Basic 1 Science Term 1 Week 4 Lesson Plan

Review learners understanding in the previous lesson using questions and answers Engage learners to play games and sing songs to begin the lesson.

Let learners observe pictures of living and non- living things or go on an observational trip around the school community to observe living and non- living things. Learners mention the names of the specific living things and non-living things observed. Describe the differences between living and non- living things using think –pair share (focus on differences in movement, growth, feeding, reproduction). Give reasons for grouping things into living and non-living. Learners reflect on what they have learnt about living and non- living things and answer questions like: What are examples of living things? What are examples of non- living things? In what ways are living things different from non-living things? Come out with differences between non- living things and things that are dead. For this activity, learners use local leaves and twigs, stones and printed photographs of goats and mango trees to observe and sort familiar living and non-living things or identify their life processes.

Ask learners series of questions to review their understanding of the lesson Ask learners to summarize what they have learnt Ask learners to tell you what they have learnt Give learners individual or home task
