METHODOLOGY FOR USING THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD IN NATURAL SCIENCE AND PHYSICS LESSONS IN GRADES 5-7

This article indicates the significance and methodology of using interactive whiteboards in teaching Nature" and "Physics" subjects for grades 5-7. It also provides information about interactive educational software, including "ActivInspire," "MimioStudio," and "Teach Infinity Pro." Lesson examples are given using the “Teach Infinity Pro” software for grades 5-7. In these examples, 3D tools were utilized in 5th-grade students’ “Nature” subject for "Measurable Properties of Matter: Volume and its Measurement". During such an interactive lesson, students measure and compare the volumes of various objects on 3D geometric figures.

In addition, for the 6th-grade “Nature” topic of "Gravitational Force,” students solved a problem using a model from a motion simulation created with the “ALGADOO” program on the interactive whiteboard. The program’s on-screen calculator helped students save time during problem-solving. In 7th grade physics, for the topic “Uniform Circular Motion,” a circle of any desired radius was drawn on the board using the program's “compass” tool, and the problem was solved on the model. As a result, students determined that in such motion, with a constant radius, linear velocity is inversely proportional to the rotation period.
