Group 1B evaluated by Group 1A

Topic: Cells and Batteries - Grade 5 NST IP CAPS

Evaluator: Shakira Mohammed

Strengths Observed

The topic "Cells and Batteries" was clearly introduced.

The educator's tone was warm and engaging, helping to create a welcoming learning environment.

Areas for Improvement

A visual aid could have enhanced the explanation of what a "cell" is and how multiple cells form a battery. Consider using a diagram or physical model to clarify this distinction.

The concept of "cell" vs. "battery" was introduced but not fully unpacked. A side-by-side comparison or labelled diagram would support learner understanding.

The learning objective could be rephrased in learner-friendly language to ensure accessibility and clarity.

Visual aids such as a torch and battery were used to connect theory to real-life applications.

The lesson introduction would benefit from a short recap or a question to check learner's understanding before closing off.

The format could be more interactive: instead of one educator simulating a classroom, consider having one peer act as a learner to model engagement and questioning.
