Lesson Plan Grade 8C
Date: Day:
Subject: Science Topic: 5.1 Burning

Objective:

Am I able to identify
Intro/Starter: thethe
Analyse process of burning?
objects: What is chemical reaction?

How chemical reaction take place?

Main Activity; .

 When something burns a chemical reaction is taking place.

 Burning is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with
oxygen.
 Energy can be changed from one form to another.
 The substance that combines with oxygen is called fuel.
 Reactants and products of combustion.
 Carbon and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide

Glossary: Charcoal: it is a form of carbon.

C.W:

Q1 to 3 of page 70
What is needed for combustion to take place?

What is an exothermic reaction? ( a reaction in which energy is given out)

How can you tell that burning is an exothermic reaction? ( in this energy is given
out and temperature rises)
Assessment:

Students will be assessed on the basis of their class work.

Lesson Plan Grade 8
Date: Day:
Subject: Science Topic: Burning other substances

Objective: Am I able to learn about oxidation reaction?

Intro/Starter: Write a dictionary: Students will be asked to

create their own dictionary of 5 keywords and complete their
definitions from previous lecture.
Main Activity;

 Teacher will proceed by explaining The burning of other

substances (with ref to pg 72 of txt bk), Hydrogen can be
used as a fuel in a model rocket. Hydrogen and oxygen reat to
form water energy is released in this process so it’s a exothermic
reaction

Oxidation reaction.

Any reaction where oxygen combine with other substance , loss of

electrons or removal of hydrogen is called oxidation reaction.

Glossary: Exothermic reaction. A reaction in which energy is

released.

Main
answer
Activity;
the question.
Teacher will explain The reactions of metals (with
ref to pg 72 of txt bk), Reaction of metal is an exothermic reaction.

Lesson Plan Grade 8
Date: Day:
Subject: Science Topic: Endothermic reaction

Objective: Am I able to learn about endothermic reaction?

Intro/Starter:

Recall the previous lesson:

What is burning? What is exothermic reaction?

Main Activity;
 Endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that takes heat from
surrounding. It is a process in which energy is taken in for example
dissolving. During this reaction temperature decreases.

C.W.

Q 1 to 7 of page 74 and 75
What are the reactants in the reaction shown above?(sodium hydrogen carbonate
and citric acid)

What are the products in the reaction?(sodium citerate water and carbon dioxide)

What is an endothermic reaction? (reaction in which energy is taken in)

Explain why eating sherbet sweets makes your mouth feel cooler?( there is a
mixture of dry citric acid and sodium hydrogencarbonate)

Why is ice melting called an endothermic process but not reaction?( bcz energy is
taken in from the surroundings)

Suggest a change of state other than ice melting that is an endothermic

process.(when potassium chloride dissolve in water)

Assessment:

Students will be assessed on the basis of their class work.

Date: Day:
Subject: Science Topic: Usage of endo and exothermic reactions

Objective: Am I able to identify the function of nervous systems?

Intro/Starter: Pick any question:

What is endothermic reaction?

What is exothermic reaction?

Main Activity; Students will be taught: Exothermic reactions are
used to produced self heating cans of food.The chemicals used are
calcium oxide and water.Endothermic reactions used to make ice
packs.

.C.W: Q1 to 3 of pg 77
Explain why self heating cans are very exprnsive?(bcz of the difficulty of making
the compartments in the tin)

Explain why self heatin can can only be used once?( bcz two chemicals mixed with
each other and give heat and can not be reused)

Describe advantage of ice pack.(people use ice pack when they injure themselves,
some ice packs can be used when you don’t have refrierators)

H.W: Skill builder book pg 36 and 37 exercise worksheet will be given.

Test of chapter no 5

Assessment:

Students’ response will reveal their clarity of concepts.
