QUESTION 1:
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. (10)
1.1 Five words or ideas in the topic of Weather or Seasons that learners may not
understand are:
1.1.1. Climate: This term refers to the long-term patterns of weather in a particular
area, including temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other atmospheric
conditions.
1.1.2. Atmosphere: The layer of gases surrounding a planet, in this case, the Earth.
It plays a crucial role in weather patterns and climate.
1.1.3. Condensation: The process by which water vapor in the air cools and
changes into liquid form, usually leading to the formation of clouds or dew.
1.1.4. Evaporation: The process by which liquid water changes into water vapor,
usually due to the heat from the sun.
1.1.5. Equinox: The two times a year (in spring and autumn) when day and night
are of equal duration, marking the transition between seasons.
To assess learners' understanding of these terms, you can incorporate the following
activities:
1.1.1. Climate Diary: Ask learners to keep a weather diary for a week, recording
the temperature, precipitation, wind direction, and other relevant observations.
Afterward, discuss the patterns they noticed and help them connect those patterns
to the concept of climate.
