Subject: Science
Class: Basic 7
Component 1
Materials
Topic: Classify materials into liquids, solids and gases
| Strand: Diversity Of Matter | Sub-strand: Materials |
| Indicator: B7.1.1.1.1 Classify materials into liquids, solids and gases | Content Standard: B7.1.1.1 Recognize materials as important resources for providing human needs |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can group materials in the environment into liquids, solids and gases | T.L.R.(s): Stone, Water in a clear bottle, Inflated balloon |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Using questions and answers, find out from learners what they already know about the three states of matter. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Stone; Water in a clear bottle; Inflated balloon. Learners observe and safely handle the specimens or apparatus, using them in the investigation or model below.
engage learners to create and complete a table to record the texture, appearance, color and shape of a group of materials assembled from the environment.
Learners to group materials into liquids, solids and gases.
Discuss the differences among liquids, solids and gases. Solids Have fixed shape Can flow Very dense | Phase 3plenary / reflections Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson. |
Component 2
Materials
Topic: Classify materials into liquids, solids and gases
| Strand: Diversity Of Matter | Sub-strand: Materials |
| Indicator: B7.1.1.1.1 Classify materials into liquids, solids and gases | Content Standard: B7.1.1.1 Recognize materials as important resources for providing human needs |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can group materials in the environment into liquids, solids and gases | T.L.R.(s): Stone, Water in a clear bottle, Inflated balloon |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Share the performance indicators with learners. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Stone; Water in a clear bottle; Inflated balloon. Learners observe and safely handle the specimens or apparatus, using them in the investigation or model below. liquids Do not have a fixed shape Can flow Less dense Give examples of solids, liquids and gases that can be identified from your environment.
Assessment 1. Mention three things in the environment that are gaseous in nature. 2. state three differences between liquids and gas | Phase 3plenary / reflections Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson. |
Component 3
Materials
Topic: Discuss the importance of liquids in the life of humans
| Strand: Diversity Of Matter | Sub-strand: Materials |
| Indicator: B7.1.1.2 Discuss the importance of liquids in the life of humans | Content Standard: B7.1.1.1 Recognize materials as important resources for providing human needs |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can talk of the importance of liquids to living things | T.L.R.(s): Bottle of clean water, Bottle of palm oil, Bottle of fruit juice |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Using questions and answers, revise with learners what was studied in the previous lesson. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Bottle of clean water; Bottle of palm oil; Bottle of fruit juice. Learners observe and safely handle the specimens or apparatus, using them in the investigation or model below.
In groups of 3 or 4 let learners describe the need to preserve liquids for human use. Note the grouping should be mixed sex unless it is one sex school
Record liquids they see being used in their community.
Assessment 1. mention four importance of liquids to humans | Phase 3plenary / reflections Ask learners how the lesson will benefit them in their daily lives. |
