3,0 WAYS TO ELICIT STUDENTS IDEA

3.1 Lesson Plan 1 : Understanding work, energy and power

a) Whole class question and answer session

Based on daily life, teacher asks students which one has more power,
superman or power rangers.

3.2 Lesson Plan 2 : Understanding efficiency and appreciating the importance of
maximizing the efficiency of devices

a) Whole class question and answer session

Based on real life phenomenon, teacher asks students:

i. What are the differences between florescent lamp and light bulb?

ii. How the heat and light produced?

iii. What is the relationship between heat and light?

devices?

3.3 Lesson Plan 3: Understanding Elasticity

a) Whole class question and answer session

Teacher gives 6 objects to each group.

Objects:

4
 sss
Sponge Ruler Plasticine

Stone Sharpener Rubber band

Teacher’s questions:

i. Class, I am sure every one of you knows these objects. Can you classify
these objects into their common characteristics?

ii. On what characteristic do you classify?

iii. What are your reasons in classifying these objects into elastic and non-
elastic?

 Teacher shows a visual cartoon of on Science related to everyday life. The
visual cartoon is about children playing the spring seesaw. In the visual, there
are four characters that have different opinions about elastic potential energy.

Teacher will ask students, “Which one of the characters do you agree with the
most?” In addition, teacher also asks whether the students have other ideas
about potential elastic energy and the new ideas will fill in the blank dialogue
box. Teacher will not judge the students’ choice either correct or wrong.
Teacher may know students idea and their prior knowledge. Hence, teacher
will prepare for suitable actions to continue in the next session.

4.0 DIFFICULT MAIN IDEAS OR OBJECTIVES

Lesson 1:

i) Students might have difficulties in understanding the concept of power

and in solving problems of power, they maybe just substituting the value
in formula without knowing the real concept of power.

Lesson 2:

i) Students might understand the concept of efficiency of devices, but they

do not know how to apply in daily life and importance to maximizing the
efficiency of devices.

Lesson 3:

i) The students might confuse in defining the Hooke’s law.

Definition of Hooke’s Law, F = -kx

ii) There are students will have problems in solving problems involving
elasticity.

7
 Lesson 4:

i) The students would face difficulties in understanding related the work

done to elastic potential energy in spring.

ii) The students might confuse in applying the equation of elastic potential
energy:

Elastic potential energy, Ep = ½ kx²

Terms Related Real World
Lesson 1 i. Walking upstairs and downstairs.
ii. Pushing and pulling a box in 1 meter distance.
iii. Electric motor to lift heavy load
Lesson 2 i. Diesel engines are already more efficient than gasoline engines (45
percent versus 30 percent).
ii. Efficiency of an iron is higher when iron many clothes
continuously compared to iron clothes but often to switch off the
plug before start irons the next clothes.
iii. The electric vehicles are more efficient because less energy is
wasted as heat. However, electric vehicles are not common
because of the high cost of technology required to build them.

Lesson 3 i. Weighing machines and meters use springs to return the pointer to
its original position.
ii. Baby cradles use springs to rock babies to sleep for a long-time
sleep. The elastic bow is an example of application of elasticity in
sports.

Lesson 4 i. Spring mattresses make sleeping more comfortable by supporting

the weight of a person sleeping on it. The springs enable the
mattresses to return to its original size and shape when the person
rises from the bed.
ii. Shock absorber at the vehicle’s tires will reduce a bouncing ride.
