Subject : Science
Class : 2P
No. of students : 27
Date : 11-10-2011
Duration : 11.00 am – 11.30am (30 minutes)
Unit : Learning About The World Around Us – Push And Pull
Topic : 4.3 Predicting and Testing.
Previous Knowledge : Pupils learnt about the big ball can move further than the
small ball.
small ball.
Learning outcome :
1. Pupils predict which toy car will travel the furthest.
2. Pupils measure distance in appropriate units.
3. Pupils record their finding in a table.
4. Pupils state the objects that move furthest because of the object’s diameter .
Learning objectives : At the end of the lesson, the pupils must be able to:
- make predictions and to test them.
Scientific skills / Thinking skills: Observing, predicting, communicating,
Manipulative skills : Use and handle science apparatus and substance.
Scientific attitude / Noble values: Being cooperative.
Strategies : Compare and contrast, Observation, Interpret information.
Future – studies : Pupils can design a fair test of this experiment.
T-L Resource : Balls, toy cars, chalk, straws, mahjong paper, marker pens.
Phase/Duration | Content | T-L Activities | Remarks/Notes | ||||||||
Orientation (3 minutes) | Which ball move furthest. | 1. Teacher shows the pupils two different size balls and ask pupils to do the predicting about which ball will move further. 2. Pupils answer the questions by using their previous knowledge about the balls testing they done yesterday. | Strategy: Question and Answer skills by using Observe - Predict - Explain technique. T.L. Resources: Balls | ||||||||
Eliciting of ideas (13 minutes) | Predict and testing which toy car will travel the furthest. | 1. Teacher shows three different size toy cars that mark with A, B and C. 2. Pupils predict the result. (Which toy car will travel furthest.) 3. Pupils write down their prediction on their activity book. (Toy car A / Toy car B / Toy car C will travel the furthest.) 4. Teacher asks the pupils to do the test. 5. Pupils mark a starting line for the toy cars and push the toy cars from the starting line one by one. 6. Pupils mark the point where each toy car stops. 7. Pupils measure the distance travelled by toy car A, toy car B and toy car C by uses the straw. 8. Pupils record the distance travelled in a table.
9. Pupils write down the placing of the toy cars. | Strategy: Inquiry Learning T.L. Resources: Toy cars, chalk, straws, mahjong paper, marker pens - Observing - Predicting - Communicating Scientific Attitudes / Noble Values: Being cooperative | ||||||||
Restructuring of ideas (5 minutes) | The biggest toy car will travel the furthest. | 1. Pupils compare their answer with their friends about their predicting. 2. Discussion in group of two. 3. Pupils discuss why the biggest toy car will travel the furthest. | Strategy: Activity inquiry in group -Communicating | ||||||||
Application (6 minutes) | Assessment | 1. Pupils complete their table in the activity book. | Strategy: Mastery Learning T.L. Resources: Activity books | ||||||||
Reflection (3 minutes) | Summary - We predict first than we do the testing. - We can do the test by ourselves. - We can measure each of the toy car distance by using straws. - We understand that the biggest toy car will travelled the furthest. | 1. Teacher leads the pupils to do the summaries about today’s lesson. | Strategy: Ask a question for whole class |
