1) The lesson plan is for a 2nd grade science class on whether the sun moves. Students will explore how the sun appears to move during the day through observation and modeling its rising and setting. 2) Through group work with compasses, students will demonstrate how the earth spins to make it seem the sun is moving from east to west. They will draw the sun's path and an arrow showing the earth's rotation. 3) Students will be assessed on their understanding that the sun's apparent motion is due to the earth's rotation, not the sun moving. They will observe and record the sun's position at different times of day.

1. Lesson Plan for Science Subject for Grade 2
Subject: Science Topic: Does the Sun move?
Warm-up: 5-10 min
Show learners a clock and the sunny day.
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. Explore how the Sun appears to move
during the day.
2. Use first- hand experience.
3. Collect evidence by making observations
when trying to answer a science
question.
Methods and activity:
1.Brainstorming: Learners may give answers relating to
movement of burning gases on the surface of the Sun.
1.1 Show learners a compass and teach them the names
of the four main directions. Help learners use a compass
to work out the Sun rises in the east and sets in the
west.
2. Group work: Learners can use a compass cardand
themselves to model the Sun risingin the east and
setting in the west.
2.1 Ask the learners to stand holding the compassin
front of them. Ask learnersto pretendthat their own
head is the Earth and to turn their compass so that
north is the pointing upwards becausethe top of their
head is the North Pole.
2.2 Have a large picture of the Sun on one wall of the
classroom and ask learners to turn so that east on
their compass points towards the Sun. then ask
learners to turn towards the Sun-they should spin
slowly like the Earth so that the Sun seems to move
towards the west. They should complete half a turn.
3. Learners make comparisons and simple associations
by drawing what they do when it gets dark at night
and when it gets light in the morning.

2. 4. Make and record observations.
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.
4. Learners draw how the Sun appears to move across
the sky during the day. They also draw an arrow to
show how the Earth spins on its axis.
5. Learners can plan a class performance to tell others
what happens. Learners can work as a class to
demonstrate how the Sun looks as if it is moving across
the sky from east to west, starting low at sunrise in
the morning, rising until midday then getting lower
again until sunset in the evening.
6. Learners can use Worksheet 6.1 to demonstrate
the different times on the planet.
7. Learners should be warned never to look directly at
bright light sources, especially the Sun, as this can
damage their eyes.
8. Take learners outside to identify the simple
patterns by drawing the position of the Sun at
least three times in a day.
