INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

PERIOD 1: Living things and non-living things

NOTE

Living things and their characteristics

Living things have a variety of characteristics that are displayed to different degrees: they respire, move, respond to stimuli, reproduce and grow, and are dependent on their environment. Examples are plants, animals and human beings

Non-living things and their characteristics

Non-living things are those lacking the characteristics of life. Based on that definition, non-living things include rock, water, sand, glass, and sun. None of them shows the characteristics of being alive.

EVALUATION:    1. Explain the meaning of living things and state their characteristics. Give three examples

2. Explain the meaning of non-living things and state their characteristics. Give three examples

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively

PERIOD 2 and 3: Communicable and non-communicable diseases. Python

NOTE

Rhythmic activities are combinations of physical movements with sounds,

beats, or music.

1. hopping
2. singing
3. dancing
4. marching
5. skipping
6. galloping
7. sliding

Meaning of and importance of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI include expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition and machine vision.

Importance of Artificial Intelligence

Reduction in Human Error

1. We can overcome many risky limitations of humans by developing an AI Robot which in turn can do the risky things for us.
2. AI can work 24x7 without any breaks and they don’t even get bored, unlike humans.
3. Using artificial intelligence we can productively automate repetitive tasks
4. Introduction of digital assistants to interact with users which saves the need for human resources.
5. Using AI alongside other technologies we can make machines take decisions faster than a human and carry out actions quicker.
6. AI is powering many inventions in almost every domain which will help humans solve the majority of complex problems

EVALUATION:    1. Define these terms

1. Rhythmic activities
2. Artificial intelligence
3. Give seven examples each of Rhythmic activities
4. Explain four importance of Artificial intelligence

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively
