  PRE- LESSON Lesson: Prayer and classroomroutines Review class expectations Discussion: "What household tasks become easier because of technology?" Objectives • Understand how physics applies to household activities • Identify household appliances and their functions • Reflect on the importance of physics in everyday life Homework Review physics concepts: energy, force, and motion

  LEARNING EXPERIENCE PART 1 Observe &Identify: • Look at the pictures of household appliances shown. • How do these appliances help people at home? Key Points: ✔ They make tasks easier and faster. ✔ They use physical principles such as electricity, heat, and motion. ✔ Examples: microwave (heat/radiation), vacuum cleaner (air pressure/suction), iron (thermal energy). Objectives • Identify common household appliances and their functions. • Recognize the physics principles behind each appliance. • Connect everyday tasks to concepts in physics. Discussion How do appliances like the microwave, vacuum cleaner, and iron make household tasks easier? Which physics principle does each one use?
