Behavioral Objectives

Teaching and Learning Strategies Science Process Skills(SPS)

Thinking Skills (TS)

Science Attitudes and Noble Values : (i) Appreciate the balance of nature. (SANV) (ii) Being honest and accurate in recording and validating data. (iii) Being co-operative.

Teaching and Learning Resources : Ball, coin, ruler, cooking oil, two jars with lid, six toy cars, (TLR) six wooden ramps, six beach towels, six wax papers, six stopwatches, some thick books to hold up the ramps and result sheets. Pre-requisite Knowledge : Pupils knows friction is a type of force.

Steps / Duration 1. Orientation (5 minutes)

Content Attract pupils interest in the topic today.

Teaching and Learning Activities Teacher moves a ball on the floor lightly and ask pupils to observe. After the ball stop rolling, teacher asks questions: Q1: Why the ball stop rolling? A1: Because of the friction. Teacher put a coin on a ruler. Then teacher hold up one end of the ruler to make a 20 slope. Teacher ask student to observe. Teacher asks questions: Q2: Why the coin static on the ruler? A2: Because of the friction. Teacher states that the lesson today is Friction in Action.

2. Eliciting Ideas (10 minutes)

Observing the different surfaces affect the amount of friction.

Teacher asks a pupil A to open the lid of a jar with dry hand and another pupil B with oily hand. Teacher asks pupils to observe and give idea. Teacher asks questions: Q1: Who can open the jar easily? A1: Pupil A.

TLR: Cooking oil Two jars with lid SPS: TS Comparing and Contrasting. Generating ideas

Observing Making conclusion

Q2: Why pupil B cant open the jar? A2: Because the smooth/oily surface of his/her hand reduce SANV: the friction between the hand Being co-operative and the lid of the jar. 3. Restructuring of ideas (25 minutes) Friction is a force that opposes motion. Teacher explains friction slows down a moving object and concludes that friction is a force. TLR: Toy car Wooden ramp Beach towel

 Identify the type of surface lessen the friction.

Teacher explains the strength of frictional force depends on the types of surface involved. Teacher divides the pupils into six groups. Teacher instructs the pupils to perform an experiment to identify the type of surface lessen the friction. Each group will be provided with a toy car, a wooden ramp, a beach towel, a wax paper, a stopwatch, some books to hold up the wooden ramp and a result sheet.

SANV: Being honest and Experiment method: accurate in (Refer Diagram 1) recording and validating data. 1. Use the books to hold the wooden Being co-operative ramp with a mild slope. 2. Put the toy car on the top of the ramp. 3. Let the toy car rolls down the slope and start the stopwatch at the same time. 4. Stop the stopwatch when the toy car reaches the end of the ramp. 5. Record the time taken in the result sheet. (Refer Schedule 1) 6. Repeat step 3 and 4 thrice to get the average time. 7. Spread the beach towel on the wooden ramp and repeat step 2 to 6. 8. Spread the wax paper on the wooden ramp and repeat step 2 to 6. 9. Compare the time of the three different surfaces and make conclusion. Pupils discuss the result in groups and making inference from the experiment.

Teacher leads the pupils to make conclusion that a smooth surface (wax paper) creates less friction while a rough surface (beach towel) creates more friction. 4. Application of ideas (15 minutes) Discuss the everyday life experiences that involved friction. Teacher instructs the pupils work in group to discuss: How does the different type of surfaces produce different amount of friction helps in our daily activity? Teacher asks representative from each group to present their discussions. 1. Shoes base have rough surface that can increase the friction and helps us to walk and run without slipping. 2. The steps of escalators are grooved to increase friction to prevent slipping. 3. Holding a bottle with dry hand allow us to grip the bottle firmly. However, it is hard to hold it with wet hands. 4. The smooth surface of bowling runway enable bowling keeps rolling. Teachers concludes that the friction play an important role in our daily life. 5. Reflection (5 minutes) Recall back todays lesson. Teacher summarizes todays lesson by asking: Q1: Friction is a force that opposes or endorses the motion? A1: Opposes the motion. Q2: What type of surface creates more friction? A2: Rough surface creates more friction than smooth surface. SANV: Being co-operative SPS: TS: Generating ideas Relating Communicating

SANV: Being co-operative Appreciate the balance of nature

Q3: Why it is difficult to walk on a slippery floor? A3: Because smooth surface creates less friction. Q4: Give one example that friction helps in our daily activity. A4: Shoes base have rough surface that can increase the friction and helps us to walk and run without slipping.
