Step	Contents	Teaching and Learning Activities	Remarks
Set Induction (5 minutes)	Magnets attract some materials.	1.    Teacher demonstrates a material that can attracted by magnet and a material that is not attracted by magnet. 2.    Teacher asks questions            Can you see what is            happening?            What are  the             differences            between this two               materials can do with              the magnet? 3.    Teacher state that the lesson today is about “Materials Attracted by Magnet.”	SPS: Observation Relating TS: Attributing Generating ideasT&L Resources: Magnet Paper clip Pencil
Step 1 (20 minutes)	Materials that attracted by magnets and not attracted by magnets.	1.    Teacher shows materials such as magnets, steel thumb-tacks, coins, paper clips and pencils and pupils are required to predict either the materials can attracted by magnets or not. 2.    Teacher asks pupils to present their answers in the worksheet given.	SPS: Classifying Predicting
Steps 2 (20 minutes)	Classifying that materials attracted by magnets.	1.    Teacher asks pupils to form groups. 2.    Teacher distributes a magnet, a steel thumb-tack, a coin, a paper clip and a pencil for each group. 3.    Teacher asks pupils to identify and classify the materials given by following instruction and present their observations in the table given. 4.    Teacher asks pupils to complete the table with other materials such as steel spoon, plastic ruler. 5.    Teacher discusses and explains the finding together with pupils.	SPS: Classifying Generating idea MS: Use and handle science apparatus and substances
Step 3 (10 minutes)	Worksheet	1.    Pupils are required to complete the worksheet given. 2.    Teacher discusses the answers with pupils	SPS: Classifying Relating
Closure (5 minutes)	Summary	1.    Teacher summarizes lesson by asking: a). What are the materials that attracted by magnets?            b)What are the            materials               that are not attracted by            magnets?	SPS: Relating
