Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources
PHASE 1: STARTER Revise with learners on the previous lesson.
Share learning indicators and introduce the lesson.
PHASE 2: Pick a ball and perform these activities; Batteries Torch

class Let learners write down their observations for discussion. conversion
Guide learners to state Newton’s first law of motion.
Newton’s First Law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest,
and an object in motion will continues in a uniform motion in a straight line
unless it is acted upon by some external force to act otherwise.
It is also called the law of inertia.
In groups, learners discuss the types of inertia.
. Inertia of rest: An object stays where it is placed, and it
will stay there until you or something else moves it
. Inertia of motion: An object will continue at the same speed
until a force act on it.
. Inertia of direction: An object will stay moving in the
same direction unless a force acts on it.
Guide learners to demonstrate Newton’s first law of motion.
A book kept on atable remains placed at its place unless it is
displaced. Similarly, a ball rolling on a horizontal surface keeps on
running unless an external force stops it.
In groups, learners research the occurrence of things around us
using Newton’s first law of motion.
Example:
. Car air bags: The function of the air bag is to inflate in
an accident and prevent the driver’s head from hitting
the windshield.
. The motion a ball through the atmosphere or a model
rocket launched into the atmosphere
Guide learners to discuss some applications of Newton’s First
Law of Motion.
E.g. when a metallic ball is put on a smooth surface and given
a push it will be in motion until it gets to a blockade and it
stops. Use of seat belts in a vehicle, etc.
Explain the importance of Newton’s First Law of Motion
Assessment
[Link]’s first law of motion states than an object’smotion
will not change unless.
A. a force continues to be applied to the object.
B. its inertia is stronger than the applied force.
C. the net force acting on it is greater than zero.
D. the object has no inertia.
2. Overcoming an object’s inertia always requires a /an.
A. large mass
B. massive force
C. two of the above
D. unbalanced force
3. It is more difficult to start a 50kg box sliding across the
floor than a 5-kg box because the 50- kg box has greater.
A. inertia B. size C. velocity D. volume
PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out
REFLECTION from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.

Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources
PHASE 1: STARTER Using questions and answers, review learners understanding
in the previous lesson.
Share learning indicators and introduce the lesson.
PHASE 2: Bring to class a real magnet. battery, transistor,
NEW Call learners in turns to have a feel of the magnet and relate capacitor, inductors,
LEARNING to it. light emitting diode
. What is the name of this object? (LED) and diodes
. Do you know its uses?
Write learners responses and discuss them.
Drill learners on the correct pronunciation and meanings
of the terms;
. A magnet is any metallic substance which attracts
magnetic materials and repels non-magnetic materials
. Magnetic materials are materials that are attracted
by magnets. Examples iron, nickel and cobalt.
. A magnetic field is the area or region around a
magnet where the magnetic force can be experienced
or felt.
Put learners into groups. Give each group a piece of
magnet. They are to explore the magnet and observe its
behavior of properties/characteristics.
Let groups present their findings to the class for discussion.
Guide learners to demonstrate the properties of magnet.
Example:
1. They have poles at opposite ends.
2. Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other.
3. The force of attraction of a magnet is greater at the
poles than at the middle.
Engage learners to discuss and describe the types of
magnets that exist.
Learners in their groups demonstrate the uses of magnet
in everyday life.
Example:
1. They are used in making electric meters.
2. They are used in making electric door bells.
3. They are used in fridges and freezers as doors seals.
4. They are used in loud speakers.
Assessment
State some everyday applications of magnets.
Explain how magnets cause motion in magnetic materials
PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out
REFLECTION from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.
