SECOND TERM LESSON PLAN FOR BASIC 2 – BASIC SCIENCE
WEEK: One Basic Science Primary 2 Second Term Lesson Plan, Lesson Notes, Scheme of Work
CLASS: Basic Two
SUBJECT: Basic Science
TOPIC: Air
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES:At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:
- Define wind as air in motion
- Describe th effects of wind on the body
BUILDING A BACKGROUND: Pupils are familiar with air
CONTENT:
AIR
Air is all around us. We can’t see it but we can feel it. Wind can be defined as air in motion. It is the wind that brings the air that we breathe. So air is very important. Wind can also blow away light objects like paper, nylon, cloth etc. However, when it moves with great force, the air in motion could be dangerous
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL: Pieces of paper, gum, plastic bottles etc
REFERENCE MATERIAL: STAN Basic Science and technology
EVALUATION: Pupils are evaluated thus
- What is wind?
- Can air be dangerous to us?
- Why is air important to our body?
WEEK: Two
