LESSON PLAN NUMBER: science /10/08.02 SUBJECT: SCIENCE TEACHER: MKALA CLASS: 5G TOPIC: Energy (Magnetism) DATE: 24th August 2022 SUBTOPIC: Magnetic and non-Magnetic materials DURATION: 60 minutes LESSON OBJECTIVES PREPARATION • all learners should be able to define the Magnetic and non-Magnetic materials • most learners should be able identify the Magnetic and non-Magnetic materials • some learners should be able to explain the importance of magnets in the real-life • Have variety of materials for both magnetic and non-magnetic items of different sizes and shapes Like paper clips, nails, wood iron, nickel or cobalt are magnetic. Prepare magnetic vocabulary word wall cards to assist students in learning the associated content vocabulary. Attract situation TEACHING AND LEARNING OUTLINE INTRODUCTION. Time allocation: 10 minutes Students will start all together on the carpet for an introductory discussion and then should be split into three groups that will rotate through three stations. At the end of the lesson, we will come back to the carpet for a wrap-up discussion. We will need access to a whiteboard and markers to write some key vocabularies in the lesson. Today we brought with us a “magic” star. [Show kids a magnet being pulled and spun around on board using a magnet behind it.] Cool! How is it doing that? It’s actually not magic – it’s science! Today we’re all going to be scientists and investigate magnetic and non-magnetic materials work MAIN LESSON. Total time allocation: 40 minutes . Provide different materials for each group, give them each a magnet and let them use it to identify magnetic and nonmagnetic materials b. Before having the students participate themselves, ask them how we can use the attraction of a magnet to identify magnetic and non-magnetic materials. Do you think it can lift one? Have one student try, to model for group. c. Let’s try it with different weights. and materials for each weight, have a new student participates while other students observe. Will the magnet be able to pull them all up? Why? Why not? Have one student try it with you to show the whole group. (Task 4). Highlight that the skills that the learners have developed in this activity are of great importance in order to communicate accurately in science Connect the activity to the big picture a. Invite students to reflect on why a certain weight could or could not be pulled up by the magnet. b. Emphasize the overall takeaway of the lesson: Magnetism can be used to push or pull objects even when those objects are not in contact with one another: for example, by using magnets to pull objects of different weights! Conduct investigation which looks at which materials are attracted to magnets and which are not. Children could predict which materials will be magnetic and why, and then test them. Children may be surprised to find that not all metals are magnetic, however only metals which contain iron, nickel or cobalt are magnetic. Children could go on to investigate the effect of wrapping magnets in paper, cloth, foil and other materials, to find out if they still attract paper clips and other magnetic materials. PLENARY. Time allocation: 10 minutes It’s important to leave time to review and discuss the learning experience at the end of the lesson. This might take the form of discussing conclusions from an experiment; or review of the take-away of the lesson Discuss attraction vs repulsion (did students observe this?) What did students observe at each station? Discuss how the Earth is like a giant magnet (demo) -worksheet 5B MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT Paper clips, scissors, screws, nuts, and bolts DIFFERENTIATION • Extension activity: Challenge learners to identify common tools that uses the principal of magnetism • Base activity: REFERENCES • Oxford: pages 56-57 Hodder: pages 7-10 Cambridge: pages 4-8 HOME TASKS Learners to find common the Magnetic and non-Magnetic materials used at home. https://learning.cambridgeinternational.org/classroom/course/view.php?id=3639 Topic Test 6 Play a kahoot game on the Magnetic and non-Magnetic materials Link https://www.kahoot.com/scitable/topicpage/mitosis-and-cell-division-205/ •
