                                                3. pictures

PHASE/ DURATION	CONTENT	TEACHING & LEARNING ACTIVITIES	REMARKS
Orientation ( 5 minutes )	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.	Pictures,pen
Elicition Of Idea ( 15 minutes )	Nail,pen	1.    Teacher shows the objects one by one and ask question. Question: a)   What are these? b)   Which of these objects are metal? c)   Which of these objects that you think can let the current flow through?	SPS: classifying TS: Attibuting

Restructuring of Ideas (25 minutes)	Finding Materials Light up bulb Do not Light up bulb Silver spoon Nail Plastic comb Chopstick Wooden ruler Silver fork Copper wire Tooth pick Thumbtack Straw Rubber band Screw Key Copper coin Ice-cream stick 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.	SPS: experimenting TS:visualizing       relating Noble value: 1.being responsible about the safety of oneself and others and the environment. 2.being cooperative. 3.daring to try.
