Lesson plan of Physics

Grade 7
Duration: 1 hour

Program: We perform measurements.

Topic: Determining the density of a substance from which an object is made.

Teaching methods: causerie, group work, brainstorming.

Principle of teaching: systematicity, conscious and active participation of students in the education
process.

Teaching aids: notebook, blocks, keys, force gauge, scale, ruler, measuring cup, worksheets.

Student is able:
• Explain what the term "density" means,
• Give the relationship between mass, volume and density d= m/V.

Aims:

General
 introducing students to work harmoniously in a group,
 developing perceptiveness and free expression of thoughts.

Indirect
After completing the classes, students will be able to:
 determine the density of a substance experimentally,
 use the relationship between mass, volume and density d= m/V to perform calculations,
 find tables on the Internet containing the densities of various substances,
 provide the name of a substance with a specific density.

Specific
Each student will know:
 what is density,
 calculate the density of a given substance,
 read the name of the substance with the indicated density from the table.

STAGES OF THE LESSON:

Introductory phase:

1. Organizational activities.
2. A discussion about what the density of a substance shows us and a reminder of the density
formula.
3. Statement of the topic and objectives of the lesson.
Main phase:

4. Dividing the class into groups and reminding the rules of group work.
5. Discussing the course of activities, taking measurements and making calculations in groups.
6. Group work: students complete the tasks given in the worksheet.
7. Presentation of group results.

Summary phase:

8. Summary of the results of the groups' work.

9. Complete the self-assessment card.

Density – gęstość
Substance - substancja
Mass – masa
Arithmetic average – średnia arytmetyczna
Volume – objętość
Self-assessment card:

Complete the sheet. Assess the level of your knowledge and skills by marking the appropriate boxes on the
sheet with an X, where: A - means "yes", B - means "probably yes", C - means "rather no", D - means "no".
Below the table there are fields where you can comment on your strengths and weaknesses - complete them.

No. Success criteria – assessed activities A B C D

The lesson objectives are clear to me

1.
I have mastered the concepts used in the lesson
2.
I know the rules for measuring the mass and volume of
3. bodies
I calculate the density of a substance based on the
4. measurements taken
I work well in a group, follow the rules of discussion,
5. and use the Internet to search and select information
I am active during the lesson, I answer questions and ask
6. for clarification when I don't understand something
The lesson encouraged me to further deepen my
7. knowledge
