Celebrating Mole Day: Uniting Chemistry Enthusiasts at KUCTE

-
"Science is the international language, and chemistry is its vocabulary." 
On November 5, 2024, the Physical Science Association, Aurora, of KUCTE Thevally, enthusiastically celebrated Mole Day, commemorating Avogadro's Number (6.022 x 10^23). This event brought together students, faculty, and staff to honor the significance of chemistry in our daily lives.

The celebration kicked off with a painting competition where students showcased their artistic skills by creating vibrant paintings representing molecular structures, chemical reactions, and the importance of chemistry in everyday life.  To further emphasize the significance of Mole Day, a thought-provoking speech highlighted the importance of Avogadro's Number, its applications, and the impact of chemistry on modern society.This was followed by a puzzle competition that challenged participants to solve brain-teasing puzzles related to chemistry concepts, testing their knowledge and problem-solving skills. English optional was the winner for painting competition whereas natural science optional banked the first prize in puzzle competition and second in painting competition.

The objective of the celebration was to inspire students to explore the fascinating world of chemistry, foster critical thinking, and encourage scientific curiosity. Through these engaging activities, Aurora aimed to create an interactive platform for students to delve into the world of chemistry beyond textbooks.

Mole Day at KUCTE was a resounding success, thanks to the collective efforts of Aurora members, participants, and faculty. We look forward to future events that promote scientific awareness and enthusiasm.

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism." - Colin Powell I started my 40-day B.Ed teaching practice internship at Government Model Girls High School, Kollam, in Thevally. This first week was a blend of learning, challenges, and excitement as I navigated through teaching practices, interactions with students, and adapting to the school environment. Day 1 - 14/07/25 - Monday It was a mix of excitement and nerves as I took a 5E model class on "Atoms" for 8B students in Chemistry. I used simple analogies and experiments to convey the concept, and the pupils were highly interactive as I encouraged their participation. I felt a sense of accomplishment completing the lesson plan despite struggling a bit with using the whiteboard (not being used to it before). A bit disappointed I couldn't ask review questions at the end due to poor time management, but I did ask continuous questions throughout to reinforce the concept. We also participated in ...

“Examinations not only test knowledge, but also patience, responsibility, and teamwork.” The sixth week of my teaching practice, from 18th August to 22nd August 2025, marked a change of pace as the Onam examinations began at school. The vibrant classroom atmosphere was replaced by a quieter, more focused environment. Instead of regular teaching, our responsibilities shifted to assisting with examination duties, distributing question papers, and ensuring smooth conduct of exams. This week gave me a new perspective on the administrative and organizational side of school life, beyond teaching and learning . Day 25 - 18/08/2025 - Monday The first day of Onam examinations began with much anticipation. I was assigned examination duty in Room 8A. The day started early as we helped in preparing the room, ensuring seating arrangements, and distributing question papers and answer sheets. The atmosphere was calm but slightly tense as students appeared serious and focused. I carefully observed how...
