Term: 1^st Term

Week: 5

Class: Primary 3

Age: 8 years

Duration: 40 minutes of 3 periods

Date:

Subject: Basic Science and Technology

Topic: Mirror image formation

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to

INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES: Identification, explanation, playway method, questions and answers, demonstration, videos from source, experimentation

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS: plane mirrors, lenses-concave and convex, empty cans with shiny surfaces, pencil and book

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

PERIOD 1: Mirror image formation

PRESENTATION	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	PUPIL’S ACTIVITY
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION	The teacher revisits the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by explaining what a Mirror is and what mirror image formation is- Mirror is a shiny surface that reflects all the light that strikes it Mirror Image Formation- this is when an object is placed in front of a mirror and the same object is seen in the mirror	Pupils pay attention
STEP 2 EXPERIMENTATION	The teacher demonstrates image formation using a mirror and any of the learners who stands in front of it	Pupils pay attention and participates
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION	Using real mirrors, she further explains and demonstrates the types of mirrors 1. Concave mirror- it has an inward curvature at the centre 2. Convex mirror – it has an outward bulge She further explains the applications of reflection of light 1. We could see ourselves clearly in the mirror 2. It is used to produce objects such as a torch light and headlamp for seeing near and far objects	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

Mirror is a shiny surface that reflects all the light that strikes it

EVALUATION: 1. Define these terms

CLASS ACTIVITY: Pupils in pairs, demonstrate the reflection of light using plane mirrors

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively

PERIOD 2 and 3: Hardware devices. Physical fitness

PRESENTATION	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	PUPIL’S ACTIVITY
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION	The teacher revisits the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by explaining what Hardware devices are- Hardware devices are physical parts of the computer that could be seen and touched.	Pupils pay attention
STEP 2 EXPLANATION	The teacher using the chart, describes the two forms of hardware devices a. Input devices: they are used to enter commands, data and instructions into the computer e.g mouse, joystick, scanner, microphone, keyboard etc b. Output devices: They are used to retrieve data, results and information from the computer system e.g monitor, printer, speakers etc	Pupils pay attention and participates
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION	She displays the hardware devices for the pupils to identify	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

Hardware devices are physical parts of the computer that could be seen and touched.

Two forms of hardware devices

Input devices: they are used to enter commands, data and instructions into the computer e.g mouse, joystick, scanner, microphone, keyboard etc
Output devices: They are used to retrieve data, results and information

from the computer system e.g monitor, printer, speakers etc

EVALUATION: 1. Define the term “Hardware devices”

and give three examples of each

CLASS ACTIVITY: Pupils in small groups, identify and state the various hardware devices

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively
