7.1.2
Explain functions of the components in a complete electric
circuit.
Prior Knowledge : Pupils know that there is electricity flow to allow the light or
other electrical appliances to function.
Science Process Skills (SPS) : Observing, Predicting, Communicating, Classifying
Critical Thinking Skill : Analysing, Evaluating
Creative Thinking Skill : Generating ideas, Visualising, Making generalisations
Higher Order Thinking Skills : Evaluating, Analysing, Applying
(HOTS)
Teaching aids : Torch light, dry cell, wire, bulb, switch
Elements Across the Curriculum : Language
(EMK)
Scientific Attitudes and Noble : Dare to try, Having interest and curiosity towards the
Values environment, Thinking rationally
Creative
Function of components thinking skill:
a) Dry cell Generating
- Supply electrical ideas,
energy Visualising
b) Bulb
- Produce light HOTS:
c) Switch Evaluating
- Switches on and off a

Noble Values:
Dare to try
Restructurin Input is given to the pupils 1. Teacher states the electrical SPS:
g of ideas Electric components and components that are needed Communicating
their functions to build an electric circuit.
20 minutes a) Dry cell 2. Teacher passes the electric Critical thinking
- To supply electrical components to the pupils to skill:
energy have a look on them. Analysing
b) Bulb 3. Teacher mentions the function
- To produce light of each electrical component. Creative
c) Switch 4. Teacher draws a complete thinking skill:
- To complete and electric circuit to shows how Making
break an electric the torch light will light up generalisations
circuit when the switch is switched
d) Wire on. HOTS:
- To allow electricity to Analysing
flow through a circuit

Application Application of knowledge 1. Teacher requests pupils to SPS:
of ideas in a new situation. state the other component Predicting
Component to replace bulb which can replace the bulb in
10 minutes and its function: the complete circuit. Critical thinking
a) buzzer 2. Pupils are given five minutes skill:
- produce sound to discuss with friend beside Evaluating
b) vibrator them.
- vibrate 3. Teacher calls a few pupils to Creative
share their answers. thinking skill:

Reflection:
From this lesson, teacher realises that pupils like realia to learn. The realia attracts pupils
attention to the lesson. For example, the pupils are excited when they see switch, bulb and dry cell
that the teacher brings and shows. Therefore, teacher is suggested to prepare more realia in the
following lesson to attract pupils’ attention and increase their interest to the lesson.
Moreover, the learning objectives stated in the lesson plan have been achieved by 26 pupils,
but 4 pupils are still making mistakes in the Activity Book. 26 pupils are able to identify and name all
the electrical components correctly. They are able to state all the functions of electrical components
accurately too. The 4 pupils need teacher’s help to complete their task and they need more time to
finish the task given. Due to this, teacher needs to be more concern about the 4 pupils in the next
lesson to ensure that every pupil in class is able to achieve the learning objectives.
