PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revises the previous lesson on maintenance

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

She explains the meaning, types and examples of acids

An acid is any substance that in water solution tastes sour, changes blue litmus paper to red, reacts with some metals to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes chemical reactions

 

Types of acid and their examples

1.   Common strong acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid.

2.   Common weak acids include acetic acid, boric acid, hydrofluoric acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, and carbonic acid.

 

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

She explains the meaning, types and examples of bases

Base is any substance that in water solution is slippery to the touch, tastes bitter, changes the colour of indicators (e.g., turns red litmus paper blue), reacts with acids to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions

Bases can primarily be divided into two types:

1. Strong bases- Potassium hydroxide (KOH), Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Caesium hydroxide (CsOH), Strontium hydroxide (Sr(OH)2), and Lithium hydroxide (LiOH)

2. Weak bases- Ammonia (NH3), Aluminium hydroxide( Al(OH)3), Lead hydroxide (Pb(OH)2), Ferric hydroxide (Fe(OH)3), Copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2), Zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2), Trimethylamine (N(CH3)3), Methylamine (CH3NH2) etc

PERIOD 2 and 3: Nutrition. Digital Literacy

PRESENTATION

TEACHEIR’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson on recreation

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

She explains the meaning of nutrition

Nutrition is the taking in and use of food and other nourishing material by the body.

1     Reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, some cancers, and osteoporosis.

2     Reduce high blood pressure.

3     Lower high cholesterol.

4     Improve your well-being.

5     Improve your ability to fight off illness.

6     Improve your ability to recover from illness or injury

                                                                  

She highlights some deficiency diseases

1.   Scurvy: It is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C.

2.   Rickets: It is caused by the deficiency of vitamin D.

3.   Anaemia: It is caused by the deficiency of iron.

4.   Goitre: It is caused by the deficiency of iodine

5.   Marasmus: it is caused by the deficiency of carbohydrates

6.   Kwashiorkor: It is caused by the deficiency of protein

     7. Dehydration: It is caused by   the deficiency of water

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

 She explains the meaning of digital literacy, copyright, plagiarism

Digital literacy means having the skills you need to live, learn, and work in a society where communication and access to information is increasingly through digital technologies like internet platforms, social media, and mobile device
