**Lesson Plan for Basic Science and Technology (Primary 5)**
**Topic: Basic Motor Parts (Internal) + Pathogens, Diseases, and Prevention + Setting up the HTML Document**
**Duration:** 60 minutes
---
### Lesson Objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Identify and describe the basic internal parts of a motor.
2. Understand the concept of pathogens, common diseases caused by them, and preventive measures.
3. Understand the basic structure of an HTML document and how to set it up.
### Materials:
- Charts/Diagrams of motor parts
- Slides or flashcards about pathogens and diseases
- Computers/tablets with internet access
- Projector
- Markers and whiteboard
- Handouts with step-by-step HTML instructions
### Lesson Structure:
#### Introduction (5 minutes)
1. **Welcome and Warm-up:**
- Greet students and briefly recap the previous lesson.
- Briefly introduce the three parts of today's lesson: Internal motor parts, pathogens and diseases, and setting up an HTML document.
#### Part 1: Basic Motor Parts (Internal) (15 minutes)
1. **Discuss the motor and its internal parts:**
- Use charts/diagrams to show the internal parts of a basic motor (e.g., rotor, stator, armature, commutator, brushes, and bearings).
- Explain the function of each part in simple terms:
- Rotor: The rotating part of the motor.
- Stator: The stationary part that produces a magnetic field.
- Armature: The component that carries the current in a motor.
- Commutator: A rotary switch in motors that reverses the current direction.
- Brushes: Conduct electricity between stationary wires and moving parts.
- Bearings: Support the rotor and allow it to turn smoothly.
2. **Classroom Activity:**
- Divide students into small groups and hand out diagrams of the motor.
- Ask them to label each part and explain its function.
#### Part 2: Pathogens, Diseases, and Prevention (20 minutes)
1. **Introduction to Pathogens:**
- Use slides or flashcards to introduce pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites).
- Explain how these tiny organisms can cause diseases.
2. **Common Diseases:**
- Mention some common diseases caused by different pathogens (e.g., flu, malaria, athlete's foot).
- Discuss the symptoms and how each disease affects the body.
3. **Preventive Measures:**
- Explain the importance of hygiene, vaccinations, proper nutrition, and safe sanitation practices.
- Show how washing hands, using sanitizers, and getting vaccinated can prevent diseases.
4. **Classroom Activity:**
- Conduct a simple handwashing demonstration.
- Ask students to create posters demonstrating ways to prevent the spread of diseases.
#### Part 3: Setting up the HTML Document (20 minutes)
1. **Basics of HTML:**
- Introduce what HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is and why it's used in creating web pages.
- Briefly explain HTML tags and elements.
2. **Setting up an HTML Document:**
- Explain the basic structure: ``, ``, ``, ``, and `<body>` tags.
- Show an example of a simple HTML document on the projector.
3. **Classroom Activity:**
- Provide handouts with basic HTML syntax.
- Guide students to set up their simple HTML document on the computers/tablets:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page
Hello, World!
This is my first web page.
```
- Walk around to assist students as they code.
#### Conclusion (5 minutes)
1. **Recap the Lesson:**
- Summarize the key points about motor parts, pathogens and diseases, and HTML setup.
- Ask a few questions to check students' understanding.
2. **Assign Homework:**
- Ask students to research and write a paragraph about any one pathogen and the disease it causes.
- Encourage them to practice setting up more complex HTML documents at home.
3. **Closing:**
- Praise students for their participation and efforts.
- Inform them about the next lesson topic.
---
**Assessment:**
- Observe and note students' participation in activities and discussions.
- Review the labeled motor diagrams and posters created by students.
- Check the HTML documents created by students for correct setup and structure.
**Reflection:**
- Gather feedback from students about which part of the lesson they enjoyed the most.
- Reflect on the effectiveness of the activities and make adjustments for future lessons as needed.
