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?
