Example of
development in a lesson

Explain the key concept

with demonstration and
to show conceptual
knowledge

1. Explain the law

of conservation
and use a
scenario to
show energy
can be
conserved.
2. Scenario:
imagine
someone
kicking a ball
and it start
moving until is
stop. The
energy is
conservers
because the
first step was
that the ball
was stationary
and had
 potential
energy, once it
was kicked it
gain energy
(kinetic energy)
it moved until
is stopped
moving at this
point the
energy is stored
again (potential
energy). This
scenario show
that energy can
never be lost
but is it only
transformed
from one
another to
another.
3. I will explain
how this law
can be applied
in systems
4. I will repeat the
definition of
system and
give an
example of a
system.
5. Example of a
system: donkey
pulling a cart
6. I will explain
 types of
systems
7. I will use one
of the systems
to apply the law
of conservation
8. I will give the
learners an
activity which
is a group work
they will have
to analyze the
give char on the
board which is
a system . the
learners are
expected to
draw a flow
diagram where
the show the
energy
transformation
and energy
conservation.
