Subject: Science
Class: Basic 7

Component 1

Materials

Topic: Classify materials into liquids, solids and gases

Strand: Diversity Of MatterSub-strand: Materials
Indicator: B7.1.1.1.1 Classify materials into liquids, solids and gasesContent 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 gasesT.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.

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 MatterSub-strand: Materials
Indicator: B7.1.1.2 Discuss the importance of liquids in the life of humansContent 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 thingsT.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
