Daily Lesson Plan

Name of school: Janasewa School                                 Date:2023/3/21                              Grade: 8                                                                     No. of students: 40                   Name of the teacher: Jharana Shahi Subject:  Science                                              Time: 45 min Topic: Measurement                                              Period: 1st

 

 

 

Specific objectives:

After the lesson students will be able to

·        Explain the needs of measurement.  

·         Tell the examples of physical and non- physical quantities and SI / CGS/FPS and MKS units of quantities.

·         Describe the different systems of measurement.

 

Soft Skills developed after this class

·        Collaboration

·        Decision making

·        Problem solving

·        Analysis

 

Teaching learning activities:

Introduction:

Explanation on the different types of quantities way of measuring them and showing different object to the classroom.

Main part/ teaching steps:

I will do following things in class:

1.     Warm up class: 2-3 min.

Compering height of body, palm length etc. with students.

2.     Discussion / revision on previous class: 5 min

Before I start class I will make link between last class and today’s class.

3.     Content presentation (or some days it may be learning by doing/ activity learning): 20 minute

Content will be delivered via using power point slides.

Activities / practices:

·        I will ask question like do you love your family? How much you love your family? Have you ever feel happiness/ sadness/ anger? If yes how much? How is today’s weather? Is it hot or cold? How much?

By above mention question I will clarify the concept of measurable and non-measurable thing and importance of measurements too.

·        Before I start content I will show picture of different measuring instruments and will ask what they are and how they are used in practice.

·        Students are said to measure the length of their different subject book and are said to measure area and volume.

Activities: A. for the understanding of different system of units.

1.     Divide the class in sub group

2.     Ask to measure the height of A student by B. then convert it into different units as shown in table below:

Name	Height	MKS	FPS	CGS	Millimetre
Ram Bogati	5.2feet	1.58496m	5.2’’	158.496	1548.96

Note: 1 feet :

    0.3048 meter

    30.48 cm

    304.8 mm

 

4.     Group discussion:  5 min

 Students will be divided into four groups with 10 member each. They will be given to 5 minutes to discuss on their topic.

Group 1: To write examples of measurable quantities.

Group 2: To write examples of non-measurable quantities.

Group 3: importance of measurement.

Group 4: To write examples different system of units.

I will manage the group by helping them.

 

5.     Group presentation /Presentation by students: 10 min.

1 student for each group (will not repeat) in each day will present the finding of group discussion.

6.     Feedback by teacher on presentation: 2-3 min.

 

After lecture student are allow to discuss on their topic, later after their presentation I will give short feedback on their presentation.

Conclusions:

 From the learning activities, students understand and apply the different system of units and know their interconversion, can do simple calculation for real life like finding area, volume, perimeter etc.

Teaching materials:

Board, marker, textbook, laptop, projector, speaker, pictures, measuring instruments like spring balance, weighing machine, scale, measuring cylinders, graph, stones, leaves etc.

Evaluation (how to assess?)

Evolution will be done on the basis of class presentation, cyclic test, project work and written exam.

 

 

Homework ( Creative )

Assignmnet:

Students are provided with list of questions before we start lesson. Each day they will see the question paper / list and solve what they taught today and solve them. If there is any kind of difficulties they will ask next in next class. In this method they are not force to show homework immediately next day . They can do freely and submit after ½ days of lesson completion. 

Project work:

1.     Take a measuring tape, measure the height of your family members and convert their height in different units  like

S.N	Family members	Height in feet	Height in meter	Height in cm	Height in mm	Height in inch
1	Father	6	1.82	182	1828.8	72
2
3
4
5

 

Remark: 1 meter= 100cm

1 cm = 10 mm

1 meter = 3.28 foot

1 meter = 39.37 inch.

2.     Visit a local marked, observe different shops and watch buying and selling of things and notice thing used for measurement and make a list.

Like. Juice= glass etc.

Banana = dozen

Revision: Next day we will be revised today’s course by asking question like

a.      Out of anger and water which one is physical quantity?

b.     Why we say air is physical quantity?

c.      Meter is which system’s unit of length?

d.     Why we measure rice before cooking?

e.      And so on.
