1.1 Choose FIVE (5) words or ideas in your topic that you think learners will
not understand. Consider some placeholders (words to develop
concepts) you could use in your theme plan and think how you would
use activities to informally assess whether learners use the science
words correctly. Remember, we use placeholders because they hold the
place for the development of a scientific understanding of a concept.

Five words or ideas in the topic of Weather or Seasons that learners may not
understand:
1. Evaporation
2. Condensation
3. Atmospheric pressure
4. Coriolis effect
5. Fronts
To assess learners' understanding of these scientific words, the following activities could
be used:
1. Vocabulary Match: Provide a list of scientific words and their definitions related to
weather or seasons. Learners need to match the correct words with their definitions.
2. Weather Journal: Ask learners to keep a weather journal for a week, noting different
weather conditions each day. Encourage them to use scientific words in describing the
weather conditions.
3. Weather Reports: Have learners work in pairs or small groups to create weather reports
using scientific terms. They can present their reports to the class, ensuring they
accurately use the words in context.
4. Picture Descriptions: Show pictures depicting various weather phenomena and ask
learners to describe what they see using scientific words. This activity will assess their
ability to apply the vocabulary in visual contexts.
5. Role-play: Organize a role-play activity where learners act as weather forecasters. They
must use scientific words appropriately while predicting and reporting weather
conditions.
These activities will provide opportunities for learners to practice using scientific words
in meaningful contexts and allow the teacher to informally assess their understanding
and usage of the terms.
