| Indicator (code): B5.1.1.1.1 know the life processes of living, things (growth, sensitivity to the, environment, respiration and excretion) | Content Std (code): B5.1.1.1 Understand the physical features, and life processes of living things and use, this understanding to classify them |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can know the life processes of living things, (growth, sensitivity to the environment, respiration, and excretion) | Core Competencies: Problem Solving skills; Critical Thinking; Justification of Ideas;, Collaborative Learning; |
| T.L.R.(s): local leaves and twigs, stones, printed photographs of goats and mango trees | Keywords: Living, Respiration, Things |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Have learners watch a documentary on the life processes of some animals Display word cards o the teachers table in front of the class Put students into groups of three 3 and number them 1- 3. Put three number statements up to the white board and ask students to explain the corresponding statements to their group. The group who explains well wins | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Learners go outside the classroom to observe and identify various living and non-living things and discuss their observation.
Engage learners to watch pictures or animated videos of different living things (e.g. birds, insects, trees, reptiles, mammals, etc.) and comment on them.
Ask learners to identify the names of the living things from the video
Use relevant examples and illustrations to demonstrate or explain sensitivity, respiration and excretion as life processes.
Learners go on a nature walk to observe sensitivity in the mimosa plant when touched
Assist learners to understand growth by observing a seedling and a mature plant of the same kind.
Let learners breathe air in and out to demonstrate respiration
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. | Phase 3plenary / reflections What have we learnt today? classify animals into insects, birds , mammals and reptiles Have learners to summarize the important points of the lesson Give learners task to draw some insects, birds and color them Have learners to summarize the important points of the lesson. |
