Q1 1. Introducing learning objective Usain Bolt from 2. Using questioning technique to lead to the learning Jamaica, winner objective for 100m World Athletic Champion (10.10s) Questions : Q2 1

a. Who is this handsome man? Where is he from? b. What physiological change occurs in his body? c. How do you take the pulse rate?

Q3 Look into the video Phase 2 DEVELOPMENT A (Exploration) (20 minutes) Phase 3 DEVELOPMENT B (Explanation) (10 minutes) Phase 4 DEVELOPMENT C (Application / Elaboration) (15 minutes) Phase 5 CLOSURE / ASSESSMENT Using paper slate to answer Experiment To study the effect of different activities on the rate of Compare and contrast heartbeat. Teacher asks students to design and carry out the experiment (with guidance) in group.

Sweating Heartbeat increases Pulse rate increases

Manipulated variable Teacher asks students to identify the manipulated variable, responding variable and constant variable what is changed Responding variablewhat is observed Constant variablekept constant

Control and determine variables Identify variables

Other types of activities

Teacher ask students to identify the manipulated variable, Identify variables responding variable and constant variable on other types of related activities

Making inference Students given a few hypothesis of an experiment. Students asks identify the Manipulated variable, and conclusion Responding variable and Constant variable 2

(Evaluation) (10 minutes) REFLECTION Before teaching After teaching Students able to carry out the experiment systematically in Students are able to carry out the experiment their own groups. systematically Students able to identify the manipulated variable, Students are able to identify the manipulated variable, responding variable and constant variable in the responding variable and constant variable in the experiment. experiment Students enjoyed the lesson. The learning outcome was achieved We did have some problem in our time management. We decided to accord more time for Phase 3 (25 minutes)
