Objective: Learning Outcome: 3. Matter in Nature 3.2 The Air Around Us Understanding what air is made up of (the composition of air) A student is able to: state what air is made up of explain why air is a mixture state the average percentage of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide in air. carry out activities to show: a) the percentage of oxygen in air. b) that air contains water vapour, microorganisms and dust. Epson projector and interactive pen, Teachers Notes, Activity Sheet 1, Amali Proses Sains Form 1 book, cobalt chloride paper, cellophane tape, ice, beaker (250 cm3), boiling tube with rubber stopper, retort stand, torchlight and marker. Good afternoon, students. What did you have for breakfast today? Teacher waits and listens to students response. Why is food important to us? Teacher waits and listens to students responses. Besides food, what else do all living things need? Teacher waits and listens to students responses. Which of these cant be seen but you know that they are around you? Teacher waits and listens to students responses. Good! What do you think air is made up of? Teacher waits and listens to students responses and guides them if necessary.

Teacher continues explaining on composition of air based on PowerPoint notes. Then teacher gives Activity Sheet 1 to the students and some references on the composition of air. Please refer to the books and find out the composition of air. Then fill in the blanks in Activity Sheet 1. Students complete their tasks. Very good! Can you tell what the percentage of nitrogen in air is? Teacher listens to students responses and guides them if necessary. Good! What about the percentage of oxygen in air? Teacher listens to students responses and guides them if necessary. Very good! Now what is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air? Teacher listens to students responses and guides them if necessary. Well done! Do you think the percentage of these gases is the same in the city and in the country side? Teacher listens to students responses and guides them if necessary. Why do you say so? Teacher listens to students responses and guides them if necessary. So, is air a mixture or a compound? Teacher listens to students responses. Very good! Air is a mixture because the composition of air varies from place to place. Components of air such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide are not chemically combined. You will learn later that air can be separated by physical methods. Today, we are going to do a few activities to find out more about the air around us. Now please move into your usual groups. Allow students time to move into their groups. Do you think there is water vapour and dust in the air? Teacher waits and listens to students responses. Let us start with water vapour. How can we determine that there is water vapour in the air? Teacher waits and listens to students responses. Teacher asks students to open up their Amali Proses Sains book and refer to respective activities. You are given some apparatus such as, some ice, a beaker (250 cm3), a boiling tube with rubber stopper, cobalt chloride paper, a retort stand.

Using these materials, plan and carry out an investigation to find out whether air contains water vapour. Allow the students time to carry out the investigation. Teacher goes round to help students with the activity. At the end of the activity, teacher discusses the results obtained. Now that we have completed our discussion, please fill up the Activity in Amali Proses Sains book. Let us see how we can determine that there is dust in the air. Can you come out with some suggestions? Teacher waits and listens to students responses. Teacher guides students if necessary. Note: The Tyndall Effect can be used shine a torch in a darkened room to show the presence of dust in the air. Thank you.
