Sub Topic: Electrical energy
Grade: Four
Ability: Mixed
No. Of Students: 10 girls and 6 boys
Age of Students: 9 -10 years
Time: 1:05 -1:45
Duration: 40mins
-
Objectives: Having discussed electrical energy Students should be able to:
Define electrical energy in one complete sentence.
List six uses of electrical energy in the home in less than three minutes.
Outline six safety precautions that should be taken when using electrical energy with no more than on error.
Instructional materials: Pictures, maps, radio, electrical outlet,
chalkboard
Previous knowledge: Students use electrical energy everyday
Strategies: Inquiry, discussion, brainstorming
Introduction:
A student switches the light on and off within the classroom a few times, having done that, the teacher plugs in a radio into a socket and turn on. Teacher allows students to listen for a half minute then the radio is turn off. Elicit from students what was responsible for the light and the radio being able to function.
Expected Response: “Electricity”
Step One
The concept of electrical energy would be introduced and the various definitions from students would be recorded on the board. Teacher generates a class discussion about why electrical energy is so widely used especially in there country. Students’ responses are recorded on the board.
Step Two:
Mount a chart that display table on board where students would complete by making a list of seven various electrical devices found in the home and what they are used for.
Step Three
Brainstorm students through questioning “what are some safety precautions to be taken when using electrical devices in their homes?”. To aid students with this activity several pictures would be placed on a chart showing several different accidents that may occur if electrical devices are not handled properly. Teacher would elicit from students what is happening in each picture and what should be the correct precaution taken in the pictures.
Allow students to give other accidents that may occur in the home if proper precautions are not taken with electrical equipments. Students should also give the safety precaution that should be taken to prevent the reoccurrence of such accidents.
Closure
Review the main points of the lesson via questioning.
Example: What is electrical energy?
Name two uses of electrical energy.
What is a safety precaution one must bear in mind when dealing with electrical devices.
Application: Students would choose one of the appliances and write a simple paragraph answering the following questions.
Appliances
Microwave Television Radio Computer
1. What makes your appliance work?
2. What are two accidents that can occur if you do not use your appliance properly?
3. What are three safety precautions you would take in preventing accidents to your appliance as well as yourself?
4. Give one reason why you would used any safety precaution listed above.
