Component 1

Compliant Materials

Topic: Describe compliant materials

Strand: Materials for ProductionSub-strand: Compliant Materials
Indicator: B7.2.1.1.1 Describe compliant materialsContent Standard: B7.2.1.1 Demonstrate knowledge of basic concept of compliant materials
Performance Indicator: Learners can identify and describe a compliant materialT.L.R.(s): Kente fabric offcut, Leather offcut, Raffia strip
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Revise with learners to review their understanding in the previous lesson.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Kente fabric offcut; Leather offcut; Raffia strip. Learners inspect and safely handle each item, then use the items in the practical health, food, materials, or workshop task below. Display a chart of pictures of materials on the board for learners to observe. Guide learners to identify and describe compliant materials such as paper/card, fabric/textiles Guide learners to explain what is meant by compliant materials E.g., Compliant materials are materials that have recognized, predictable and consistent properties such as paper/card, fabric/textiles. A material is a compliant material, if it conforms to a known performance criteria.
The paper used is a compliant material
The fabric is a compliant material
Put learners in groups to sort out compliant materials from the variety of available materials. Engage learners to write a summary of the explanation and sorting.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Component 2

Compliant Materials

Topic: Distinguish between types of compliant materials

Strand: Materials for ProductionSub-strand: Compliant Materials
Indicator: B7.2.1.1.2 Distinguish between types of compliant materialsContent Standard: B7.2.1.1 Demonstrate knowledge of basic concept of compliant materials
Performance Indicator: Learners can Identify and classify compliant materials in their various categoriesT.L.R.(s): Copy paper, Cardboard offcut, Kente fabric offcut
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Groups handle the Copy paper, Cardboard offcut and Kente fabric offcut and record each material's thickness, flexibility, texture and likely use. They classify the samples under paper, card and fabric and explain the evidence for each choice. Learners bend and fold each sample without damaging it, compare how it responds and select the most suitable material for a stated classroom product.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.
