The Frayer model.  In this five-box graphic organizer, students write a word in the middle box; and in the other four boxes, they define the word, give characteristics, and list examples and nonexamples.  This is also a great strategy for younger students since pictures can be drawn in

Primary School Science Syllabus

Aims to provide primary students with experiences which build on their interest in and stimulate their curiosity about their environment provide students with basic scientific terms and concepts to help them understand themselves and the world around them provide students with opportunities to develop skills, habits of mind and attitudes necessary for scientific inquiry prepare students towards using scientific knowledge and methods in making personal decisions help students appreciate how science influences people and the environment

Cycles 

Students should recognise that there are repeated patterns of change in nature and understand how these patterns arise. Examples of these cycles are the life cycles of living things and the water cycle. Understanding these cycles helps Man to predict events and processes and to understand the Earth as a self-sustaining system. In this theme, students learn about the Cycles in plants and animals as well as matter and water. Key inquiry questions include: 

What are the cycles in our everyday life? 

How are cycles important to life? 

Systems 

Students should recognise that a system is a whole consisting of parts that work together to perform a function. There are systems in nature as well as man-made systems. Examples of systems in nature are the digestive and respiratory systems. 

Examples of man-made systems are electrical systems. Understanding these systems allows Man to understand how they operate and how parts influence and interact with one another to perform a function. In this theme, students learn about t h e plant, human, cell a n d electrical systems. Key inquiry questions include: 

What are the different parts of a system? 

How do parts of a system or different systems interact together to perform a function? 

Energy 

Students should appreciate that energy affects both living and non-living things. It makes changes and movement possible in everyday life. There are many forms of energy and one form can be converted to another. Man uses energy in many ways, for many different purposes. Man is not the only animal that uses energy; all living things obtain energy and use it to carry out life processes. Understanding this theme will allow students to appreciate the importance and uses of energy and the need to conserve it. In this theme, students learn about various energy forms, uses and conversion. Key inquiry questions include:

How does energy affect Man and his surroundings? 

Interactions 

Students should appreciate that a study of the interactions between and within systems helps Man to better understand the environment and his role in it. Interactions occur within an organism, between organisms as well as between organisms and the environment. There are also interactions between forces and objects. The interaction of Man with his environment drives the development of Science and Technology. At the same time, Science and Technology influences the way Man interacts with his environment. By understanding the interactions between Man and his environment, students can better appreciate the equences of their actions and be responsible for their actions. In this theme, students learn .about the interaction of forces a n d interactions within the environment.

How to Write a Lesson Plan

Writing a lesson plan will ensure that you are prepared for your class and will make it run more smoothly. It is important to break the material up into several sections and choose activities suitable for each. Knowing approximately how much time an activity will take is important, but after the first lesson you may need to adjust things accordingly. It is best to be flexible seeing as different classes will respond to material differently. If at any point students struggle, you will have to dedicate more time to instruction or drilling before moving on to practice activities. For the purposes of this example let’s assume that an English class is forty-five minutes long.

How To Proceed 

 Warm up 

A warm up activity can be used in a number of ways. It can get your students thinking about material that will be used later on in the class, review material from a previous class, or simply get your students thinking in English, moving around, or awake. 

Introduction 

A good introduction will create a need for students to learn the material you are going to present and get them interested in the day’s topic. about ten minutes should be sufficient. 

Practice 

The practice activity would normally be about ten minutes and have students working individually or in pairs. Practicing model dialogues, completing worksheets, and doing short activities would be appropriate. This may take about ten minutes including going over the answers or having some demonstrations. 

Production

In the production activity students should have to produce material on their own. Rather than reading sentences, perhaps they have to answer questions or make their own sentences. Longer activities such as board games, which can be played in groups, or activities for the whole class, where students work in teams, would be best. The remaining class time can be devoted to this activity. 

Review

It is a good idea to plan another five minute activity that can be done at the end of class as a review or used as the warm up in the following lesson. If the production activity does not take up the remaining portion of the class period, you have a backup plan.
