Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B1.2.1.3.1 - Observe the disappearance of mist and pools of water after rains

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Observe and describe what happens to mist and pools of water after rain stops.
Predict where mist and run-off water go after rains and share their predictions with the class.
Explain in simple words that mist and pools of water disappear because they evaporate into the air.
Compare how quickly mist disappears compared to pools of water after rain.
Talk about their observations of recent rains in their own community using simple science language (evaporate, mist, run-off).

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Let learners observe the disappearance of mist and run-off water after rains and come and talk about it in class. (Note: This activity is to be carried out after rains).
- Engage learners to predict where mist and run-off water go after rains and assist them to understand that they evaporate.
NB: Mists evaporates but run-off water either flows into surface water bodies or collects as stagnant pools of water. Run-off water takes a longer time to evaporate
