Learning Objectives:  At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1.       Mention 4 professions that can be carried out in a workshop. 2.       Give reasons why workshop users should use goggles when carrying out some specific tasks in the workshop 3.       List 5 workshop safety precautions. 4.       Differentiate between ductility and fusibility. 5.       Describe how metal is a conductor of heat. Study Questions:  1.       Mention 4 professions that can be carried out in a workshop. 2.       Why should workshop users use goggles when carrying out some specific tasks in the workshop? 3.       List 5 workshop safety precautions. 4.       As related to metal, differentiate between ductility and fusibility. 5.       Describe how metal is a conductor of heat.			Key words: ·         Workshop ·         Wood ·         Density ·         Ductility ·         Metals ·         Ceramics ·         Glass
			Instructional Materials: 1.      Drawing and pictures of engineering materials like wood, metal, glass etc. 2.      Films, videos and slides of engineering materials like wood, metal, glass etc.
			Previous learning: The students can list engineering materials
Learning Activities in steps: Step 1 – Teacher reviews previous lesson, and states learning objectives – including study questions. Step 2 –. Class discussion on workshop safety. A workshop is a place where engineering works are being carried out by the professionals or experts. Things are made or repaired in a workshop. It is imperative we maintain safety in the workshop to avoid loss of lives or and properties. Some workshop safety rules: 1.       If chips of wood are likely to fly, wear safety goggles 2.       Always hold the work piece securely in the vice Step 3 – The teacher leads the students in a class discussion on properties of wood 1.       DENSITY: this is an excellent indicator of wood strength. Density refers to how think a piece of wood is; the thicker it is the stronger it will be. 2.       THERMAL PROPERTIES/TEMPERATURE EFFECT: Although wood is an excellent heat insulator, its strength and other properties are affected adversely by exposure for extended periods to temperatures above about 37°C. Step 4 – Class discussion on properties of metals 1.       Density: this refers to the weight of the metal or its specific gravity 2.       Fusibility: this is the ability of a metal to be melted when heated until they become liquid 3.       Magnetism: the property of a metal which enables it attract iron Step 5 – Teacher gives the students class exercises. Step 6 – Teacher summarizes and evaluates lesson.					Learning Timing:         10  minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes 15 minutes  10 minutes

Differentiation: Level 1:  students  that should be able to achieve 80 – 100 % Level 2:   students that should be able to achieve 60 – 79 %  Level 3:   students that should be able to achieve 50 – 59 %.

LESSON PLAN
WEEK : 2		TERM : 2		SESSION : 2017/2018
SUBJECT: Basic Technology		TOPIC: Building Materials
CLASS: JS1	DATE:  15/01/2018 – 19/01/2018		LESSON PERIOD:  1 - 2
Learning Objectives:  At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1.      List building materials 2.      Outline three uses of wood. 3.      Explain why cement is a binding agent 4.      Mention the raw materials for making cement 5.      Mention 4 ceramic items in the home. Study Questions:  1.      What are building materials? 2.      Outline three uses of wood. 3.      Why is cement a binding agent? 4.      Between glass and leaves which will you use for a modern building? Give your reasons. 5.      What are the raw materials for making cement? 6.      Mention 4 ceramic items in the home.			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.
