Basic 1 Science Term 1 Week 11 Lesson Plan

Review learners understanding in the previous lesson using questions and answers. Engage learners to play games and sing songs to begin the lesson.

Let learners observe the disappearance of mist and run-off water after rain sand come and talk about it in class. Engage learners to predict where mist and run-off water go after rains and assist them to understand that they evaporate. Mists evaporates but run-off water either flows into surface water bodies or collects as stagnant pools of water. Run- off water takes a longer time to evaporate Ask learners where they get water (sources of water) at the home, community and school. In a participatory manner, learners come out with sources of water in the home and at school Show or draw pictures depicting different sources of water such as bore- holes, rivers, wells and the sea Discuss the various uses of water at their homes, school and community. Learners demonstrate several uses of water, e.g. washing of face and hands, drinking and preparing beverages, rinsing of utensils, watering of flowers. Use local materials to create different sources of water in an outdoor activity. E.g. artificial wells, rivers, rainfall and tap For this activity, learners use two shallow bowls of water, sticks of chalk and printed photograph of a local rain puddle to place equal water levels in sun and shade, mark the levels and compare them with the rain-puddle photograph as they explain evaporation.
