Week Four

Subject: Basic Science
Class: Primary One
Week of the Term: 4th Week, Second Term
Topic: Use of Energy
Sub-topic: Examples of Activities Involving Energy

Instructional Objectives

At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

1. Identify examples of activities that use energy (e.g., running, cooking).
2. Explain how energy is needed for movement and work.
3. Demonstrate simple activities that require energy (e.g., lifting, jumping).

Entry Behaviour

Pupils should already know that energy is what makes things move or work. They should have been introduced to the basic concept of energy in earlier lessons.

Instructional Materials

1. Visual aids (pictures of activities like running, cooking, and playing).
2. Flashcards with words and images showing energy-related activities.
3. A small toy car (to show movement as a result of energy).
