2. CURRICULAR OBJECTIVES
                              To understand different types of magnets and properties of magnets through        
                            Discussions and activities and to apply in daily life situations.

3. CONTENT OVERVIEW
                            Types of magnets –properties-applications

4. CONTENT ANALYSIS
a) New terms       : North pole , South pole

b) Facts                : 1. Magnets are used to separate iron dust from sand
                                2 .Bar magnet is an artificial magnet

c) Concepts           :1. Magnets possess directional property. That a freely moving magnet
                                      always aligns itself  in the north south direction.
                                2.As far as magnets are concerned like poles repel and unlike poles 
                                   Attracts each other.

5. PROCESS ANALYSIS     
a) Process skills     : 1. Observes
                                : 2.Discusses
                                : 3. Experiments
                                : 4 Tabulates   

b) Processes            : 1. To observe experiments and video clips to understand properties of
                                      magnets.
                                 : 2. To involve in experiments for explaining magnetic properties.
                                 : 3. To discuss the situations where magnets is used.
                                 :4. To observe and tabulate different types of magnets.
6. LEARNING OUTCOMES                              
                                : 1. The learners can explain the fact that like poles repel and unlike
                                     Poles attract each other.
                                  2. Learner can explain directional property of a magnet and can apply
                                     The knowledge in different situations.
                                  3. Learning through discussions and activities helps the learner to
                                        Develop a mentality to accept others viewpoints.
7. LEARNING AIDS
                                 1. Video clips
                                 2. Pictures of different magnets and magnet using substances
                                 3. Bar magnets for explaining the properties of magnets
                                 4.chart containing properties of magnets.
8 .PREREQUISITES
                                Learner is aware about magnetic property and situations where magnet is
                                Used
9. EXPECTED PRODUCTS
                               1. Table of different types of magnets
                               2 .Science diary containing observation and discussion reports

10. CLASSROOM TRANSACTION
                            Activity/ Process
Response / Evaluation

Sensitization
Teacher enters into the class with a smile and wish the students. Then teacher checks their previous knowledge and plays a video clip of magnetic train in class and introduce the topic.
Grouping strategy
  Teacher divides whole class into 6 groups for discussions and activities.
Learning activity 1
    Teacher exhibits an image and asks students to observe it and list out the uses of magnets.
Points to be found out
In magnetic compass, toy car, refrigerator door, magnetic tapes, speakers, magnetic trains…

Learning activity 2

       Teacher exhibits pictures of different types of magnets and asks students to observe it and name the magnets on the basis of their shapes.
Points to be found out
Magnets are classified as bar magnet, magnetic needle, U magnet, ring magnet, disc magnet … on the basis of their shape

Learning activity 3
https://youtu.be/qPJ2cSHEcBI
       Teacher exhibits a video of an experiment and ask students to done the same experiment in groups using a bar magnet. Then asks them to record their findings in science diary.
Consolidation of ideas
       If a magnet is arranged in such a way that it can move freely it will align itself in north south direction of the earth. That is magnets possess directional property.  The end pointing towards north is north pole (N) and the other end is south pole (S).
   

Learning activity 4:
     Teacher exhibits a video of an experiment and explained the procedure. Then ask students to done the same experiment and write down the observations in science diary.

Consolidation of ideas
As far as magnets are concerned, like poles repel and unlike poles attracts each other.

Teacher exhibits a chart showing properties of magnets.

11. FOLLOWUP ACTIVITY
Written assignment
Prepare an album by collecting pictures of materials in which magnets are used.
