Branches of physics

Importance of physics in our daily life In our daily life we hardly find a device in which laws of physics are not involved. Pulleys are used to lift heavy loads. Electricity is used to get light,heat and mechanical energy that drives fans and electric motors. Means of transportation such as car and aeroplanes,domestic appliances such as air conditioner,refrigerators,vacuum cleaners,washing machines and microwave oven etc. The means of communication such as radio,TV,telephone and computer are the result of applications of physics.These devices have made our lives much easier and faster and more comfortable than the past. Computer is the invention of physics. 10 branches of physics and their definition Mechanics It is the study of motion of objects,its causes and effects.

Students teams acheivement model (STAD)

 One of cooperative learning methods is Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD).  In STAD: students learn to be formed into groups of four or five members of different skills and  genders. The teacher gives a lesson. Students work in each group to ensure that all group members have mastered the lessons given. students carry out tests on the materials provided and work on their own. The objectives behind practicing STAD in classes are to:  Practice cooperative learning skills. Develop sense of responsibility between classmates. Ensure the automaticity of the materials. Promote sense of belonging and involvement. The method which STAD is applied: Phase 1: Instruction.  Introduces and develop the content. Phase 2: Transition to Teams. Teacher explains how teams will function. Phase 3: Team study. Teacher monitors groups and supports group’s efforts. Phase 4: Assessment. Individual students are formally assessed.
