Lesson Activities by Day

Date	Phase 1: Starter (7 mins) Preparing the brain	Phase 2: Main (16 mins) New learning + assessment	Resources	Phase 3: Plenary (5 mins) Reflection + exercise
Mon 18 May 2026	1Recall prior knowledge about magnets and magnetic objects from everyday life 2Show learners an iron nail and a plastic pen; ask which one sticks to a magnet brought from home and why	WHAT MAGNETS ARE AND THEIR TYPES 1Display the Science kit/specimens containing a bar magnet, horseshoe magnet, and electromagnet on the chart/diagram; explain that magnets are materials that attract iron and steel 2Learners observe and sketch the three types of magnets in their exercise books, labelling the poles (North and South) using the chart as reference 3Ask: Which magnet type do you think is strongest? Learners predict, then test with iron filings to confirm	1Science kit/specimens (bar magnet, horseshoe magnet, electromagnet, iron filings) 2Chart/diagram showing magnet poles and types 3Textbook (Force and Motion chapter) 4Exercise book	1Learners work in pairs using the textbook to list two uses of magnets in Ghanaian markets (e.g., securing money boxes, sorting metal coins) 2A representative from three pairs shares their use aloud; class repeats each use chorally Exercise 1Name two types of magnets from the Science kit and describe one characteristic (attraction, repulsion, or pole direction) you observed in their exercise books.
Tue 19 May 2026	1Recall examples of simple machines found in local Ghanaian homes and farms 2Show learners a chart/diagram with 5 pictures: a crowbar, a bucket pulley at a well, a ramp for loading goods onto a trotro, a grinding stone wheel, and a scissors. Ask: Which of these tools do you see at home or in the market?	IDENTIFYING SIMPLE MACHINES IN EVERYDAY WORK 1Using the textbook and science kit/specimens, display 6 simple machines: lever (crowbar used by Kwame at the market), pulley (bucket at well), inclined plane (ramp), wheel and axle (grinding mill), wedge (cutlass), and screw (bottle opener). Ask learners to name each one and write the name in their exercise book 2Show a short scenario: Ama needs to lift a heavy bag of cassava onto a cart. Which simple machine helps her — a lever or a wheel? Learners discuss in pairs and one group representative explains why the lever helps her lift more easily 3Learners draw or label ONE simple machine from their home or market (e.g. mortar and pestle as a lever, or a pulley from a well) in their exercise book with the machine's name written below	1Textbook 2Science kit/specimens 3Chart/diagram showing 6 simple machines 4Exercise book	1Ask: Show fingers 1–5 to rate how confident you are at naming 3 simple machines — 5 is very confident, 1 is not sure 2Invite a learner who is confident to stand and name two simple machines they use at home; ask a learner who showed lower confidence to name one they recognise from the chart Exercise 1Name three simple machines and give one example of how each is used by a person in your village or town (e.g. lever — Kofi uses a crowbar to dig soil; pulley — bucket at well; wheel — grinding mill for grain) in their exercise books.
