Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

Pupils are familiar with different colours from their everyday experiences.

Lesson Content

What is Colour?

colour is how we see different wavelengths of light. Think of a rainbow! It shows all the different colours of light that make up white light. We see a red apple as it reflects red light and absorbs all other colours.

Types of Primary Colours

There are three primary colours: red, blue, and yellow. These are called primary colours because you can’t make them by mixing other colours. They are the building blocks of all other colours!

Examples of Primary Colours

Examples are:

Red: A ripe tomato, a fire truck, a stop sign.
Blue: The sky on a clear day, a blueberry, a blue crayon.
Yellow: A banana, a sunflower, a yellow school bus.
Green: Fresh leaves, green bell pepper, a green traffic light.
Orange: An orange fruit,a carrot,a monarch butterfly.

Lesson Keywords

Colour – The visual perception of different wavelengths of light.
Primary Colours – Red,blue,and yellow; the basic colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours.
Wavelength – The distance between successive crests of a wave, especially light waves.
Reflection – The process by which light bounces off a surface.
Absorption – The process by which light is taken in and not reflected.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

What is colour?
Name the three primary colours.
Give three examples of objects that are primary colours.

Assignment/Homework

Find and list five examples of each primary colour in their environment.
draw and colour objects using only the primary colours.

Differentiation

For slower learners: Provide one-on-one assistance and simplified explanations.
For advanced learners: Encourage them to explore secondary and tertiary colours.
For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids, verbal explanations, and hands-on activities to cater to different learning styles.

Note for Teachers

Ensure to use real-life examples and visual aids to make the lesson engaging and understandable for the pupils. Encourage active participation and provide constructive feedback.
