Let us do the following activity to understand the mendelian principles of heredity. Materaials required: a. 3cm length and 1 cm breadth chart pieces -4 b. 2 cm length and 1 cm breadth chart pieces -4 c. Red byuttons -4 d. white buttons -4 e. chart, scale, sketch pen penil, 2 bags. Method: Prepare a chart with 2x2 boxes along with numbe and symbol as shown in the figure. Game 1: Monohybrid cross (starting with hybrid parents) To start with take 1,2 or 3,4 . In case you start 1,2 pik all the 16 log and short pieces and prepare such paris in each of which you have a long and short piece. Take 4 pairs each of long and short strips and put them in two separate bags. Now each bag contains 8 strips (4 long and 4short). One bag say 'A' represents mael and the bag 'B' represents female . Now rendomly pick one strip each from bag A and B and put them together in the 1 on the chart. Keep picking out the strips and arrange them in the same manner till your bags are empty. Same time your boxes in the chart are filled with paris of strips. you might have got the following combinations, two long strips, one long and one short strip, two short strips. (Q) B. What is the number of one long and one short pairs?

Think of this puzzle What do you need to find a chosen number from this square? Four of the clues below are true but do nothing to help in finding the number. Four of the clues are necessary for finding it. Here are eight clues to use: a. The number is greater than 9. b. The number is not a multiple of 10. c. The number is a multiple of 7. d. The number is odd. e. The number is not a multiple of 11. f. The number is less than 200. g. Its ones digit is larger than its tens digit. h. Its tens digit is odd. What is the number? Can you sort out the four clues that help and the four clues that do not help in finding it? First follow the clues and strike off the number which comes out from it. Like - from the first clue we come to know that the number is not from 1 to 9. (strike off numbers from 1 to 9). After completing the puzzle, see which clue is important and which is not?

It is very commonly thought that the sciences and humanities are producing two cultures which are opposed to each other. Science is even accused of not being sympathetic to the well-being of society. All this is due to the debatable use made by some scientists of their discoveries. However, science has now become increasingly aware of its responsibility towards society. Consequently, many scientists are of the opinion that science should be defined in humanistic terms. According, I.I. Rabi defines science as follows : "Science is an adventure of the whole human race to learn to live in and perhaps to love the universe in which they are. To be a part of it is to understand it, to understand oneself, to begin to feel that there is a capacity within man far beyond that he felt he had, of an infinite extension of human possibilities - not just on the material side..." Rabi proposes that science be taught “with a certain historical understanding, with a certain philosophical understanding, with a social understanding and a human understanding". At the moment, we are dealing with physics and one might well ask if we can define physics also in humanistic terms. Gerald Halton provides us with a relevant definition of physics. According to him : "Physics is a sequence of related ideas whose pursuit provides one with the cumulative effect of an even higher vantage point and a more encompassing view of the working of nature. Physics is neither an isolated bloodless body of facts and theories with mere vocational usefulness, nor a glorious entertainment restricted to an elite of specalists. Rather students of physics may leave them unprepared for their own time. They can be neither participants nor even intelligent spectators in one of the great adventures”. It will be no exaggeration if we say that the fate of society is linked to physics as whatever is thought or discovered in physics immediately affects the society. Our intellegence lies in applying physics to solve the pressing problems that the society faces and not to annihilate it. According to I.I Rabi
