Unit 2
Identify characteristics of spoilt food
At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to identify characteristics of spoilt food.
-Spoilt food can be
detected by smell, taste, touch or sight.
- The characteristics
of spoilt food are :
-- unpleasant smell

conditions needed for
microorganisms to grow.

3. Teacher shows power-point to
explain the conditions needed
formicroorganisms to grow.

4. Pupils carry out an experiment to
study the conditions needed for
microorganisms to grow.

5. Pupils discuss and conclude that
microorganismsneed air, water,
nutrient, suitable temperature
and suitable acidity to grow.

6. Attributing.


Exercise

Microorganisms need air, water, nutrient, suitable temperature and suitable acidity to grow.
1.Teacher elicits pupilsprior
knowledge.about their
experiences with spoilt
food.( Using space-time
relationship)

explains to pupils that
microorganisms require a
specific condition to live

3. Ask pupils the five conditions for
microorganisms to grow.

4.Teacher highlights on
microorganisms' need for air,
water, nutrient , suitable acidity
and suitable temperature to
grow. Explain that
microorganisms grow in the
conditions that they need. Ask
pupils whether microorganisms
can grow without water, air,
nutrient, suitable acidity and
suitable temperature.

the different types conditions for
microorganisms to grow

6. Attributing.Pupils need to do the
exercises of Questions and
Answers”. Pupils can discuss
with their friends to do this
activity.

8. Explore the method to measure
acidity and alkalinity of a
solution.

9. Teacher make the
conclusion.

contaminated by
microorganisms.
(Appreciating practising clean
and healthyliving)

Teaching Strategies

Set Induction5 minutes
Show picture of three examples of food with fresh and spoilt conditions. Tell pupils what cause the food spoil. Emphasise that microorganisms cause food to spoil. Encourage pupils to suggest some other possible causes of food spoilage. Discuss it in the class.
Component : Introduction
Materials: pitures
Step 1 ( 20 minutes )
Play the content component. Pupis watch the power point of food preservation. Teacher explains to pupils that microorganisms require a specific condition to live. Ask pupils what is the effect of microganisms to food. Teacher explains that microganisms cause damages to food by releasing chemical substances that act on the food. Emphasise that these chemical substances arae harmful to human body. Ask pupils whether any of item had food poisoning before.
Ask pupils the five conditions for microorganisms to grow.
Teacher highlight on microorganisms' need for air. Explain that microorganisms grow in damp air in dark place. Ask pupils whether microorganisms can grow without water.
Teacher highlights microorganisms' need for nutrients. Ask pupils what food has the nutrients required by microorganisms. Explain that milk has the required nutrients. Ask pupils whether microorganisms can grow without nutrients.
Teacher highlights on microorganisms' need for suitable temperature. Ask pupils what is the required temperature. Explain that the optimum temperature is room temperature. Ask pupils whether microorganisms can grow at other variable temperatures.
Teacher highlights on microorganisms's need for suitable level of acidity. Ask pupils what is the required level of acidity. Explain that microorganisms cannot grow in a very acidic medium. Ask pupils what solutions are acidic.
Teacher makes a summary of the different types conditions for microorganisms to grow.
Component : Content
Step 2 ( 10 minutes )
Play the activity component. Help pupils to identify conditions for microorganisms to live. Pupils need to do the exercises of Questions and Answers”. Pupils can discuss with their friends to do this activity.
Component : Activity
Step 3 (10 minutes )
There are 3parts of activities in this component covering the learning outcomes. Part 1 is objectives questions .Part 2 is a drag and drop activity. Pupils drag and drop the correct answers for the questions. Part 3 consists of true or false questions. Pupils need to identify whether the statement are true or false.
Component : Evaluation
Step 4 (10 minutes )
Explore the method to measure acidity and alkalinity of a solution. Teacher introduces to pupils the use of litmus paper and pH paper. Teacher explains to pupils the pH scale. pH 1 indicates that the solutions is acidity. pH 14 indicates that the solutions alkaline. pH 7 indicates that the solutions is neutral. Emphasise that microorganisms grow well under neutral condition. Suggest to pupils to carry put a finding on different types of solutions and present their finding in the class.
Component : Extension
Conclusion (5 minutes )
Conclude the lesson by playing this component to further reinforce understanding of the lesson. Help pupils to identify what causes food spoilage. Highlight the five conditions that enable the microorganisms to grow.

Chinese Lesson ( Practical )


There is a day after a chinese lesson.
 The contents of the lesson is a poem about kites and life. 

We decided to relate the learning lesson to practical . 
My students applied their minds to finding a solution 
to their problems in create all the kites. 

That was one of the happiest moments of my life .
 The conclusion they make after make their kites is 
" U WOULD PASS YOUR EXAMS IF YOU APPLIED YOURSELF ! " 
They all enjoyed themselves. 

Children like to share interests and enjoyment with others.

Classroom Management

Let's share the ideas of classroom management :)

Homework Board 
Keep students and parents informed. I have a homework board (Monday-Friday) side blackboard on which I list all homework for the day, tests to study for, and special days. Children copy all of this into their planners each day before leaving.  Also at the side is a list of: tests and what they will cover, and and hands on activities for the year. The parents can come in any recess time and know at a glance what is going on.


Until the chldrens' day , my students shar their class decoration ideas on the board. They also write on the food they wish to bring during childrens' day . The using of the board had motivate them to be independent as well . 


By the way, there's some of the nice example of classroom board i found through google-ing. Lets sharing !
