Note to Pupils:
Drying Moulded Objects With Sun
Drying moulded objects with the sun involves the use of sunlight to remove moisture or water content from objects that have been shaped or molded.
Explanation:
- Arranging Objects: After molding objects, place them in an open area under the sunlight.
- Sunlight as a Natural Dryer: Sunlight serves as a natural source of heat, which aids in evaporating the water content from the molded objects.
- Importance:
- Practical Skill: It teaches a practical skill of utilizing natural resources for a specific purpose.
- Understanding Basic Technology: The process helps understand how the environment, in this case, the sun, can be used to perform a basic technological function—drying.
Evaluation:
- What is the topic of today’s lesson?
- Can you mention one thing you learned about drying moulded objects with sunlight?
- What is the importance of arranging objects under the sun?
