STEP/TIME
CONTENT
ACTIVITY
REMARKS

Introduction
(5 min)

To predict the stability of upright position and upside down

1  Teacher asks pupil to come in   front to set up the bottle.
2  Teacher asks pupils to predict the stability of upright position and upside down will topple easily.
Predict :
A bottle in an upright position has a bigger base area. It is therefore more stable than a bottle in an upside down position.


AVA:
Plastic bottles

Thinking Skill : predict

Step 1
(10 min)














Step 2
(5 min)

To observe the relationship between the base area/ height and the stability of objects.












Group discussion to make :
a   Hypothesis
b   Conclusion



1  Teacher asks pupil conduct an experiment in groups to observe the relating to effects of base area on the stability of objects.
2  Teacher provides each group :
Group A  5 bigger cylinder and 5 thinner cylinder.

Step 3
(7min)
Summarizing
1  Teacher asks each group make presentation for group discussion.
