 APSACS Online Support Program
Class: 8 Week 14+2 Days
Guidelines for Parents:

1. Second round of Online Support Program (OSP) week 9-14+2 days has been
uploaded to facilitate students as the opening of schools cannot be predicted
in near future.
2. For effective implementation of OSP, the comprehensive guidelines/
instructions, uploaded for parents must be read & understood.
3. Relevant course content uploaded on AIS Student Portal should be
downloaded, and studied offline as per convenience.
4. OSP are accompanied by lesson specific Video Tutorials prepared by
APSACS Resource Pool of subject specialists.
5. For further facilitations schools have made subject teachers available online
for specific guidance.
6. The weekly work assigned will be split over the week days according to the
timetable set by parents.
8. The OSP 9-14 weeks’ work is textbook specific and all subjects except Arts,
have been included. The assignments focus on reading, comprehension of
concepts, written work and projects research. It is expected that students
have bought textbooks by now.
9. Written work is to be done on loose sheets or notebooks with clear mention of
student’s name, class/section, subject/topic and date.
10. The completed assignments will be scanned and submitted on student’s
portal/ any medium given by the school for teachers’ checking. In case, online
submission of assignments is not possible, student will maintain the
completed work in a folder, using separators for weekly assignments to be
presented to teachers for checking/assessment purposes when the school
asks
11. It is mandatory for students to complete and submit all assignments. The
teachers will check and return soon that students may do their corrections
12. The videos/ research work suggested in the assignments should be strictly
monitored by parents. Students should not be left unattended while visiting
sites.
13. In OSP Wk 9-14 for each subject one project has been given. All projects will
be indicated at the beginning of OSP subject wise with detailed guidelines for
project work and format for its written presentation
14. The project/ research work will be assessed. It is important to ensure that the
project is the students own effort and that the student has enjoyed doing it
and learnt many things. The process of doing the project is more important
than the final finished product.

Subject: Chemistry
Chapter 3 Periodic Table and Periodicity of Properties
e-support Following videos will help the students in understanding the
concept. It is always advised that videos must be seen under
complete parental supervision.Please visit following links for video
tutorials

Reading: Students to read the given pages (47-50) before attempting the
Text Book written work
(pg 47-50) Students to read the topic “ s and p blocks in Periodic Table),
page 47. They will learn that :
s-block elements included the elements of group I-A and
group II-A of the periodic table
p – block elements include the elements of group II-A, IV-
A, V-A VI-A, VII-A & VIII-A of the periodic table.
s- block elements are all metals
p- block elements are mainly non-metals but they include
some metalloid and metals also.
The elements of “s” and “p” blocks elements are called
representative elements as their outer shells are not
completely filled with electrons.

Students to read page 48, and learn the main points about
Valance shell electronic configuration. They will come to
know that the outer shell of any atom is called the valence
shell.They will also learn that Valance Shell Electronic
Configuration is representation of electrons in that last shell.
Examples:
Na - Sodium 1s 22s22p63s 1.
Sodium has 1 valence electron from the 3s orbital.
P - Phosphorus 1s 22s22p63s 23p3.
Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons
(2 from the 3s and 3 from the 3p.)

Students to practice “Example 3.3 and 3.4”. They will learn to

identify groups and periods using valance shell configuration.

Class: 8 Week 14+2 Days

(Hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mLPC74GHMo.
Students to read “Shapes of the Periodic Table” from page
50. They will learn that elements are arranged in terms of
their increasing atomic number. They will also learn that
shells represent periods whereas number of valance
electrons represent Groups.

Written work: Following work to be done on loose sheets:

(Loose Sheets)
Self Assessment Exercise 3.4 (pg 50)
(Student to solve the questions keeping in mind the problem
solving strategy shared with them in solved sample questions.
Parents to guide them in selecting correct answer)

Students to draw and label the diagram on their loose sheet.

(Students to label Periods, Groups,names of groups,

representative elements, transition elements, first 18 elements, s
& p-block elements in the table)

Project: Design Your Own Periodic Table

(Design Your Objective: To create a “Periodic Table” which demonstrates how
Own Periodic objects we use everyday, toys, ice creams, foods we eat,
Table) vegetables and more, contain characteristics which allow us to
group them using different patterns.
Procedure:
Choose a topic that has characteristics that can be
categorized in at least two different ways. (Hint: dates, colors,
cost, company/brand , size or any physical or chemical
properties that can divide the subject into various groups and
periods. Be creative!!)
Organize the item vertically and horizontally to show a
pattern or relationship. Your periodic table must contain a
minimum of 20 elements, arranged in a minimum of 5 groups
and 4 periods.
APSACS Curriculum Planning & Development Department Page 10 of 14
 APSACS Online Support Program
Class: 8 Week 14+2 Days

You must have a title for your groups and periods.

Each “item” on your periodic table must include:
• Name
• Symbol (1 or 2 letters)
• Atomic Number (arrange the elements first then number them)
• Atomic Mass (some numeric characteristic of the element that
must increase as you go down and across the table i.e. size,
style, cost, etc)
Develop a key for your arrangement.
Title your periodic table at the top.
Record your work on Chart paper / Loose sheet / A-4 size papers
as per following format:
Week:MMMMMMMM Subject : MMMMMMMMM.

Date :MMMMMMMMMMM..

Project name: MMMMMMMMM

Title of your Periodic Table:MMMMMMMMMM.

Resources needed : MMMMMMMMMM.

Steps followed:

Step 1. MMMMMMMMMMMMM..

Step 2. MMMMMMMMMMMMM

Step 3MMMMMMMMMM . so on

Outcome/ findings/conclusion:

Who helped you in this project?

(write a thank You note for the person who helped you in making
your periodic table)

Topic/s 2.6 Equations of Motion
2.7 Motion of Freely Falling Bodies
Textbook Reading • Read “Equations of motion” given on pg. 44 which
explains that in case of uniform acceleration, there are
three equations of motion which are also known as the
laws of constant acceleration. Hence, these equations are
used to derive the components like displacement(s),
velocity (initial and final), time(t) and acceleration(a).
Therefore they can only be applied when acceleration is
constant and motion is a straight line.

• Read “First Equation of Motion” on pg. 45 as equation

no. 2.5, also pay critical attention derivation explained via
graph given in fig 2.26.

• Read “Second Equation of Motion” on pg. 45 as

equation no. 2.6, also pay critical attention derivation
explained via graph given in fig 2.26.

• Read “Third Equation of Motion” on pg. 46 as equation

no. 2.8, also pay critical attention derivation explained via
graph given in fig 2.26.

• Read, comprehend and reiterate examples 2.10, 2.11 and

2.12 on pgs. 46-47 which explain the use of these
equation in numerical problems. The use of these
equations is critical from exam perspective.
• Useful information on pg.47 highlights conversions of

units usually required in numerical problems.

• Read “Third Equation of Motion” on pg. 46 as equation
no. 2.8, also pay critical attention derivation explained via
graph given in fig 2.26.
• Read “Motion of Freely Falling Bodies” given on pg. 49
which explains that objects that are in motion due to
gravitational force produce an acceleration known as
gravitational acceleration. Also reiterate relative examples
2.14 and 2.16 given on pgs. 49 and 50 respectively.

Written Work • Reiterate examples 2.2 and 2.3 given on pg. 37.
