Basic 3 Science Term 1 Week 3 Lesson Plan

Engage learners to sing some action songs SHOW ME Show me your head oo, This is my head oo. Show me your eyes oo, This is my eyes oo. Etc. Get a viral picture, a trending news on twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media handles. Discuss what is trending and invite learners to share their opinions on them

Show learners pictures and videos of common materials e.g. wood, plastics, paper, metals, leather, cotton, etc. Learners collect everyday materials in their environment e.g. wood, plastics, paper, metals, leather, cotton, etc. and bring them to class. Learners use think-pair-share to discuss the uses of the materials collected. Brainstorm with learners to come out with the uses of the materials in relation to their properties, e.g. metals are used for making car bodies because they are hard, plastics are used for making bottles, buckets, bowls because they can be moulded into different shapes Engage learners in an activity to match some products such as buckets, cups, books, tables with their material sources such as metals, clay, glass, wood, plastics. Provide a lot of materials for the learners to do more activities. For this activity, learners use wood offcut, metal spoon and clear plastic bottle to handle and sort the familiar materials by their observed properties and uses.

Ask learners questions to review their understanding of the lesson. Have learners write 3 facts of the lesson on a sheet of paper and it in their pockets and learn it on their way home. Divide the class into two teams. One player serves a question and choses a player in the other group to answer.
