If necessary, write them on the board.Ask the students to count the number of correct and return to the ownerCollect the workbooksAnnouncement: Inform the students that they will have a pre-test next meetingWeek 2: Period 1-2:Before the Test:Give the instruction of the pre-testThe examination paper consists of 30 items multiple-choice questions.Tell the students to clearly encircle the letter of their rm the students to hand in the examination paper to the proctors.Remind the students that the pre-test will end in 60 minutes and once they are finish they can wait outside without making noiseDuring the Test:Monitor the students while they are taking the testRemind them not to make unnecessary noise and questionsIf somebody will ask some questions let them raise their hand firstAfter the Test:Call the students to come back inside the laboratory roomDistribute the test paper again for checking. Boys will check the girls papers and vice versaAsk them to write corrected byDictate the answer. If necessary, write them on the board.Ask the students to count the number of correct and return to the ownerCollect the test papers by their numbers; from 1-30.Announcement:Tell the students to bring the materials in page 11 and page 13Week 3: Period 1-2:Preliminaries:Check the laboratory materials that you required to bringGive additional points to the group who completely brought the materials requiredRemind the students about the safety rules Main Activity:Introduce the topic inquiries: See pages 11-12, Additional Science 1, Problem Solving Skills 1, Practical WorkbookUse of Measuring InstrumentsTeacher’s Demonstration: Show first to the students how to conduct the experiment and demonstrate the necessary stepsStudents’ Experiment:Actual experiment for students by following the procedure in the workbook or additional notesAny changes of the experimental steps can be alternatively done by the teacher depending on the situationObserve each group performance and try to have one-on-one discussion with the students or each group regarding to the experimentRemind them the time left for the experiment processRemind them not to forget to obtain the important dataAnswer Questions:Remind the students to completely answer all the questions in the activities doneEnd of the Experiment Reminders:Turn off all the electrical equipment use in the labClean-up work area and return all equipment to its proper placeDispose the waste materialsWash hands after every experimentAnnouncement: Tell the students to bring the materials in page 17 and page 60Week 4: Period 1-2:Preliminaries:Check the laboratory materials that you required to bringGive additional points to the group who completely brought the materials requiredRemind the students about the safety rules Main Activity:Introduce the topic inquiries: See pages 13-16, Additional Science 1, Problem Solving Skills 1, Practical WorkbookPhysical Quantities and UnitsTeacher’s Demonstration: Show first to the students how to conduct the experiment and demonstrate the necessary stepsStudents’ Experiment:Actual experiment for students by following the procedure in the workbook or additional notesAny changes of the experimental steps can be alternatively done by the teacher depending on the situationObserve each group performance and try to have one-on-one discussion with the students or each group regarding to the experimentRemind them the time left for the experiment processRemind them not to forget to obtain the important dataAnswer Questions:Remind the students to completely answer all the questions in the activities doneEnd of the Experiment Reminders:Turn off all the electrical equipment use in the labClean-up work area and return all equipment to its proper placeDispose the waste materialsWash hands after every experimentAnnouncement: Tell the students to bring the materials for the next activity10.
