Introducing a circuit
1.    Teacher asks:
(a)         What can you see in the pictures?
(b)         What can we form from these pictures?
(c)         Does the bulb light up?
(d)         What will happen if we put the pen between the wire?
(e)         Teacher explains that the bulb does not light up because the electricity cannot flow through the circuit.
(f)         Teacher introduces the topic.

Experiment: 1. Conductor
2.    Insulator

All conductors are made of metal,so metals are good conductor of electricity.

1.    Teacher divides pupils into 11 groups,each
group doing the experiment.


2.    Teacher discusses with the pupils the procedures of experiment and what to record in the table.
a)   Pupils do the experiment to find out which objects will light up the bulb and which objects do not light up the bulb,then record in the table given.

3.    Pupils discuss among themselves and compare the predicting.

4.    Teacher guides pupils to do the conclusion about the topic the have learned.
