INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES
PERIOD 1 and 2: Measurement of mass
PRESENTATION | TEACHER’S ACTIVITY | PUPIL’S ACTIVITY |
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION | The pupils are asked to mention and demonstrate the ways in which they weigh the objects in their localities
The class uses the sand of different quantity being poured into 2 bags to brainstorm and formulate the meaning of mass- Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight describes how heavy or light an object is | Pupils pay attention |

Olden methods e.g a grain of wheat or barleycorn used to weigh the precious metals silver and gold. Larger units preserved in stone standards were developed that were used as both units of mass and of monetary currency.
2. Standard methods- balance(triple beam or electronic), dial spring balance etc
| Pupils pay attention and participates |
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION | She further explains and demonstrates the metric unit of mass and weight 10 milligrammes = 1 decigramme 10 decigrammes = 1 centigramme 10 centigrammes = 1 gramme 1000 grammes = 1 kilogramme 1000 Kilogrammes= 1 tonne | Pupils pay attention and participate |
STEP 4 NOTE TAKING | The teacher writes a short note on the board | The pupils copy the note in their books |
NOTE
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Weight describes how heavy or light an object is
There are two methods for measuring mass and weight
Metric unit of mass and weight
10 milligrammes = 1 decigramme
10 decigrammes = 1 centigramme
10 centigrammes = 1 gramme
1000 grammes = 1 kilogramme
1000 Kilogrammes= 1 tonne
EVALUATION: 1. Define these terms
CLASS ACTIVITY: Pupils are placed in small groups, and asked to measure, compare and analyse their varying mass.
CLASSWORK: As in evaluation
CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively
PERIOD 3: Movement
PRESENTATION | TEACHER’S ACTIVITY | PUPIL’S ACTIVITY |
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION | The teacher revisits the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by explaining what movement means- Movement is the act of changing place and position | Pupils pay attention |

| Pupils pay attention and participates |
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION | She further explains and demonstrates each of the movement patterns and asks the pupils to do the same
| Pupils pay attention and participate |
STEP 4 NOTE TAKING | The teacher writes a short note on the board | The pupils copy the note in their books |
NOTE
Movement is the act of changing place and position
movement patterns
EVALUATION: 1. What is movement?
