Key words: ·                     Wood ·                     Gravel ·                     Sand ·                     Metal ·                     Plastic ·                     Glass ·                     Leaves ·                     Ceramics ·                     Cement
			Instructional Materials: 1.                  Drawing and pictures of building materials 2.                  Films, videos and slides of workmen using building materials
			Previous learning: The students can list some parts of a building
Learning Activities in steps: Step 1 – Teacher reviews previous lesson, and states learning objectives – including study questions. Step 2 –. Class discussion on building materials As the name implies, building materials are the materials used in constructing a building. Some building materials are wood, gravel, sand, metal, cement, glass, leaves and ceramics. Step 3 – The teacher leads the students in a class discussion on examples of building materials 1.                  Wood: this is used for roofing and making doors along with windows.  Wood is also used for making furniture, wooden floors and for making cases for concretes. 2.                  Gravel: these are small stones which, when mixed with cement and sand plus water becomes concrete. 3.                  Sand: this is a substance that consists of very small grains of rock. It is mixed with cement and water to mould blocks and make mortar for rendering. 4.                  Metal: this is used for reinforcing foundations and lintels along with pillars and beams. Metals can also be used for making roofs, doors, Step 4 – Teacher gives the students class exercises. Step 5 – Teacher summarizes and evaluates lesson.

			Instructional Materials: 1.                  Drawing and pictures of Woodwork hand tools. 2.                  Films, videos and slides of workmen using woodwork hand tools.
			Previous learning: The students can list some parts of a building
Learning Activities in steps: Step 1 – Teacher reviews previous lesson, and states learning objectives – including study questions. Step 2 –. More class discussion on uses of various building materials Woodwork Marking Out tools: After taking measurements, the next step is to mark out the beginning and the end of the measured length. Examples of marking out tools are as follows: 1.                  Cement: this is a product of limestone and clay. It sets hard when mixed with water. Cement is a binding agent for block moulding, concrete, plastering and mortar and for block laying. 2.                  Glass: this is used for making doors, windows and walls. 3.                  Leaves: these are used for thatched roofs and walls. 4.                  Ceramics: this is used for the production of items like water closet, floor and wall tiles, bricks, flower vases, ovens, Asbestos, P.O.P (Plaster of Paris) etc. Step 3 – Class exercises. Step 4–Teacher summarizes and evaluates lesson.				Learning Timing:         5  minutes 15 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes
