Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge:

Students should have a basic understanding of everyday activities and movements.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE:

To deliver this lesson, the teacher will adopt the following steps:

Content Development	Time	Teaching Method	Teaching Strategy	Teacher’s Activity	Pupils’ Activity	Learning Point
Step 1: Set Induction	5 mins	Set Induction	Questioning/Connecting to Prior Knowledge	Ask pupils what they know about energy and where they see it in their daily lives (e.g., running, playing, using lights).	Respond to questions and recall prior knowledge.	Link prior knowledge of movement and energy.
Step 2: Introduction	5 mins	Explanation	Connecting to Daily Life	Introduce the concept of energy, explaining its role in daily activities.	Listen and engage with the introduction.	Understand the importance of energy in our lives.
Step 3: Defining Energy	10 mins	Discussion	Visual Aids and Interactive Discussion	Discuss the meaning of energy using simple language and pictures (e.g., energy makes us move, play, and work).	Share ideas on what energy means.	Learn the definition of energy.
Step 4: Forms of Energy	10 mins	Discussion and Examples	Examples and Interactive Engagement	Briefly explain the different forms of energy (e.g., electrical, solar, mechanical) and show examples like a running fan (mechanical energy) and a light bulb (electrical energy).	Identify examples of energy forms in daily life.	Understand that energy exists in various forms.
Step 5: Focus on Electrical Energy	5 mins	Explanation	Demonstration and Visual Aid	Explain electrical energy and its uses in everyday life (e.g., lights, appliances).	Listen and discuss examples of electrical energy.	Understand the meaning and uses of electrical energy.
Step 6: Note Copying	3 mins	Writing Exercise	Copying Key Points	Summarize the lesson’s key points and ask pupils to copy them into their notebooks.	Copy notes on energy and its uses.	Practice writing key points and improving handwriting.
Step 7: Evaluation	3 mins	Question and Answer	Active Engagement	Ask questions: “What is energy?” “Can you give an example of energy in your home?”	Answer questions individually.	Reinforce understanding of energy concepts.
Step 8: Conclusion	2 mins	Recap and Discussion	Summarization and Encouragement	Recap the lesson, emphasizing the importance of energy and electrical energy in our lives.	Share what they’ve learned.	Summarize the lesson and internalize its importance.

Lesson Content

Energy

Energy is the power or ability to do work or make things happen. It is what allows us to move, play, and perform activities. Everything we do requires energy, from running to turning on a light.

Forms of Energy

Energy exists in different forms and can be changed from one form to another. For example, electrical energy can be converted into light, heat, or motion. Some forms of energy can work together to perform tasks, like a car using fuel (chemical energy) to move (mechanical energy).

Electrical Energy

What is Electrical Energy?

Electrical energy is the energy that comes from the movement of electrons in a conductor or in simple terms, Electrical energy is the power that makes things like lights, fans, and toys work. It comes from wires and flows from places like batteries or power stations to make things run. It is the energy that powers many devices, like lights, computers, and other electrical appliances.

Sources of Electrical Energy

Electrical energy comes from various sources, including power plants, batteries, and solar panels. These sources convert other forms of energy, like mechanical or solar, into electrical energy.

Uses of Electrical Energy

Electrical energy is used to power many devices in our daily lives, such as lights, fans, refrigerators, and televisions. It helps us in homes, schools, and industries, making many tasks easier and more efficient.

Evaluation:

What is the meaning of energy?

Can you give an example of an activity that uses energy?
What are some uses of electrical energy?

Note to Teachers:

Customize the lesson content, teaching methods, and pupil activities to suit your teaching style, curriculum, and available resources.
Use visuals and examples to make the concept of energy more relatable to young learners.
