Subject: Social Studies
Topic: My Community
Sub Topic: Transportation in communities
Grade: three (3)
Age: 8 – 9 year olds
Time: 40 minutes
Objectives:
Knowledge:
Having discussed the concept of transportation, students should be able to define transportation without using a dictionary.
With the aid of pictures and models of the different means of transportation, students should be able to compare transportation used long ago and presently.
Skills
Draw a pictograph showing the different means of transportation students in grade three use to get to school with no more than two (2) errors.
Student should be able to identify the different means of transportation used long ago with the aid of pictures.
Attitude:
Having discussed the concept of transportation, students should be able to show appreciation for the different means of transportation.
Concepts:
Higher Order:
Lower Order: transportation
Lesson Content: There are different means of transportation that persons can use to get from one place to another.
Previous Knowledge: Students are aware of what a community is.
Students have an idea how to draw graphs.
Instructional Materials: pictures showing examples and non-examples of different means of transportation, examples of different means of transportation, chart stating definition of transportation, models of different means of transportation.
Teaching Strategies: problem solving with discussion
Social Studies Processes: use of examples and non examples, encouraging thinking, using issue centered activities, emphasizing student activities.
Introduction:
Teacher and students will sing the song “this is the way we row a boat” to the tune of “here we go round the Mulberry bush”. Copy of the song is provided in the appendix. Teacher will elicit from students what the song is about. Expected response is different means of transportation
Development:
Step 1: Teacher elicit from students the different means of transportation use in the song. Expected responses should include; boat, car, plane, and horse. Teacher then ask students to list other means of transportation. Expected responses should include foot, bus, train, etc.
Step 2: Teacher will present students with pictures showing examples and non examples of transportation and have students identify the examples. Examples include train, bus, helicopter, car and non examples include; fish, box, bucket and ladder. Through discussion teacher will guide students to arrive at the meaning of transportation. Expected response; transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. Teacher will present students with chart outlining the definition of transportation.
Step 3: Teacher leads discussion and elicit from students the different means of transportation used long ago. Teacher writes their responses on the board. Expected answers include; animal drawn carts, foot, boats. Teacher present students with some models of transportation used long ago as well as some models of the transportation used long ago have them identify them.
Step 4: Students will compare means of transportation used long ago with present means and observe their similarities and differences. Students will record their findings. Teacher will ask students what are the similarities and differences between transportation used long ago and presently. Expected responses include; the make and shape of the vehicles, the built, the size, etc.
Step 5: Teacher then conducts a survey of how students travel to school. Teacher records the information on the board. Students will then say how other persons travel base on their observation.
Consolidation: Teacher recaps the main points of the lesson through questioning and the use of the chart and pictures.
Application: Students will draw a graph showing the different means of transportation students use to get to school presently.
