This lesson plan outlines a 45-minute lesson for a 10th grade class to learn the differences between innovation, invention, and discovery and how to use "why" questions to understand them. The lesson will involve reviewing previous topics, presenting the new topic, having students read from their textbooks and ask questions about the reading, and consolidating what they have learned to determine if they understand the key differences.

Date: 9/23/2013
Lesson number: 22
Length of the lesson 45‟
Level: elementary.
Aims: by the end of the lesson students should be able to know the differences between Innovation, invention and discovery and how
to use why questions in other to understand these differences.
Teaching Aids: black board, hand-outs, desks, chalks and some additional materials
Topic:Innovation, invention and discovery
Teacher‟s name: Velasco Carneiro Francisco& Darmin Domingo
Unit: 4
Material to be used: student's book page 55, booklet, student look and other resources.

2. 2
Anticipated problems: students might have difficulty to use why questions to make different questions related to: innovation;
invention and discovery within technology.
Solution: teacher gives the copy of pages so that students can read in advance and draw preliminaries verdicts about topic.
Solution: teacher gives some examples of innovation; invention and discovery within technology to help them.
Assumption: I am sure that the students know something about “why “questions and how to address question in different aspects
concerning with technology and other issues and some differences between Innovation, invention and discovery too.

ask them to address some
questions through text using why
questions and after that they will
answer too. They will receive a
task to do at home in other to

Text of page 55, students book, grade 10
In Mozambique about 87%of farmers are subsistence farmers who cultivate their lands with traditional tools. They rely on the rains
and if these don‟t come, no crops are sown. However, technology has proved efficient in minimizing the suffering of farmers who
choose to use it.
Irrigation sprinklers can be used on farms, golf courses, residential yards, and other places to water crops, lawns, gardens or other
plants in the event of drought. Most importantly, sprinkler irrigation has helped most undeveloped communities increase their
production. A clear example is the sugar cane industry in Mozambique and South Africa.
Poor rains and droughts no longer stop then from producing cane for their sugar mills.
