  Attitude Of Secondary School Students Towards Artificial Intelligence Integration In Science Classrooms Akshay P M   Abstract The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced contemporary educational practices, particularly in science classrooms where adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring tools, and virtual laboratories are increasingly employed. The present study examines the attitude of secondary school students towards AI integration in science classes. A descriptive survey method was adopted, and data were collected from 63 Class VIII students following the Kerala State syllabus using a self-constructed Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 22 statements. The tool measured four dimensions: awareness and knowledge of AI, interest and engagement in learning science, perceived learning support and effectiveness, and readiness and future orientation towards AI use. Percentage analysis revealed that 98% of students exhibited a po...
Reflection on My Experience as a Physical Science Teacher During Internship   My internship experience as a Physical Science teacher was one of the most valuable and transformative phases of my B.Ed programme. It provided me with real classroom exposure and helped me understand the true responsibilities of a teacher beyond textbooks and theory.   During the internship, I taught topics related to Physics and Chemistry to secondary school students. Initially, I felt nervous about managing the class and delivering the content effectively. However, as the days progressed, I gained confidence in explaining concepts, especially while teaching topics such as chemical reactions, periodic classification, and basic laws of motion. I realized that proper lesson planning played a crucial role in conducting smooth and effective classes.   One of the most important lessons I learned was the importance of student engagement. Students showed more interest when I used simple examples from...

  Structure Elucidation of Phenylephrine and Ephedrine PHENYLEPHRINE The most stable conformation was obtained by Vconf software. The number of conformations of phenylephrine are 45. The lowest energy conformation with energy 12.8 and the number of conformations and lowest energy conformations of ephedrine are 19 and 13.78 respectively. It is optimized using Gaussian software. This section will explain the chemical composition of Phenylephrine and Ephedrine. EPHEDRINE Phenylephrine has a molecular formula of C 9 H 13 NO 2  and its structure consists of a phenethylamine core with a substituted hydroxyl group. The molecule contains several types of bonds including carbon-carbon (C-C), carbon-hydrogen (C-H), carbon-oxygen (C=O), and carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bonds. The geometry around the carbon atoms is primarily tetrahedral, with the substituents determining the specific spatial arrangement around each carbon atom. Phenylephrine consists of 25 atoms,90 electrons with two ...
