STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revises the previous lesson on products of technology

 

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher lists some materials used in measuring liquids

1     Beakers and Flasks. 

2     Graduated Cylinders. 

3     Burets. 

4     Pipettes.

 

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

She then enumerates the metric unit of volume

10millilitre = 1centilitre

10centilitre = 1 decilitre

10 decilitre = 1 litre

1000cm3       = 1 litre

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

Materials used in measuring liquids

  • Beakers and Flasks. 

  • Graduated Cylinders. 

  • Burets. 

  • Pipettes.

Metric unit of volume

10millilitre = 1centilitre

10centilitre = 1 decilitre

10 decilitre = 1 litre

1000cm3       = 1 litre

 

EVALUATION:    1. List three materials used in measuring liquids

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

The teacher explains the meaning of coding and its importance

Coding is the process of transforming ideas, solutions, and instructions into the language that the computer can understand – that is, binary-machine code. Coding is how humans are able to talk with computers.

Importance of coding

1. Coding develops logical thinking

2. Coding improves problem solving skills

3. Coding fosters creativity

4. Coding allows high income potential

5. Coding helps you work smartly and efficiently

6. It helps to develop resilience

7. One becomes an expert at debugging

8. It becomes easy to communicate with code

Pupils pay attention and participate
