FORM : 4 Science 1

DATE : 7 June 2016

LEVEL : Intermediate

TIME : 8.30 am- 8.50 am

THEME :

TOPIC : Chapter 4 - Heat

Subtopic : 4.3 Understanding Latent Heat

OBJECTIVES :
Students will be taught to understand specific latent heat.

MORAL VALUES : In our life, to make a transition towards a better person we have to give
the same amount of efforts and hard work. It is not easy to gain success without contributing
anything to ourselves.

EDUCATIONAL EMPHASIS :
i) Thinking Skills : creative thinking skills (relating, visualising) and critical thinking skills
(analysing).
ii) Science Process Skills : defining operationally.

INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS : Manila card, mahjong paper, printed pictures, colour paper.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE : Students already learnt about heat flow in Chapter 7 (Heat) in
Science Form 1.
