Basic 1 Science Term 1 Week 7 Lesson Plan

Play games and recite rhymes that learners are familiar with to begin the lesson. Ask learners questions to review their understanding in the previous lesson.

Learners explore and list materials they see in their environment. In groups, sort the materials into solid, liquid or gas. To demonstrate the presence of gas, learners can use paper cards /sheets of paper and wave them across their faces. In groups learners sort different substances into the solid, liquid or gaseous states with reasons. Each group presents their work to the whole class for discussions. Learners answer the following questions: What makes a solid different from a liquid? How is a liquid different from a gas? learners can be engaged in more activities to investigate and identify substances in the solid, liquid and gaseous states. E.g. inflating balloon, breathing in and out. For this activity, learners use stone, cup of water and inflated balloon to observe and sort the examples as solid, liquid or gas and describe their properties.

Ask learners questions to review their understanding of the lessson. Give learners task to do whiles you go round to guide those who need help. Ask learners to summarize what they have learnt. Let learners say 5 words they remember from the lesson.
