WORKSHEET SAMPLE Observe the given picture and answer the questions. What change will you observe in the colour of the solution after dropping an iron nail into it? Why do we observe the colour change in solution? [Hint- formation of iron sulphate] What causes brown deposition on iron nail? [Hint- formation of copper] Write the word equation involved in the above reaction.

REMEDIAL MEASURES PROVIDING INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION. ENCOURAGING PEER SUPPORT. REVISION WORKSHEETS/ POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS. REVISION CLASSES. SEEKING COUNSELLOR’S GUIDANCE TO RECTIFY ACADEMIC DIFFICULTIES.

ACHIEVING SUCCESS- SELF DISCIPLINE PROPER STUDY PLAN REFERRING SCHOOL WEBSITE FOR WORKSHEETS AND SAMPLE PAPERS AIMING FOR BEST SCORES

Regular checking – by the Parents Please check your ward’s Science notebook regularly- this would help you to know the topic being taught. You will also be able to keep track if the class work and home assignment are complete.

Positive Reinforcement Criticize and Compare Assist study plans Regular discussion on the progress Keep scolding often Allowing mobiles for a long period Regular to PTM / HOD meeting Help in time management Keep nagging Showing interest in their goal setting
