INTERNAL ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICAL WORK

Candidates will be asked to carry out experiments for which instructions will be given. The experiments may be based on topics that are not included in the syllabus, but theoretical knowledge will not be required. A candidate will be expected to be able to follow simple instructions, to take suitable readings and to present these readings in a systematic form. He/she may be required to exhibit his/her data graphically. Candidates will be expected to appreciate and use the concepts of least count, significant figures and elementary error handling.

Note: Teachers may design their own set of experiments, preferably related to the theory syllabus. A comprehensive list is suggested below.

1. Lever - There are many possibilities with a meter rule as a lever with a load (known or unknown) suspended from a point near one end (say left), the lever itself  pivoted on a knife edge, use slotted weights suspended from the other (right) side for effort.

Determine the mass of a metre rule using a spring balance or by balancing it on a knife edge at some point away from the middle and a 50g weight on the other side. Next pivot (F) the metre rule a tthe 40cm, 50 cm and 60 cm mark, each time suspending a load L or the left end and effort E near the right end. Adjust E and or its position so that the rule is  balanced. Tabulate the position of L, Fand E and the magnitudes of L and E and the distances of load arm and effort arm. Calculate MA = L/E and VR = effort arm/loadarm. It will be found that MA less than VR in one case, MA = VR in another and MA greater than VR in the third case. Try to explain why this is so. Also try to calculate the real load and real effort in these cases.

2. Determine the VR and MA of agiven pulley system

3. Trace the course of different rays of light refracting through a rectangular glass slab at different angles of incidence,measure the angles of incidence, refraction and emergence. Also measure the lateral displacement.

4. Determine the focal length of a convex lens by (a) the distant object method and (b) using a needle and a plane mirror.

5. Determine the focal length of a convex lens by using two pins and formula f = uv/(u+v).

6. For a triangular prism, trace the course of rays passing through it, measure angles i₁, i₂, A and Delta. Repeat for four different angles of incidence (say i₁ = 40⁰, 50⁰, 60⁰ and 70⁰). Verify i₁ + i₂ = A + Delta and A = r₁ + r₂

7. For a ray of light incident normally (i₁ = 0) on one face of a prism, trace course of the ray. Measure the angle Delta. Explain briefly. Do this for prisms with A = 60⁰, 45⁰and 90⁰.

8. Calculate the sp.heat of the material of the given calorimeter, from the temperature readings and masses of cold water, warm water and its mixture taken in the calorimeter.

9. Determination of sp. heat of a metal by method of mixtures.

Note: Teachers may feel free to alter or add to the above list. The students may perform about 3 to 5 experiments.

EVALUATION

The practical work/project work are to be evaluated by the subject teacher and by an External Examiner. (The External Examiner may be a teacher nominated by the Head of the school, who could be from the faculty, but not teaching the subject in the relevant section/class. For example, a teacher of Physics of Class VIII may be deputed to be an External Examiner for Class X, Physics projects.)

The Internal Examiner and the External Examiner will assess the practical work/project work independently.

Award of marks (20 Marks)

Subject Teacher (Internal Examiner) 10 marks

External Examiner  10 marks

The total marks obtained out of 20 are to be sent to the Council by the Head of the school. 

The Head of the school will be responsible for the online entry of marks on the Council’s CAREERS portal by the due date.
