Science 2 - Learning Plan March 19-23, 2017

1. Lesson Plan for Science Subject for Grade 2
Subject: Science Topic: Day and Night
Warm-up: 5-10 min
Ask learners specifically about the shape of the Earth. Ask them to explain how they
know. Show learners a picture of the Earth from space that shows it is a sphere.
Comments: Assure that the students understand what the teacher is talking to, and
encourage them to participate in the class discussion.
Learning outcomes Teaching strategy
Cognitive Objective :
Student should be able to :
1. Model how the spin of the Earth leads
to day and night with different-sized
balls and a torch.
2. Use first- hand experience.
3. Predict what will happened before
deciding what to do.
4. Make and record observations.
Methods and activity:
1.Brainstorming: Ask learners whether they have visited,
or have relatives in different countries around the
world. Explain that when some countries have day,
others have night. Show learners a globe with two toy
figures, one on each side, and demonstrate that when
one is in day the other is in night.
2. Ask three learners to stand inside a hula hoop
facing out with the hoop at their waists. Choose a
fourth learner to shine a torch at the others.
The learner with the torch is stationary and the
learners in the hoop rotate. As the hoop rotates,
the learners inside can mime what would be doing
at the time of day.
3. Group work: work with largergroups standing
inside a loop of stringor simply linking arms. Other
learners can standstill around the outside of the
rotatingEarth group holdingtime cards, yellow for
day and blue for night.
4. Show learners images from web cameras around the
world. Choose two on opposite sides of the globe to
demonstrate that night and day can happen at the
same time but in different places. Show learners
the time on each web cam and explain that they are
all now but the times are different in different
parts of the world.

2. 5. Identify simple patterns and
associations.
Skills Objective:
6. Talk about predictions (orally and in
text), the outcome and why this happened.
7. Ask questions and suggest ways to
answer them.
8. Make suggestions for collecting
evidence.
5. Ask learners to identify simple patterns and
associations by drawing what they are doing when
the Earth is in different parts of its rotation.
6. Learners will think that the Sun is in the sky in the
day and the Moon is in the sky at night. Some may
think that the Sun turns into the Moon at night.
Talk with them about how it can be hard to see the
Moon in the day because the Sun is so bright.
7. Learners can use Worksheet 6.1 to record their
observations and to review and explain what
happened.
