Lesson 2


2.1 Essential Question:
 Put in writing the question that will engage the students

1.     What kind of food do you consume daily ? “ Am I getting proper food daily “ Please Think !
2.     How can we improve the life style to keep a healthy habit ?
3.     What exercise should be taken up by a person to burn down the excess calories ?
Related to MATHS : 
TASK 1 :- Eating a burger gives 360 calories and drinking a 200 ml bottle of cola gives 80 calories. Anil consumed 6400 calories on eating burgers and drinking cola in a week . The number of cola bottles he consumed is half the number of burgers he ate in a week. Represent the above statements in the form of linear equations and solve them graphically to find the number of burgers and cool drink bottles he consumed in a week.
TASK  2 :-  Anil’s friend suggested that he should jog and swim regularly to  burn the excess calories . Anil started  swimming for 180 minutes and jogging for 120 min in a week and lost 2400 calories. In the next week he lost 3200 calories by swimming for 2 hours and jogging for 4 hours. Represent the above statements in the form of linear equations and solve them algebraically to find the calories burnt in swimming in an hour and jogging in an hour.

Launching the Project in the morning assembly/CLASS X-A

Speech by Deepika  of Class X –A dated 08-08-2016

When you allow students to envision their own learning and create a style that really works for them , what you are doing is creating lifelong learners.
Good morning
                Today I am standing before you to introduce all of you to project based learning . Project Based  Learning is a method to inspire students to think , connect , create and share. It makes an attempt to connect knowledge and skills with personnel experiences of the students in such a way that it results in life skill  learning. Project Based Learning bridges the gap between learning  knowledge and applying skills. In simple words it bridges the gap between knowing and doing. PBL makes students critical thinkers , problem solvers and effective communicators .
Why Project based Learning ?
                Students learn more deeply when they get to apply class room gathered knowledge on real world problems and when they take part in project that include collaboration and sustained engagement . Also students are most successful when they are taught what to learn as well as how to learn.
How does this work ?
                PBL poses a problem or ask a question to which all students can answer . Concrete , hands on experiences come together during PBL. It fosters abstract and intellectual task to help students to explore complex issues and topics.  Ie, PBL allows students to investigate problems and issues that the real world is facing.
                An analysis conducted in USA found that when implemented well , PBL can increase long term retention of contents and skill as well as improve teachers and students attitudes towards learning. 
                Let us hope that PBL will bring about a change is us  “ Tell me  and I will forget  , show me  and I may remember , involve me and I will Learn “ .

                That is exactly PBL is all about.
                    (Speech by Deepika  of Class X –A dated 08-08-2016 )
Explaining  the PBL project  in Class X –A on 09-08-2016

This project aims at spreading awareness among children of class X th   about the life style management . The topics planned to be dealt with.
Ø  Importance of balanced diet.
Ø  To understand what it means to have a balanced diet.
Ø  To explore the cause and effects of healthy and unhealthy eating habit.
  The scope of  the project in the class:-
This include class and section, subjects it covers, self skills to be used etc. as well as other factors affecting scope.

An interview with Medical Specialist Dr. Jithendra Babu{By Group 1}
Dated 24-11-2016

Today we have child lover with us. By saying this you might have guessed it is a teacher but it is wrong.   We have a paediatrician with us.  His name is Dr S. Jithendra  Babu.  He takes care of children. 
I am  Rishika. 
How are you sir?  Are you all good with your Patients?
Sorry sir, I think it’s a bit sensitive.  Sorry for asking.
Paediatrician- No, It’s alright.  They are all good in their beds.
  I am allowed only 10 minutes sir. So, I can start.
Paediatrician - Yes off course.
ME - You know this is the 21st century and there is a rising population and majority of them prefer to take science stream in higher studies.  So, actually what is the future for paediatrics?
Paediatrician – In general, I think that paediatrics has a strong future.  As long as people keep having babies, there will be a need for paediatrician to take care of them.
ME – That is a different opinion Sir. Can I continue?
Paediatrician – Yeah
ME – This is the 21st century and there are many social evils. One of them is the usage of junk food mainly by the young generation. What is your opinion about that?
Paediatrician – I know that it is an uprising social evil. Its usage must be reduced otherwise it will lead to child obesity and lack of physical fitness.
ME – So, are you saying that we have to switch on to a healthy diet? Or otherwise, how to ease into a healthy diet?
Paediatrician – If you want to control the use of junk food, we have to obey some health rules.
Ø  Everyday start with breakfast
Ø  Hard-boil some eggs, this is good even when you are in a hurry so, you can grab an egg before you go to work or school. By this you won’t be tempted to eat food in nitrogen Packets.
ME – That is a strong one. What are the other rules?
Paediatrician – Do you out for lunch everyday?
ME – Yeah once a week.
Paediatrician – Cut back on calorie restaurant food. When you are at school Pack your lunch a couple of days each week. When the snack time comes around, choose a Package of mixed nuts instead of a candy bar. Drink lots of fresh water instead of sugary soda or hydrogenated drinks.
ME – A lots of new things sir. Thanks for that.
ME – My mother has a doubt. When she went for shopping, she often see the words “enriched” or “fortified” on food Packaging, what do they mean and are they the same ?
Paediatrician – As a doctor I think that foods that are enriched or fortified have one or more nutrition’s added to them such as Calcium, Vitamin C, Protein, Iron and Fiber. They are not interchangeable.
ME – I will surely inform my mother. Thank you.
ME – How to eat healthy and avoid fat diets?
Paediatrician – Fat diets are bad but they can lead to successful weight loss if you follow them exactly as they are designed.
ME – Can you suggest any drink which is healthy for us?
Paediatrician – Yes sure. Stick to water as your main beverage and avoid sugary sodas, and if you get tired of plain water, add a slice of lime to add a touch of flavor.
ME – What about green tea sir?
Paediatrician – Green tea also add great benefits to our health.
ME – I have heard in T.V Programmes that there are good fats too. What are they or why do we need them? Where to find them?
Paediatrician – Yeah I will tell you. You need to eat fats. Good fats are necessary for a healthy body but you also need to avoid some fats. There are some bad fats that raise Cholesterol and other cardiac diseases which are very dangerous.
ME – So can you share some of the good fats with us?
Paediatrician – Yes off course. Some of them are found in nuts and vegetable oils. Seafood’s are also rich in facts. Olive Oil and nuts are rich in fats which are good for our heart, for the circulation of blood vessels.
ME – It is the young generation and you know well that children at this age are not going to eat their traditional foods all the time. Generally, they all are dependent on breakfast cereal. So my question is, How to choose a breakfast cereal? Do you have any suggestions sir?
Paediatrician – Even my family is depended on that. Always choose a breakfast cereal that has 5 grams of sugar. Also use berries, sliced fruit or raisins to add sweetness to your cereal. Avoid cereals with lots of sugar. Look for a cereal which is rich in Vitamins and Minerals. Avoid dairy products which are rich in fats. You can add hard-boiled egg or fresh fruit juice to make it a healthier breakfast.
ME – From all these, I understood that we should have a balanced diet. I will definitely share my experience with you and aware others about the usage of junk food. Thank you for sharing your precious time with me sir.
Paediatrician – You are welcome. All I wanted to say is that you are the young generation and don’t always depend on junk foods. Don’t be a bad path to the coming generation. So, let food be the medicine and medicine be the food. Live young Live Healthy. Thank You.

PROGRAM PRESENTATION AND HEALTHY TIME TABLE : DATE 25/11/2016



Mathematical Task - 1
Q:  eating a burger gives 360 Calories and drinking at 200 ml bottle of cola gives 80 calories. Anil consumed 6400 calories on eating burgers and drinking Cola in the first week of vacation the number of cola bottle consume is the half number of burgers he consumed in the first week .represent the above statement in the form of linear equation and solve them graphically to find the number of burgers and cold drink bottle he consume in the first week.
ANS: calorie gained by eating a burger is 360
 calorie gained by drinking of 200 ml Cola is equal to 80 calories
 let number of burger he had be x
and the number of bottles of Cola he drunk be y
 anils total calorie consumption=6400
-x+y=6400 => {1}
No of cola is half no of burgers
Y=1/2x=>{2}
{1}
X
20
16

Y
-10
8
35
80

{2}x

80
y

15
25
40



Since the two lines intersect at the point(16,8),the solution is x=16,y=8.
Therefore the number of burgers he consumed is 16,and the number of cola bottles he consumes is 8
TASK  -II
In addition to having cold drinks and burger Anil is also very fond of eating chocolate French fries watching TV for long hours and gained weight suggest five tips for Anil so that he can improve his Lifestyle .write five healthy habits you follow to improve your health.
Ans:
 1] take proper balanced diet ,avoid eating fast food
2] minimise t v watching ,keep physically active in order to burn extra calories
3]regular exercise
4]practise yoga ,have a positive social communication.
5] keep personal hygiene, have a proper sleeping pattern
Health  tips to follow
1]drink lot of water
2]eat fruits and veggies
3]avoid tea, coffee etc
4]practise yoga
5]avoid junk food
Task 3
Anil’s friend suggested that he should jog and swim regularly to burn excess Calories .Anil  started swimming for 180 minutes and Jogging for 120 minutes a week and lost 2400 calories. in the next week he lost 3200 calories by swimming for 2 hours and jogging for 4 hours .represent above statement in form of linear equation and solve algebraically  to find calories burnt in swimming in an hour and jogging in an hour.
Let calories burnt by swimming an hour be x and jogging be y
1st week
Swimming =180 min =>3 hours
Jogging = 120 min =>2 hrs
3x+ 2y=2400 =>{1}
2nd week
Swimming= 2hrs
Jogging= 4hrs
2x + 4y=3200 =>{2}
By elimination
    3x+2y=2400
   2x+4y=3200{/2}
   X+2y=1600{3}
ð  3x+2y=2400
[-]   x+2y=1600
           ___________________
           2x=800
             x=400
Substitute in [3]
400+2y=1600
2y=1200
   y=600
Therefore swimming burns 400 calories and jogging burns 600 calories in an hour.
