RATIONALE

We teach about water to students because it's essential for life, understanding its properties, is crucial
for their education and the future of our planet.

LESSON OBJECTIVE

 Describe physical properties of pure water

 Carry out a chemical test for water

MATERIALS AND AIDS

 Beaker
 Water
 Dropper
 Test tube
 ANHYDROUS COPPER (II) SULPHATE

LESSON CONTENT:

In this lesson, students will learn about the physical properties of pure water, including its molecular
structure, density, and ability to dissolve various substances. They will also explore how to carry out
chemical tests to identify the presence of water,

To help them understand the
whole process that took place in
the test for water.
To help them remember what
was covered, so as to
consolidate the whole concept.
To check their level of
understanding and to identify
areas that want to be corrected.
To help them research further
to build on their knowledge.
