LESSON PLAN FOR BASIC 2 – BASIC SCIENCE
WEEK: One
CLASS: Basic Two
SUBJECT: Basic Science
TOPIC: Air
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:
- Define wind as air in motion
- Describe the effects of wind on the body
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL: Pieces of paper, gum, plastic bottles etc
REFERENCE MATERIAL: STAN Basic Science and technology
BUILDING A BACKGROUND: Pupils are familiar with air
CONTENT:
AIR
Air is all around us. We can’t see it but we can feel it. Wind can be defined as air in motion. It is wind that brings the air that we breathe. So air is very important. Wind can also blow away light objects like paper, nylon, cloth etc. However, when it moves with great force, air in motion could be dangerous. Some objects can float in the air by themselves.
How is wind measured?
Meteorologists use two main measurements to describe wind: direction and speed. Wind Direction – Wind direction is described by using the direction that the wind came from. For example, a southerly wind would blow from the south to the north. Wind direction is measured a number of ways including weather vanes, flags, and windsocks. Wind Speed – The speed of wind is measured in miles per hour or kilometers per hour. Scientists typically use a tool called an anemometer to measure the speed of the wind.
Strategies& Activities:
Step1: Teacher revises the previous topic.
Step2: Teacher introduces the new topic.
Step3: Teacher explains the new topic.
Step4: Teacher welcomes pupils’ questions.
Step5: Teacher evaluates the pupils
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
- What is wind?
- Can air be dangerous to us?
- Why is air important to our body?
WRAP-UP (CONCLUSION): The teacher goes over the topic once again for better understanding.
EVALUATION: Pupils are evaluated thus
- What is wind?
- Can air be dangerous to us?
- Why is air important to our body?
WEEK: Two
CLASS: Basic Two
SUBJECT: Basic Science
TOPIC: Objects that float in air
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:
- Observe and identify things that float in the air
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL: Balloon, old newspaper, thread, gum, etc
REFERENCE MATERIAL: STAN Basic Science and technology
BUILDING A BACKGROUND: Pupils are familiar with some objects that float in the air
CONTENT:
FLOATING IN THE AIR
Objects that float in the air are those objects that can easily be carried by air. They include: paper, Nylon, thread, kite, etc.
