                              lesson.
Lesson 6 (40 min)
 Lesson Start
Recap the difference between               •)min 5(
.boiling and evaporation from the previous lesson
 Activity
Refer to Activity 5B on             •       )min 30(
 .pages 44 and 45 of the Activity Book
Briefly go through the instructions in            •
steps 1 to 4 and allow students time to complete
the steps. Have students discuss and share what
.they should do to carry out the practical safely
Get students to record their observations              •
in the table in step 4. (Expected answer: 4.
Beaker A – no, slow; Beaker B – yes, fast)
Get students to make a conclusion from           •
the results and answer the question in step 5.
 (Expected answer: 5. A; B)
Refer students to the question in step 6.        •
Have students discuss and suggest how they can
improve the investigation to draw graphs to show
the changes in temperature. (Expected answer: 6.
Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of
the water in each beaker at regular intervals.
Record the temperatures in a table and use the
results to plot graphs.)
Note: Evaporation will take longer to          •
demonstrate than boiling. You may wish to allow
students to observe beaker A over a few hours
.and review the results in the next lesson
Have students recall what they have learnt           •
about changes of state so far. To link with the
Thinking and Working Scientifically strand of the
curriculum, get students to answer the question in
step 7 by constructing a key to identify the
changes of state that a liquid can go through.
(Expected answer: Answers may vary.) For
students who need additional support, you may
:provide some guiding questions such as
?Does the liquid change into a solid        -
Are bubbles formed during the change of             -
?state
Does the process happen throughout the            -
?liquid
SEL: This is a good opportunity for          •
students to use positive communication skills.
Invite students to collaborate with others through
groupwork. Encourage students to take part
.actively and share ideas openly
Lesson Wrap-up
To link with the Thinking and          •)min 5(
Working Scientifically strand of the curriculum,
bring students’ attention to the robot mascot’s
question on page 45 of the Activity Book. Guide
students to recognise that they have used fair
testing and observing over time as scientific
.enquiries in this activity
Assign ‘Practice          •   Homework
Worksheet’ on pages 77 and 78 of the Student’s

Lesson 7 (40 min)
 Lesson Start
Have students recall what they          •)min 5(
.have learnt across the two sections in this chapter
Ask: How can you demonstrate that gases              -
have mass? (Expected answer: Answers may
vary. A balloon filled with air will go down on
 one side of a balance.)
Ask: How does wearing a woollen jacket             -
keep us warm? (Expected answer: The jacket
traps air around our body. As air is a thermal
insulator, heat from our body is not easily lost to
the surroundings.)
Ask: Which materials conduct electricity           -
and which do not? (Expected answer: Answers
may vary. For example, metals conduct electricity
and wood, rubber and plastic do not.)
Ask: What is a difference between boiling           -
and evaporation? (Expected answer: Answers
may vary. For example, boiling happens at the
boiling point but evaporation happens at any
 temperature.)
 Activity
Students should have           •      )min 30(
completed ‘Practice Worksheet’ on pages 77 and

this formative assessment to check students’
.understanding

The concepts being tested in the questions          •
:are as follows
   Q1 – Concepts and misconceptions
Q2 – Temperature at which a substance melts is a
property of the substance
Q3 – Electrical conductors and insulators
Q4 – Difference between boiling and evaporation
Identify the concepts that students had         •
difficulty answering questions on and go through
the concepts again if required. Correct any
.misconceptions that students may still have
