| Indicator (code): B4.2.1.1.1 Demonstrate understanding of cyclic, movements in the environment | Content Std (code): B4.2.1.1 Recognize that some events in, our environment occur recurrently |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can demonstrate understanding of cyclic, movements in the environment | Core Competencies: Problem Solving skills; Critical Thinking; Justification of Ideas; |
| T.L.R.(s): string-and-stone pendulum, analogue clock, printed maize life-cycle cards | Keywords: Earth, Cycles, Movements |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Invite learners to tell stories of their mistakes they have committed in the past. Encourage learners to come up with how best they could do to prevent such mistakes and/ or solve them.
Get a viral picture, a trending news on twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media handles.

Learners then watch the second hand of an analogue clock and identify the movement that repeats at regular intervals.
Groups arrange printed maize life-cycle cards from seed through germination, mature plant and seed production. They explain how the sequence begins again when a new seed grows.
Learners compare the short repeated motions of the pendulum and clock with the longer biological cycle shown on the maize cards and report one feature common to all cycles. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Ask questions to review learners understanding of the lesson Learners to tell what was interesting about the lesson.
