What Are The Side Effects Of Tetralysal







Faruzina's Science Lab

One of my tasks at the Hope Project is helping with the photographic documentation. You can all see the fruits of my first mission: Capture the excitement in Faruzimas Science Classroom ".

I thought this would be no easy job, but after I had shadowed a morning when the teacher Faruzina, it seemed not so difficult. It was so much curiosity, fascination and joy of argument in the room that I almost just had to press the shutter button.

The Hope Project is a school with 600 pupils, it has set itself the task to allow the children to attend school, remain excluded from the public school system. Community Workers make their way into the homes to convince parents to send their children to school with them and try to overcome the social and organizational barriers that prevent this normally. Some of these reasons include financial problems, lack of papers, concentration problems caused by malnutrition, advanced age, lack of language skills, or simply that they are female and therefore education is not relevant for them and they reach a certain age anyway better move should only be placed in spatial and social boundaries. The aim of the school is to train these children so much that they can be integrated into the secondary state school system. There is also a night school for working children, special support classes for children in the public school system and vocational qualifier measures, such as teaching computer skills.

This school is in many respects quite extraordinary, if you still have further interest, I can you the blog of Pritha Ghosh, recommend the Educational Advisor to the Hope Project, there you will find even more photos ( http://curriculumathope.blogspot.com/ ). Pritha Ghosh is an energetic whirlwind and has taken more than two hours (she was hoarse), I explain the peculiarities of gesture-rich pedagogical approach. I was pretty excited to see the whole thing in practice to see.

My photos show especially the fruits of the "inquiry-based education." In Faruzima's class focused on the adaptation of organisms to their environment and take the knowledge to mediate in the chalk and talk, they would with a question like: "Why do the plants look really different in the desert than in the jungle?" and start the students then begin their own Develop theories why this might be so. You can ask the teacher holes in the stomach and so eventually develop their own understanding of the learning material. While I understand almost no Hindi, it is really fun to attend classes. It's just so much of in the air, which makes science really fascinating: dare wonder, curiosity to ask themselves questions, to share knowledge, gain new knowledge and the joy of it to understand things. In addition, I have to Faruzima's gesture somehow always think of Socrates.

Faruzima has tried to convince me with my background neuropsychological and maybe we will bring in one of the higher grades of plaster molds really brains and draw in the main sensory and motor areas ...
