A: ROUTINE INFORMATION

Date: Day:
Name of School: Thandokuhle Primary School
Student surname and name: Mncwabe Akhona
Student number: 221062029
Grade: 5
Subject: Natural Sciences & Technology
Topic: Energy and Energy Transfer
Content/ Concept Area: Energy for life
CAPS page no: 39
Duration of lesson: 1 hour

B: SPECIFIC AIMS
Learners will be able to understand the concept of energy, identify different forms of energy, and
explain how energy can be transferred from one object to another.

C: LESSON OBJECTIVES
1. KNOWLEDGE
1.Define energy and identify various forms of energy.
2.Understand the concept of energy transfer.
3.Recognize examples of energy transfer in everyday life.

2. SKILLS
1.Identify examples of energy transfer in everyday life.
2.Develop observation and critical thinking skills.

3. VALUES/ATTITUDES
1.Identify various ways energy is transferred from one object to another.
2.Recognize the importance of conserving energy for environmental sustainability.
3.Develop values such as responsibility, cooperation, and respect for the environment.
4.Understand the concept of energy and its different forms.

D: APPROACH/TEACHING STRATEGY:

E: RESOURCES:
1.Whiteboard and markers
2.Visual aids (pictures or diagrams of energy sources and transfers)
3.Objects demonstrating different forms of energy (e.g., a battery, a stretched rubber band, a
flashlight)
4.Real-world examples for discussion (e.g., bouncing ball, swinging pendulum)

F: LESSON PHASES:
1. INTRODUCTION
1.Begin by asking the students if they know what energy is and if they can give examples of things
that need energy to work (e.g., lights, cars, phones).
2.Introduce the concept of energy as the ability to do work. Write the definition on the board and
discuss it briefly.
3.Show different pictures of energy sources such as the sun, wind turbines, and batteries. Ask
students to identify these sources and explain how they provide energy.

2. DEVELOPMENT
1.Present different forms of energy (e.g., mechanical, thermal, electrical, light, sound) using visual
aids and real-life examples.
2.Discuss energy transfer: Explain that energy can be transferred from one object to another or
transformed from one form to another.
3.Use simple experiments to demonstrate energy transfer:
-Show a stretched rubber band and release it to show the transfer from potential energy to kinetic
energy.
-Use a flashlight to demonstrate the conversion of chemical energy into light and thermal energy.
-Discuss the energy transfer that occurs when you wind up a toy car and let it go.
 3. CONSOLIDATION/LESSON CONCLUSION
1.Lead a class discussion about the scenarios and their energy transfers. Encourage students to ask
questions and share their thoughts.
2.Summarize the key points of the lesson: energy is the ability to do work, there are different forms of
energy, and energy can be transferred or transformed.
3.Relate the concepts to everyday life examples to emphasize the importance of understanding
energy and energy transfer.

G: LEARNER ACTIVITY
Describe the learner activity you plan to use. If you are using a worksheet, attach it
to the Lesson Plan)
1.Divide the students into pairs or small groups.
2.Provide each group with an example scenario (e.g., a bouncing ball, a swinging pendulum, a falling
book) and ask them to identify the forms of energy involved and describe the energy transfer that
occurs.
3.Have each group present their scenario and explanations to the class.

-Observe student participation and engagement during the activities and discussions.
-Evaluate group presentations and discussions to ensure understanding of energy forms and
transfers.
-Assign a follow-up worksheet or short quiz to assess individual comprehension.
