Component 1
Life Cycles Of Organisms
Topic: Describe the life cycle of the housefly
| Strand: Cycles | Sub-strand: Life Cycles Of Organisms |
| Indicator: B7.2.2.1.1 Describe the life cycle of the housefly | Content Standard: B7.2.2.1 Demonstrate the skills of carrying out activities to show the stages of the life cycle of a housefly, the effects of its activities on humans and how to reduce them |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can describe the life cycle of the housefly | T.L.R.(s): Sealed housefly specimen, Printed housefly life-cycle diagram, Printed housefly-stage cards |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Using questions and answers, find out what learners already know about houseflies. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Sealed housefly specimen; Printed housefly life-cycle diagram; Covered food container. Learners observe and safely handle the specimens or apparatus, using them in the investigation or model below.
Guide learners to Identify and describe the stages of the life cycle of the housefly.
Show the order of the stages of the life cycle of the housefly e.g. eggs → larva → pupa → adult.
Arrange flashcards or the cut-outs to illustrate the stages.
Learners to draw each stage of the life cycle of the housefly and use arrows to link the stages to make the cycle complete.
Use the diagram to describe the life cycle of the housefly. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson. |

Life Cycles Of Organisms
Topic: Describe the life cycle of the housefly
| Strand: Cycles | Sub-strand: Life Cycles Of Organisms |
| Indicator: B7.2.2.1.1 Describe the life cycle of the housefly | Content Standard: B7.2.2.1 Demonstrate the skills of carrying out activities to show the stages of the life cycle of a housefly, the effects of its activities on humans and how to reduce them |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can describe the life cycle of the housefly | T.L.R.(s): Sealed housefly specimen, Printed housefly life-cycle diagram, Printed housefly-stage cards |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Learners observe the adult form through the Sealed housefly specimen without opening it. Groups arrange the Printed housefly-stage cards as egg, larva, pupa and adult and check their order against the Printed housefly life-cycle diagram. They describe the changes at each stage and draw arrows to show the repeated cycle. Assessment asks learners to draw and explain the housefly life cycle; it does not substitute a mosquito life cycle. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson. |
Component 3
Life Cycles Of Organisms
Topic: Describe the life cycle of the housefly
| Strand: Cycles | Sub-strand: Life Cycles Of Organisms |
| Indicator: B7.2.2.1.1 Describe the life cycle of the housefly | Content Standard: B7.2.2.1 Demonstrate the skills of carrying out activities to show the stages of the life cycle of a housefly, the effects of its activities on humans and how to reduce them |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can discuss the developmental stages of the housefly through an experiment | T.L.R.(s): Sealed housefly specimen, Printed housefly life-cycle diagram, Printed housefly-stage cards |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Using questions and answers, review learners understanding in the previous lesson. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Learners observe the adult form through the Sealed housefly specimen without opening it. Groups arrange the Printed housefly-stage cards as egg, larva, pupa and adult and check their order against the Printed housefly life-cycle diagram. They describe the changes at each stage and draw arrows to show the repeated cycle. Assessment asks learners to draw and explain the housefly life cycle; it does not substitute a mosquito life cycle. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Ask learners how the lesson will benefit them in their daily lives. |
