 1  paper  clip, 1 eraser,
 1 metal spoon,
 1 1 ¢ coin, 1 wood,   
 1 zink, 1 leather.

Observation:
- Pupils of each group
   present their
   experiment
   worksheet.

   pupils
- Teacher lets the pupils to
   discover themselves how to
   make the bulb lights up.
 -Teacher guides the pupils to do a
   hands-on activity.
- Pupils try to connect the object
   one by one to the circuit.
- Pupils see whether the bulb
   lights up or not.
- Pupils record their observation
   one by one on the given worksheet.





- Pupils do experiment in group of
  four.
- Teacher distributes the things to
   each group.
- Teacher will play music and
   pupils have to complete the
   experiment before the music ends.
- After the experiment, teacher will
   choose the pupils randomly from
   each group to come forward and
   present their group’s observation.
- Then, the  teacher discusses the
   observations with the pupils.
