Second Term JSS3 Basic Science Lesson Note
Week One and Two: Resources from living things
INTRODUCTION:
A lot of plant resources are grown in gardens and farms for food, commercial purposes, aesthetic values, etc. Such resources from plants include cotton, rubber, cocoa, groundnut, oil palm, rice, maize, yam, sugar cane, tobacco, flowers, etc. Plant resources include cash and food crops. Cash crops are those that bring a lot of money when sold locally or exported. Examples of cash crops are cocoa, dyes, cotton and rubber. Food crops are those grown mainly for food though they may be sold locally. They include yam, rice, beans, plantain, oranges, mangoes etc Food is very important to human beings.

Week Three and Four: Resources from non-living things
INTRODUCTION:
Minerals are usually natural endowments to particular communities. Minerals are naturally occurring substances in the soil. Many mineral resources are found in the environment. Some are solid in nature, others are liquid in form while some are gaseous in nature. In Nigeria, minerals abound in many parts of the country.
The presence of such minerals has resulted in the development of such areas. Many industries have been set up to prospect in mineral resources. The exploitation of minerals has in most cases caused strife, kidnapping and wars as is witnessed in the Nigerian Niger Delta areas. To learn more, click here.
Week Five: Light Energy
INTRODUCTION:
Light is a form of energy. Light energy possesses different properties which make this form of energy very useful to man. Some of these properties include reflection, refraction, apparent depth in liquids, producing vision in the eye and dispersion or capability of being separated into various colours of the rainbow.

Week Six: Sound Energy
INTRODUCTION:
Sound is the stimulus that our ears respond to. Sound is one of many forms of energy with which you must be familiar. Sound is a property of vibrating objects. These objects may be solids, liquids or gases.
Production of Sound
Sound can be produced by different types of objects. Some of the sounds are appealing to the ear while others are not. However, you would have observed that there is something common to all sounding objects. To learn more, click here.
Week Seven and Eight: Magnetism
INTRODUCTION:
Magnets are substances that generally attract objects towards themselves. Magnets are important in many areas of science, for example, they are used in radio communication, telegraphs, computers, electric generators, loudspeakers, electromagnets, etc. Apart from these, the properties of magnets make their study interesting and fascinating for young and developing scientists.

Week Nine: Electrical Energy
INTRODUCTION:
Electrical energy plays a dominant role in the economic and social development of nations. It is extensively used in industries, offices and homes for carrying out numerous essential operations. Electrical energy provides a reliable, pollution-free energy option for both domestic and industrial purposes. To learn more, click here.
Week Ten: Skill Acquisition
INTRODUCTION:
We are living in a very competitive age in which the employers of labour want to hire only the best applicants while the applicant wants to sell his/her services to the employer that offers the best returns. The level of skill that an employee has, determines to a large extent the level of his/her pay as well as the value that the organization places on him/her. Generally, the skills possessed by individuals make the difference in the level of their achievement in life. In any endeavour, a skilled person always produces a better quality output than any unskilled person. To learn more, click here.
