Basic 6 Science Term 1 Week 3 Lesson Plan

Paste a Chart of pictures showing Objects made from metals for learners to observe Have learners to talk about the chart. Learners identify the names of the items on the chart Paste a Chart of pictures showing Objects made from metals for learners to observe Learners identify the names of the items on the chart

Learners, in groups, gather different objects such as ruler, erasers, exercise books, comb, plastic bowls, connecting wires, cups, plates, cooking pans, roofing sheets, iron nails, pins, etc. Let learners classify the various materials as metals or non- metals based on the following properties: luster, malleability, conductivity and ductility. Guide them to give reasons for their classification. Relate the lesson to everyday activities that involve the use of metals Given a piece of aluminum foil and a drinking straw, learners describe how they will use conductivity to classify them as metals or non-metals. Assessment: Provide materials for learners. In groups Learners design and make simple machines with metals For this activity, learners use aluminium cooking pot, steel spoon and copper wire to handle and compare familiar metal objects and link each observed property to a local use.

What have we leant today? Properties of metals Have learners summarize the important points of the lesson Learners to state some uses of metals. Learners to identify items in the school and home that are made from metals
