Teachers and Students
do a routine of exercises
to improve the brain
disposition to learn
Materials: Song Poster #
24,Heavy and Light, and
CD;, Two objects of similar
size but different weights,
After displaying the Poster,
TS will be asked to predict
about the song’s story.
Then, the song will be sing
two or three times. Then,
the selected objects will be
displayed and TS will be
asked which is heavy and
which is lighter? How can
you tell? Which is harder to
lift? Why do you think that
is so?
Then some questions will
be ask, could you lift an
elephant? Could a very
strong person lift an
elephant? How do you
know that a feather is light?
Then the song will be sing
again and TS will pretend
to lift the heavy objects and
the light objects.

Math
Time: 9:109:30
Materials:
Song Poster # 24, Heavy and
Light, and CD; And the two
boxes used day 2, but the box
which was heavy it will be
light and the light one will be
heavy. Labels of light.
After singing the song, the
boxes will be displayed and
the students will be asked
which one is lighter, and why
they know it.
Then students will take turns
to hold both boxes and to say
which is light. Then the light
box will be labeled. Then, TS
will look for light objects in
the classroom and label them,
at the end (same that day 2)
two of those light objects will
be hold to know which one is
lighter and how they know it.
Materials:
Song Poster # 24, Heavy and
Light, and CD; the discussion
book and a smaller book; a
large, empty box and a smaller
box with a brick or other
heavy object inside. A variety
of objects some of them small
but heavy, and some that are
large but light.
After singing the song, the
books will be displayed and TS
will be asked Which book do
you think is heavier? Why? Do
you need to hold each book to
decide? Then, the boxes will be
displayed and the students
asked: One box is heavy and
the other is light, which one do
you think is the heavy one?
Why? Can we check? Several
students will come to check
and decide which one is
heavier. And TT will ask:
which box is heavier? Which
box is lighter? Why isn’t the
big box heavier? Then the
boxes will be open and the
students will discuss why the
different objects are heavier.
Then TT will explain that the
material used to make or fill
objects affect its weight.
Then, the different objects
displayed will be checked to
know if they are big or small,
and heavy or light. Several
children will hold the objects
and discus why they are
lighter if they are smaller.
Using a tool to compare
weights
Materials:
Song Poster # 24, Heavy and
Light, and CD; a pan balance;
two identical objects; a variety
of objects of different weights;
two objects with small
difference in weight
(detectable on a pan balance,
but not easily detected by
holding the objects.
After singing the song, the two
identical objects will be pass
to establish that they are the
same weight.
Then, TT will introduce the
balance scales. Then TS will be
invited to tell when the
balance scales are used. Point
that the pans are balanced.
A student will stand with his
arms out to act like balance
pans,
The two identical objects will
be placed one in each pan, and
ask: Are the scales still
balanced? Why? Remove the
objects from the pans.
Then, place two objects of
different weight on the pan
balance and invite TS to
describe what happened.
Establish that the heavier
object goes down, and the
lighter object goes up. Each
child in turn will pretend they
are scales and holding two
objects of different sizes they
will down the arm in which
the heavier object was placed.
The activity will be repeated
for the different objects
displayed switching the pan in
which the heavier object is
(sometimes is on the right,
some on the left).
