Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 5 Rationalized Science and Technology Lessons Plans for Term 3 2025. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The lesson plans cover 9 weeks of the term, focusing on the strand of Force and Energy. The primary learning resource used is the Super Minds Science and Technology Grade 5 textbook.

  The topics covered are broken down as follows:

  • Week 1 & 2: Floating and Sinking
    • Learners conduct practical experiments to demonstrate why some objects float and others sink in water.
    • They identify factors affecting this, such as the object's material (density), shape, weight, and size.
    • The lessons explore real-world applications like ships, swimming, and the use of life savers.
    • The effects of flooding and related mitigation measures, like planting trees and proper drainage, are also discussed.
  • Week 3, 4 & 5: Sound Energy
    • Students identify sources of sound and demonstrate that sound is produced by vibrations.
    • They explore how sound travels in all directions and can be reflected to create an echo.
    • A key activity involves making simple sound-producing instruments (like shakers and box guitars) from locally available materials.
    • The topic of noise pollution is covered, including its effects on people and the environment, its common sources, and the role of government agencies like NEMA in its control.
    • Learners create posters and simple animations using Scratch to raise awareness about noise pollution.
  • Week 6 & 7: Heat Transfer
    • The three modes of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—are introduced and demonstrated through experiments.
    • Learners classify materials as good conductors (like metal) or poor conductors/insulators (like wood and plastic).
    • Practical applications of heat transfer are explored, including cooking and ironing.
    • Students engage in hands-on projects to make oven gloves and a fireless cooker, applying the principle of insulation to conserve heat.
    • Emphasis is placed on safety precautions when handling heat and responding to fire emergencies.
  • Week 8-9: Revision and Assessment
    • A comprehensive review of all topics covered during the term: Floating and Sinking, Sound Energy, and Heat Transfer.
    • Completion of revision exercises and sitting for the end-of-year assessment.
