This course introduces active learning approaches designed for NBSE Grade 11–12 Chemistry classrooms. Moving beyond traditional lecture-based teaching, it reframes the classroom as a space where students predict, observe, reason, and discuss — becoming active participants in their own learning rather than passive recipients of information.
Through this module, teachers will explore practical, adaptable strategies that bring Chemistry concepts to life, foster deeper understanding, and build scientific thinking skills among senior secondary learners.
This course is designed to empower higher secondary Chemistry teachers to move beyond rote learning toward active, inquiry-based and student-centred teaching.
It emphasises experiential learning, conceptual understanding, and creativity, even in low-resource or large classrooms.
It will help teachers make Chemistry more visual, engaging, and connected to students’ everyday experiences through active learning and hands-on strategies, making the subject enjoyable to learn.
It will integrate readings on teaching strategies, practical implementation with topic-specific examples, reflective prompts, and quizzes to strengthen competency-based teaching.
It will include activities designed to integrate ICT and implement inclusive strategies.
It will help teachers to see themselves as facilitators and designers of learning, fostering curiosity, collaboration, and deeper scientific thinking in students.
