Knowledge
Having discussed the concept transportation students should be able to define the term transportation in their own words without referring to the text book.
Skills
Having examined the various forms of transportation, students should be able to classify the different forms of transport on their own into land, sea, and air with the aid of a chart, with accuracy.

Lower Concept
Travelling using the means of transportation
Generalization
Higher order
Transportation is used through out the world
Lower Order
Domestic animals such as horses, donkeys are used as means of transportation in St. Kitts.
Content outline: using different means of transportation
Previous knowledge:
Students know or familiar with concept of movement because they travel to school daily.
Instructional material: pictures of different forms of transportation, film, chart
Teaching strategy: Inductive Discovery
SS Processes: reinforcement that students will build an understanding of the major and recurring concepts.
Introduction:
Have students view a mini film showing the different ways and means people travel to different places {students are expected to be making mental notes of what was seen in the mini film}. Teacher will get students to elicit the concept of “transportation” by asking questions based on what seen in the film. Students answer would be recorder on the board.
Questions: how did Tim reach to school? {Expected answer: car}
How did Mary get to Canada? {Expected answer: plane}
How did Joe get from his village to town? {Expected answer: bus}
What one word we can sue to describe all the answers {expected answer: transportation}
Teacher and students would briefly discuss the concept with students.
Lesson Development
Step1: have students to share places they have visited and the means of transportation they used to reach their destinations. Then invite children to name places they would like to visit, listing responses on the board. Ask students how they would get to some of these locations, encouraging them to name alternate means of transportation for each.
Step2: elicit from students what are the forms of transportation. {
Expected response: land, air, sea} distribute pictures showing the three forms of transportation to students. Have students go to the board and place pictures under the correct form of transport. Have students give other examples of types of transportation that fall under each category.
Step 3: have students volunteer to give a definition of what it is and examples that were not talked about earlier. Pair various means of transportation, and have students tell which they think is faster. For example: walking and car, car and train, bus and train, car and airplane. Then have students tell which method of transportation they think is fastest of all, and which is slowest. {Teacher does so to make sure students are paying attention as well as understanding the concept}
Step 4: teacher places chart on the board displaying examples and non examples of means of transportation on the board. Have students study chart then allow students to identify examples of transportation
Examples: ships, telephone, cars, foot, pier, plane, barrow.
Consolidation/ closure:
Teacher would close the lesson by use of song this way students would remember the concept of transportation.
Song:
This is the Way We Row a Boat
(Tune "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush)
This is the way we row a boat,
Row a boat, row a boat.
This is the way we row a boat,
Early in the morning.

Drive a bus
These are the things we use every day
To get where we are going
