STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson on Soil types

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher then explains the properties of sandy soil

1. Sandy soils have a light texture and loose structure, which cause them to drain quickly and not hold water well.

2. Sand particles are large and surrounded by air pockets, which provides plenty of open spaces for water to move through. When you pour water onto sandy soil, the water doesn't pool on the surface, but soaks right in

3. Sandy soil has a loose structure with large pore spaces, which allows for easy movement of roots through the soil.

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson on functions of the Memory Unit

 

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher then explains functions of some special keys

1. Control key-The Control key serves as a shortcut for various commands. It is used in combination with other keys on the keyboard

2. Enter key- It is used send the cursor to the next line or executes an action

3. Spacebar key- It's always the largest and longest key on the keyboard. it creates an empty space known as a space character or whitespace that helps separate words and other characters in a sentence

4. Function keys- The function keys or F keys are lined across the top of the keyboard and labeled F1 through F12. These keys act as shortcuts, performing certain functions, like saving files, printing data, or refreshing a page.

5. Tab key- The tab key(abbreviation of tabulator key or tabular key) on a keyboard is used to advance the cursor to the next tab stop.

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

The teacher explains what long jump means

Long jump is a field event where athletes compete by comparing lengths of their jumps where athletes try to jump as far as they can

 

The teacher further explains the phases in long jump

1. The approach or run-up

2. The take-off

3. The flight

4. The landing

5. The recovery
