LSK3701
Assignment number: 02
Year: 2023 (SEMESTER 1)




PREVIEW:
Choose FIVE (5) words or ideas in your topic that you think learners will not understand.
Consider some placeholders (words to develop concepts) you could use in your theme plan
and think how you would use activities to informally assess whether learners use the science
words correctly. Remember, we use placeholders because they hold the place for the
development of a scientific understanding of a concept. (10)


These are examples of words or concepts that learners might find challenging to
understand initially. You can use these as placeholders to develop scientific
understanding. Here are the five words or ideas:

 Precipitation: This refers to any form of water that falls from the atmosphere
to the Earth's surface, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. To assess students'
understanding, you could engage them in a hands-on activity where they
observe and classify different types of precipitation.

Section B: For this assessment, use the topic Weather or Seasons in your chosen grade.


QUESTION 1: (25)

1.1 Choose FIVE (5) words or ideas in your topic that you think learners will not understand. Consider some placeholders (words to
develop concepts) you could use in your theme plan and think how you would use activities to informally assess whether learners
use the science words correctly. Remember, we use placeholders because they hold the place for the development of a scientific
understanding of a concept. (10)


These are examples of words or concepts that learners might find challenging to understand initially. You can use these
as placeholders to develop scientific understanding. Here are the five words or ideas:

 Precipitation: This refers to any form of water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, such as rain,
snow, sleet, or hail. To assess students' understanding, you could engage them in a hands-on activity where they
observe and classify different types of precipitation.
 Climate: It refers to the long-term weather patterns in a particular region. You can introduce this concept through
a discussion about the typical weather conditions in different seasons. Assess their understanding by having them
create climate charts or compare the climates of different regions.
 Evaporation: This is the process by which liquid water changes into water vapor and enters the atmosphere. You
can conduct a simple experiment where students observe the evaporation of water from different containers and
discuss their observations to assess their understanding.
