Year/Grade 4
Science
20 students
This lesson is aligned with the national curriculum standards for Year 4 Science, focusing on curiosity about the environment, basic scientific investigations, and understanding of natural resources.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Topic | 5 min | Briefly discuss snow, its formation, and prompt students with questions about eating snow. |
| 2 | Safety Discussion | 5 min | Engage students in a discussion about cleanliness, pollution, and what makes snow "safe" to eat. |
| 3 | Experiment Explanation | 5 min | Introduce the snow collection and testing activity. Explain how they will collect and analyze snow samples. |
| 4 | Snow Collection | 5 min | Students go outside (if safe) to collect snow samples into clear plastic cups. Ensure they wear gloves. |
| 5 | Snow Analysis | 5 min | After returning, students use magnifying glasses to observe their samples and any impurities in the snow. |
| 6 | Water Testing | 5 min | Using the water testing kits, students check the pH level of the snow and record their observations. |
| 7 | Conclusion and Sharing | 5 min | Discuss findings as a class. Students share their notes but no presentations; focus on collaborative summary. |
| 8 | Homework Assignment | 5 min | Assign students to write about their experience and what they learned about snow safety in their notebooks, to check in next class. |
Write a short paragraph reflecting on today's experiment and what you learned about the safety of eating snow. Do not present it in front of the class; the homework will be checked in the next lesson.
