Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 9 Rationalized Integrated Science Lesson Plans Term 1 2026. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The lesson plan is professionally structured to cover all weeks of the term, including the mid-term break, ensuring a comprehensive breakdown of lessons per week. It is fully aligned with the KICD-approved CBE (formerly CBC) curriculum, adhering to the latest rationalized standards.

  The document covers the following strands, sub-strands, and topics:

  • Mixtures, Elements, and Compounds
    • Structure of the Atom
      • Definition and structure of the atom (protons, neutrons, electrons).
      • Difference between Atomic Number and Mass Number.
      • Calculating the mass number of the first twenty elements.
      • Electron arrangement: Definition, energy levels, and drawing configurations using dots and crosses.
      • Classifying elements into metals and non-metals based on electron arrangement and valence electrons.
      • Modeling atomic structures using locally available materials.
    • Metals and Alloys
      • Physical properties of metals (conductivity, malleability, ductility).
      • Experiments demonstrating physical properties of metals.
      • Definition and composition of alloys (e.g., steel, brass, bronze).
      • Physical properties and common uses of alloys in daily life.
      • Rusting: Definition, causes, and environmental effects.
      • Experiments on the causes of rusting (moisture, oxygen).
      • Methods of controlling/preventing rusting.
    • Water Hardness
      • Physical properties of water.
      • Definition and properties of hard water versus soft water.
      • Soap lather test to distinguish between hard and soft water.
      • Methods of softening temporary hard water: Boiling and Distillation.
      • Chemical softening: Addition of washing soda.
      • Advantages and disadvantages of hard and soft water.
      • Applications of hard and soft water in daily life.
  • Living Things and Their Environment
    • Nutrition in Plants
      • External and internal structure of a leaf.
      • Adaptations of the leaf for photosynthesis.
      • Structure and function of the chloroplast.
      • Process and products of photosynthesis.
      • Conditions necessary for photosynthesis: Light, Chlorophyll, and Carbon (IV) Oxide.
      • Experiments to test the necessity of light, chlorophyll, and carbon (IV) oxide for photosynthesis.
      • Importance of photosynthesis in nature.
    • Nutrition in Animals
      • Modes of nutrition: Parasitic, Saprophytic, Holozoic, and Symbiosis.
      • Digestive system overview and nutrient absorption.
      • Dentition: Definition and types (Homodont vs. Heterodont).
      • Types of teeth (Incisors, Canines, Premolars, Molars) and their functions.
      • Classifying animals based on dentition (Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores).
