Learning Objectives | Suggested Learning Activities | Learning Outcomes | Vocabulary |
Pupils should learn to make observations and use these to group things into living and non-living things. | Pupils walk around the school compound and list out the things that they see. Pupils group them into living things and non-living things. Pupils give reasons why they say something is a living things e.g. it needs food and water, it breathes, it moves, it grows and it can produce young. Pupils look at the grouping that they did earlier. Pupils redo their grouping based on the characteristics of living things. Pupils watch video of animals eating, moving, growing and producing young.
