Measurement of quantities
Understand the concept of measurement and its importance in our daily lives Learn common units of measurement for length, weight, and volume Practice measuring using standard tools such as rulers, scales, and graduated cylinders Apply measurement skills to real-world scenarios, such as cooking or building projects. Introduce the concept of measurement and its importance in everyday life Teach the basic units of measurement such as meter, gram, liter, etc. Help students understand the conversion between different units of measurement Provide examples and exercises to practice measuring different quantities using appropriate units Discuss the importance of precision and accuracy in measurement Introduce measuring tools such as rulers, scales, and measuring cups Conduct hands-on activities to reinforce the concepts learned, such as measuring objects and ingredients Review and assess student understanding through quizzes or assignments. For the topic "Measurement of quantities", here are some assignment suggestions based on the mentioned activities:
Have students create a chart or diagram that shows the basic units of measurement (meter, gram, liter, etc.) and their conversions to other units. Provide students with a list of objects and ingredients and ask them to measure each one using the appropriate unit of measurement and tool. They can then compare their results to ensure accuracy and precision. Have students research a profession that relies heavily on precise measurements, such as a chef or a carpenter, and write a short report on the importance of measurement in that profession. Conduct a group project where students design and build a structure using specific measurements and materials. They can then present their project to the class and explain the importance of precision in their design. Open
Assuming that the class meets once a week for a period of 1 hour, and that each activity listed takes approximately the same amount of time, it would take approximately 8 weeks or 8 hours to complete all of the teaching activities listed for the class of age group 10-12.

Equations of motion
Understand the basic concepts of motion, velocity, acceleration, and displacement Apply the equations of motion to solve problems involving one-dimensional motion Differentiate between uniform and non-uniform motion Understand the significance of graphical representations of motion, such as position-time and velocity-time graphs. Introduce the concept of motion and its types Explain the three equations of motion Give examples of how to use the equations in solving problems Provide practice problems for the students to solve Discuss the limitations of the equations and their applications in real life situations. Assignments:
Research and give an oral presentation on the history of the development of the equations of motion. Solve the following problems using the equations of motion: a. A car accelerates from rest at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 10 seconds. What is its final velocity?
b. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. How high will it go before it starts falling?
c. A train travels at a speed of 60 km/h and comes to a stop in 20 seconds. What is its deceleration?
Write a short essay on the limitations of the equations of motion and their applications in real life situations. Open
Graphical representations of motion Based on the activities listed, it is estimated that it would take approximately 5 hours to complete these teaching activities for a class of age group 10-12, where the duration of one period is 1 hour.

Force
Define force and its units of measurement Explain the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces Calculate net force and its effects on an object's motion Apply Newton's laws of motion to solve force-related problems Types of forces (gravitational, magnetic, electrostatic, etc.) Applications of forces in daily life Hands-on experiments and demonstrations to illustrate the concept of forces One possible assignment for the topic of Force and the mentioned activities could be to have students conduct a hands-on experiment or demonstration that illustrates one of the types of forces or Newton's laws of motion. They could then write a report or create a presentation explaining the concept and how their experiment or demonstration relates to it.
Open
It is difficult to provide an estimate without more information about the total number of periods allotted for the class and the level of detail and depth required for each activity. However, based on the given activities, a rough estimate could be around 12-15 hours.

State of Matter
Understand the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and examples of each. Identify the characteristics that distinguish each state of matter from the others. Explain how changes in temperature and pressure can affect the state of matter. Conduct simple experiments to observe changes in the state of matter. Introduce the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas Show examples of each state of matter Discuss how the particles of matter behave in each state Conduct experiments to demonstrate the properties of each state of matter Have students create models or diagrams to illustrate the different states of matter Compare and contrast the properties of each state of matter Discuss the changes of state, such as melting, freezing, and vaporization Provide real-life examples of the states of matter in action, such as water cycle and cooking processes. One possible assignment for the topic of State of Matter and the activities mentioned could be to have students create a presentation or poster that explains the properties of each state of matter, provides examples, and demonstrates the changes of state. They could also include real-life examples and explain how the states of matter are relevant in everyday life.
Open
Based on the listed teaching activities, it is estimated that a class of age group 10-12 with one period of duration 1 hour would require approximately 8 hours to complete all activities.
