- Encourage discussions on the importance of adaptation in the plant kingdom.
Plant Growth Journal:
- Provide each student with a small potted plant or seeds.
- Have them maintain a plant growth journal, documenting the plant's growth over several weeks.
- In their journals, students can record daily observations, measurements, and notes on factors affecting plant growth.
Create Botanical Art:
- Combine art and science by having students create botanical illustrations or paintings of different plant species.
- Encourage attention to detail and accuracy in depicting plant structures.
- Discuss the historical significance of botanical art and its role in documenting plant diversity.

UNIT 5.- ANIMAL KINGDOM

1.- Vocabulary

2.- 8 sessions planning

ACTIVITIES:

Animal Classification Game:
- Create a card game or quiz where students are given pictures or descriptions of animals and must classify them into different categories (mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, invertebrates).
- Encourage discussions about the characteristics that define each group.
Create a Mini Zoo:
- Assign students or groups an animal species and have them research and present information about their chosen animals.
- Encourage students to create a mini zoo display with drawings, models, or dioramas showcasing the animals' habitats, behaviors, and adaptations.
Animal Adaptation Research:
- Explore the concept of animal adaptations by assigning each student an animal with unique adaptations.
- Have students research and present on the specific adaptations that allow their assigned animals to survive and thrive in their environments.
Comparative Anatomy:
- Provide students with various preserved or plastic models of animal skulls, bones, or organs.
- Lead discussions on the similarities and differences in the anatomical structures of different animal groups.
- Explore how adaptations are reflected in the anatomy of various species.
Animal Behavior Observation:
- Organize a field trip to a local zoo, wildlife reserve, or natural area.
- Have students observe and take notes on the behaviors of different animals.
- Discuss their findings and what they have learned about animal behavior, communication, and social structures.
Create an Animal Field Guide:
- Assign each student or group an animal species to research and document.
- Encourage them to compile information about the animal's habitat, diet, behavior, and conservation status.
- Have students create illustrated field guide entries that include detailed drawings and descriptions.

3rd TERM

UNIT 6.- ENERGY AND CHANGES IN MATTER

1.- Vocabulary

2.- 8 Sessions Planning

ACTIVITIES:

Chemical Reaction Demonstrations:
- Perform a series of simple chemical reactions in the classroom, such as mixing baking soda and vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas.
- Discuss how energy is involved in these reactions and how it leads to changes in matter.
- Encourage students to predict, observe, and explain the outcomes.
Energy Transfer with Simple Machines:
- Set up hands-on experiments with simple machines like levers, pulleys, or ramps.
- Have students explore how energy is transferred and transformed as they lift objects, move them, or change their positions.
- Discuss the concept of potential and kinetic energy.
Thermal Energy Investigation:
- Conduct an experiment to demonstrate how different materials conduct heat at varying rates.
- Provide students with materials like metal, wood, and plastic and have them compare how these materials transfer thermal energy.
- Discuss how insulators and conductors play a role in conserving or dissipating heat.
Photosynthesis Simulation:
- Set up a photosynthesis simulation using potted plants, light sources, and carbon dioxide sources.
- Explain the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert energy from sunlight into chemical energy (glucose) and oxygen.
- Have students measure oxygen production over time to understand the role of energy in this process.
Energy Transformation Board Game:
- Create a board game where students move through different scenarios involving energy transformations.
- Include cards or spaces that represent changes in matter, such as burning wood or melting ice.
- As students progress through the game, discuss how energy is transferred and transformed in each scenario.
Chemical vs. Physical Changes:
- Provide a series of examples of changes in matter and ask students to classify them as either chemical or physical changes.
- Discuss the differences between these two types of changes and how energy is involved in each.

UNIT 7.- ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

ACTIVITIES

Make a Simple Circuit:
- Provide students with a battery, a small lightbulb, and a piece of wire with alligator clips.
- Instruct them to connect the battery, lightbulb, and wire to create a basic circuit.
- Discuss how the flow of electrons creates electricity and makes the lightbulb glow.
Exploring Magnets:
- Provide magnets of various shapes and sizes to the students.
- Let them experiment with the magnets by attracting or repelling objects made of metal (paperclips, small coins).
- Discuss how magnets have north and south poles and how they interact with each other and with magnetic materials.
Paperclip Chain Challenge:
- Give each student a paperclip and a small magnet.
- Challenge them to see how many paperclips they can pick up with their magnet within a set time limit.
- Discuss the magnetic force and how it attracts the paperclips.
Static Electricity with Balloons:
- Inflate a balloon and rub it against your hair or a piece of fabric to create static electricity.
- Show how the balloon can attract small pieces of paper or make someone's hair stand up when brought close.
- Explain the concept of static electricity and how it works.
Magnet vs. Non-Magnetic Objects:
- Provide a collection of objects, some magnetic (e.g., paperclips, iron nails) and some non-magnetic (e.g., plastic, wood).
- Have students test each object with a magnet and sort them into two groups based on whether they are attracted to the magnet or not.
- Discuss the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
Build a Mini Compass:
- Provide a small bowl of water, a sewing needle, and a small piece of cork.
- Instruct students to magnetize the needle by rubbing it against a magnet.
- Place the magnetized needle on the cork and float it in the bowl of water.
- Observe how the needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, acting like a simple compass.
