Module 6.3: Specific Subject Tool – Science (OLABS)

Module: 6.3.1 Time: 30 minutes

4. 3.1: CASE STUDY:

Today, in class 9, Garima understood the theoretical aspect related to plant and animal tissues,
but she was very restless due to lack of adequate equipment in the laboratory for the experimental
side.

When the subject teacher explained the experiment to the children in the class through this virtual
app, the atmosphere of the class became blissful.

6.3.2: What is OLabs?

The online (virtual) laboratories known as OLabs replicate actual laboratory experiments. Through
the use of cutting-edge technology, these virtual labs imitate the real world digitally, giving
students the opportunity to conduct experiments in a secure setting. Through the use of the
Internet, they give students a more effective and economical means of more efficiently and
economically exploring scientific topics and doing experiments without requiring actual laboratory
equipment. This closes the digital gap and overcomes regional barriers to help them compete with
children in schools with superior resources. The time limits experienced when only having short-
term access to the physical lab are eliminated by the experiments' accessibility from anywhere at
any time.

Modern simulation technology is used in the labs to replicate real-world lab conditions. Research
staff conduct in-depth analysis and investigation to have a deeper comprehension of the
experimental protocols. In order to absorb knowledge about the methods and lab equipment, real-
world laboratory events are captured through a live demonstration of the experiment. The
development and visualization of the graphical symbols are based on real-world scenarios and
are contrasted with the corresponding physical equipment.

Objectives:

After this module learners will be able to-

● Learners will enhance their practical laboratory skills by conducting virtual experiments
● Learners will develop proficiency in using digital tools and technology for performing
experiments.

6.3.3: How does the OLabs work?

OLabs combine technology resources, automation, along with necessary concepts. They are
richly featured platforms and are meant to provide a compelling and personalized experience for
learners, one that goes beyond just looking at content or interacting with simulations. They enable
hands-on training whenever and wherever it’s needed. OLabs work by using advanced software
and hardware to simulate real-world laboratory experiments. The software is designed to
accurately replicate the conditions of a physical experiment, including factors such as
temperature, pressure, and chemical reactions. this seen like real work.

Every Students can access OLabs through any web browser, where they can perform
experiments and record their results. Students can manipulate variables, take measurements and
observe the outcomes of their experiments in real-time. This allows them to learn and explore
scientific concepts in a safe and controlled environment, without the risk of injury or damage to
laboratory equipments.

6.3.4: Benefits of OLabs

OLabs offer a number of advantages over traditional laboratory experiments. Here are some of
the key benefits:

Safety: Since this app are conducted virtually, there is no risk of injury or damage to laboratory
equipment. This makes them a safer alternative to physical laboratory experiments, especially for
younger students.
Cost-effective: Traditional laboratory experiments can be expensive, requiring specialized
equipment and materials. OLabs, on the other hand, can be accessed for a fraction of the cost,
making them a more cost-effective option for schools and educators.
Accessibility: OLabs can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, making them
more accessible to students who may not have access to a physical laboratory or specialized
equipment.

Flexibility: With OLabs, students can conduct experiments at their own pace and on their own
schedule, providing greater flexibility in the learning process.
Enhanced Learning: OLabs offer interactive simulations and visual representations of scientific
concepts, making them a more engaging and effective learning tool for students.
Environmental Impact: OLabs have a lower environmental impact than traditional laboratory
experiments, as they do not require as many physical resources or generate as much waste.

6.3.5: Using OLabs in the Classroom

To effectively use O-Labs in the classroom, educators should start by introducing their students
to the platform and providing them with a clear understanding of how it works. It is important to
ensure that students have access to the necessary technology and equipment to use the platform
effectively.

Once students have been introduced to the platform, educators are providing them with clear
objectives and guidelines for each experiment or activity. This will help students stay focused and
engaged throughout the process. Educators are also encouraging students to work collaboratively
in groups to conduct experiments and share their findings. This is promoting teamwork and help
students develop important communication and problem-solving skills.

Finally, educators are use O-Labs as a supplement to traditional laboratory experiences. While
online laboratories can provide valuable opportunities for students to explore scientific concepts
in a safe and controlled environment, they should not replace hands-on experiences in a physical
laboratory.

Module 6.4: Specific Subject Tool – Social Science (Bhuvan)

6.4.1: Introduction

Introduction

Bhuvan is a Jio portal application developed by ISRO. Through this, the terrain of the earth can
be seen on the internet in the form of three-dimensional images. In this, terrains can be seen
from different heights. Through this, social science, geography and other humanities subjects
can be made interesting and the teaching-learning process can be made interesting and
effective.

With the help of this, one can study maps, know about latitude and longitude lines and find the
height of that place from sea level. Through this, you can understand the different features of
landforms, mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc. by looking at them in three dimensional
form and study the drainage systems of India.

Aims:-

1. Bhuvan will study the three-dimensional shapes of the earth through application.

2. Bhuvan finds latitude and longitude using application.

3. Bhuvan finds the height of a place by using application.

4. Find the distance between two places.

bhuvan 2D, Bhuvan 3D, Bhuvan Lite etc. are visible. Through the Bhuvan app, you can see

the condition of continents and oceans through the rotation and rotation motion of the earth.

We will first open Bhuvan 3D and find a place.

Step 3. Enter the location by typing the location you are searching in the search bar on the left
or through voice typing. For example, here we put the name of a place in front of you, like
after typing Munsiyari, as soon as you click on the search button, Bhuvan application will
zoom in front of you. You will see many places related to the location you have typed. We will
click on one of the places Post Office Munsiyari.

Step 4. The latitude of any place, longitude and height . To find the altitude, first of all, go to
the tools in the right corner and after that you will see the option of info at the end. We will
click in the option of Info and after that we will have a pop up highlight in front of us and the
latitude of the place we need to know ; Latitude, longitude ; We want to know longitude etc.,
we will touch that place, as soon as you touch that place, you understand that place, you will
see the latitude, longitude and height of that place. As soon as we touch Munsiyari, the above
three information of that place will start displaying in the pop up. Similarly, we can get
information by touching any place.

Step 5. Along with this, through Bhuvan app we can find the distance between two places.
For this, first of all, we have to go to the tool bar and after that you are seeing the option of
Major Distance here. If we click in it, a pop up will open in front of us. First of all, you have to
find the distance between the two places, you will click on the first place, you will click on the
second place, then as soon as you click, a green color line will appear here and also in the
major option of your popup, you will see the distance between those two places. Along with
this, options like major area, terrain profile etc. are also available in the tool bar.

Step 6. Another important feature of Bhuvan app is Layer; As you click in it, the option of

administrative boundary will appear in it and as soon as you tick it, you will see the boundaries

of the country, state and districts clearly and their names will also be displayed and as soon

as you click again in the same layers and remove this option, then a physical map will be

displayed in front of you in which the landforms will be clearly visible, in which mountains,

plateaus and plains, different mountain ranges of Himalayas etc.

Step 7. Similarly, in the layers, you see another option below – Rivers. Through this,

information about the origin of rivers of India, drainage basins etc. is also obtained.

Similarly, you will also see other options in the layers, which you can use as needed.
