wind blows and takes  away the sweat from us.

Dear Parents / Guardian....



Let  me grow   as   I be !

And not like my Mom  wants me to be;

Nor my Dad hopes I  will be;

Or like my teacher thinks I  should be;

Please try   to  UNDERSTAND

 and HELP ME 

To GROW  JUST 

LIKE ME !

More examples of Verbs with no passive

Rise

Wrong :

Correct:

There is no passive form for rise.

Start

We use the active form for start when referring to activities
e.g. election, meetings, press conferences.


take place


Wrong :
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was taken place at the site to commemorate the opening of the new exhibition centre.
Correct: A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at the site to commemorate the opening of the new exhibition centre.

There is no passive form for the expression take place.

Tense In Grammar


Tense is the way grammar expresses time through different verb forms. At least, that is what we normally think. Tense in English, however, is sometimes not directly related to time in the real world. The Present Simple can be used to talk about other times:


The future: We leave at six tomorrow morning, (a plan)
The present: I take two eggs, beat them, then mix in the flour, (a demonstration)
The past: So - just as we agreed - I ring her. I do my best to be nice to her.
And what thanks do I get for it? Nothing! Just told never to ring again! (a person telling a story)
All time: I love my wife, (a statement which we hope will always be true!)
So, take care when you give rules to students about the tenses. Remember that it can be better to say nothing, rather than give a rule which is sometimes true and sometimes not.
