Basic 8 Social Studies Term 1 Week 4 Lesson Plan

Start the lesson with a recap of the previous lesson. Allow learners to reflect on what they learnt from the previous lesson and the homework relating to ways of conserving energy.

Learners compare the efficient-lighting information on the LED bulb with a teacher-provided example of a less efficient bulb. They practise switching the Switchable power strip off when simulated appliances are not in use and explain how this prevents wasted standby energy. Groups read the consumption and charge sections of the Sample ECG electricity bill and predict how the demonstrated actions could reduce use and cost. They prepare a short household energy-conservation message using evidence from all three resources.

Ask learners series of questions to review their understanding of the lesson Ask learners to summarize what they have learnt

Set expectations for this lesson including what will be learnt and how learning will occur and assessed
