PHYSICS PRACTICALS – CLASS XI FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS

Guidelines for Practical Question Paper 1. There will be a MCQ based examination in lieu of the conventional Practical examination, for the visually impaired students. 2. The MCQ's will be based on the basic practical aspects and the simple theory of only the ten practicals 4. The examination will be of 90 minutes duration which time will include the time for reading the question paper. 5. Candidates are not required to submit any record, or note book, at the time of this examination. 6. The MCQ's would be designed in broad accordance with the following considerations : (i) The MCQ's will check the student's familiarity, and basic understanding, of the construction, working and simple theory of the instruments/devices relevant to the experiments listed in the syllabus. (ii) The MCQs' would require the students to do only such quantitative calculations that can be done (almost) orally. (iii) The MCQ's based on, or related to, graphs would have the relevant data/details in such a form that makes it easy/straight forward to interpret the nature of the graph or to do the relevant calculations. (iv) The MCQ's can also be based on some familiar daily life situations/devices. These would be related with the basic construction/theory of the instruments/devices used in the listed experiments. (v) All the MCQ's would have four choices only ONE of which would be the correct/best choice. 7. Teachers will explain the basic details of the listed experiments to the students and help them develop the feeling of observation and interpretation through the 'other basic senses'. 8. All the MCQ's, and the 'Viva' by the teachers, would be student friendly and in accordance with the special needs of these students. Design & Blue Print TIME : 90 minutes M.M. 25 A. The 'Weightage', to the ten experiments, listed in the syllabus, would be as follows : Experiment No. 1 and 2 3 or 4 questions 3/4 marks Experiment No. 3 and 4 4 or 3 questions 4/3 marks (The total number of questions, from the first 4 experiments would be 7, carrying a total of 7 marks) Experiment No. 5 3 questions 3 marks Experiment No. 6 3 questions 3 marks Experiment No. 7 3 questions 3 marks Experiment No. 8 3 questions 3 marks Experiment No. 9 3 questions 3 marks Experiment No. 10 3 questions 3 marks Total : 25 questions 25 marks B. The 'broad distribution' of the nature of MCQ's would be approximately as follows : (This distribution is only suggestive in nature) (i) Construction/Apparatus Related : 4 questions 4 marks (ii) Working/Procedure Related : 5 questions 5 marks (iii) (Simple) theory related : 5 questions 5 marks (iv) (Simple) quantitative/calculation related : 5 questions 5 marks (v) Graph related/graph based : 3 questions 3 marks (vi) Daily-life related/concept based : 3 questions 3 marks Total : 25 questions 25 mars C. All the MCQ's would have four choices only ONE of which would be the correct/best choice. The students would be required to identify this correct/best choice. D. All MCQ's would be of 1 mark each.
