LESSON - 1🔗

Introduction: Introduce to the children about the topic of Matter and Energy.

Goals: To make the child understand about Matter, Energy and Quantum world.

Click: We want instant results in everything

About the topic: Our five senses of Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste and Touch are our gate way to perceiving this world. This world is made up of matter or objects in various forms, shapes, colors and qualities. We see ourselves living in a three dimensional world fundamentally made up of five basic elements – earth, water, fire, air and space. We see all the objects in this world undergoing change with time. They all undergo creation, sustenance and dissolution with the passage of time. Classical physics tells us that matter is governed by the Physics like the three laws of Physics, like the three laws of motion, the law of gravity, the laws of fluid dynamics and so on.

All objects are considered to be made up of molecule, which are made up of atoms, which in are made of three types of particles, protons, neutrons, electrons. Today we are in the age of quantum world. We talk of quantum physics, quantum leaps and quantum thinking. Quantum simply means a jump from one state to another state without going through any of the intermediate states. We want instant results in everything. We want quantum results.

Evaluation: Evaluate their knowledge on the topic by asking them multiple questions.

Conclusion: Today no one has the time to go through intermediate states. We want instant results in everything.

Art of the day: Five elements drawing

Explanation: Ask children what are the five elements of nature. Encourage the child to express the five elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space in a pictorial form.

Inference: We see ourselves living in a three dimensional world fundamentally made up of five basic elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Everything undergoes change.

Activity of the day: PASSING THE OBJECT

Explanation: Explain to the children the game. All children must sit in a circular form and one child will be given a parcel, child has to pass the parcel by taking the parcel behind and giving to the other child from the front. The children has to listen to music or clap sound and pass the parcel, whoever having the parcel, when the music stops will be out of the game.

Variation: The variation of this game is there may be two or three parcels that can be passed in the similar way.

Inference: This activity involves lots of co-ordination and alertness.

LESSON - 2

Introduction:- Reiterate the day before topic and introduce to the children about the world of infinite possibilities.

Goals:- To make the children understand about the matter is vibrating energy. Click:- our world is a place where all the possibilities exists as seed.

About the topic: Matter is actually energy vibrating at various frequencies and manifesting itself in various forms. We are not able to see this vibration with the eyes because the frequency of vibration are too high. It is just as when movement is too fast, the eye cannot perceive the moving objects as independent frames. The eyes see the objects merging into each other continuously. In the same way, the vibration of energy cannot be perceived by the eye. It appears to be solid matter. Energy in gross form is matter. Matter in subtle form is energy.

The body is the gross manifestation of the subtle mind. The mind is the subtle manifestation of the gross body. Perception of the world varies from person to person because the functioning of the mind varies from person to person. Question about reality leads us to a world beyond matter and energy, beyond the limitations of space and time. This is the world where all the possibilities exists as seed. It is the essence and origin of events in the material world. It this world- beyond, ordinary logic does not exist. Cause and effect relationships do not exist. The happening of one event does not cause another event to happen, but it is correlated with the other event that happens.. This co-relation has no dependence on space and time. So what we call the seed is the ocean of infinite possibilities from which the waves of events arise.

This whole existence and all its events happen as causeless auspiciousness, waves arising in an ocean. Existence is an ocean of bliss and ecstasy.

Interpretation : What is matter? Can we perceive the vibration of energy? The body is a gross manifestation of what? Is the perception of the world same for all Which is subtle manifestation of gross body? How will be world beyond look like? Cause and effect relationship can exist in the world beyond?

Evaluation: Evaluate how will they understood the topic by using multiple questions.

Conclusion:- This whole existence and all its events happen as causeless auspiciousness.

Art of the day: TEXTURE PAINTING

Materials Needed:

Explanation: Explain to the children to apply glue on the paper or any art sheet and then sprinkle the sand and leave it to dry. Now ask the children to color the paper with different colors. After drying children can feel the texture change of the sand on the picture.

Inference: Perception of the world various from person to person, time to time.

Activity of the day: CUP GAME

Explanation: Children are asked and sit in front of a long table in the chair or they can sit down around a table, encourage each child to keep a cup in front of table. Each child must keep on passing the cup to the other person. They have to pass cup very fast.

Variation: They have to invert the cup and then pass the cup.

Inference: This activity enables them to be in moment and focus with attention.

Workshop 1 - How you are happy with yourself

Explanation: Encourage the children to tell how many times they are happy with themselves. What all things made them happy. At what all occasions they are determined to keep themselves happy. Ask them where all they have been selfish in being happy with themselves.

Inference: Happiness is the key for success. When we are happy we will be positive and open minded. When we make sure we are happy and fulfilled in our inner space, we will definitely make others also happy. Life is a gift. Life is the greatest gift, happiness is the greatest achievement.
