Lesson Plan for Primary 5 - Basic Science and Technology - aste And Waste Disposal + Volleyball Game + Types

### Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology for Primary 5 **Subject:** Basic Science and Technology **Grade:** Primary 5 **Duration:** 2 hours **Topic(s):** Waste and Waste Disposal, Volleyball Game, Types of Visual-based Programming Languages ### **Objectives:** 1. Understand the concept of waste and proper waste disposal methods. 2. Learn the basic rules and skills of volleyball. 3. Identify and explore various types of visual-based programming languages. ### **Materials Needed:** - Chart papers and markers - Waste bins (labeled for different types of waste) - Volleyball and net - Computer or tablets with internet access - Visual programming software (e.g. Scratch, Blockly) --- ### **Introduction (20 minutes):** 1. **Greeting and Roll Call:** Welcome students and take attendance. 2. **Topic Introduction:** Briefly introduce the three topics that will be covered in the lesson. - Waste and Waste Disposal - Volleyball Game - Types of Visual-based Programming Languages ### **Section 1: Waste and Waste Disposal (30 minutes):** 1. **Discussion (10 minutes):** - Ask students what they know about waste. - Discuss different types of waste (biodegradable vs. non-biodegradable). 2. **Activity (10 minutes):** - Show students examples of different types of waste (e.g., plastic, organic, paper). - Explain the importance of segregating waste and proper disposal methods. - Demonstrate how to use waste bins for segregation. 3. **Interactive Quiz (10 minutes):** - Prepare a short quiz to test students' understanding of waste types and disposal techniques. - Ask questions like, "Which bin would you put a banana peel in?" or "Why is it important to recycle?" ### **Section 2: Volleyball Game (30 minutes):** 1. **Introduction (5 minutes):** - Briefly explain the history and objective of volleyball. - Introduce the basic rules and positions in volleyball. 2. **Demonstration (10 minutes):** - Show how to serve, pass, and spike using a volleyball. - Demonstrate the proper technique and safety measures. 3. **Practice Game (15 minutes):** - Divide students into two teams. - Set up the net and let students practice serving and passing the ball. - Conduct a short, friendly match focusing on participation and teamwork rather than competition. ### **Break (10 minutes):** ### **Section 3: Types of Visual-based Programming Languages (30 minutes):** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** - Explain what programming languages are and how they are used in creating software and games. - Introduce visual-based programming languages like Scratch and Blockly, highlighting their ease of use for beginners. 2. **Activity (15 minutes):** - Have students use computers/tablets to explore a basic exercise on Scratch or Blockly. - Guide them through creating a simple program or animation. 3. **Group Discussion (5 minutes):** - Discuss the students’ experiences using the programming software. - Encourage students to share what they created and learned. ### **Conclusion (10 minutes):** 1. **Recap:** Summarize the key points from each section of the lesson. - Importance of proper waste disposal. - Basic skills and rules of volleyball. - Introduction to visual-based programming languages. 2. **Q&A:** Open the floor for any questions the students might have. 3. **Assignment:** - Ask students to write a short paragraph or draw a diagram about waste segregation at home. - Encourage students to practice volleyball at home or in their community. - Suggest trying out more exercises or projects on Scratch or Blockly. 4. **Closing:** Thank the students for their participation and enthusiasm. ### **Assessment:** - Participation in activities and discussions. - Responses in the interactive quiz and group discussion. - Evaluation of assignments turned in. ### **Follow-up:** - Plan a project where students can create a visual program or game using Scratch. - Organize a small volleyball tournament to reinforce skills learned. - Arrange a school clean-up day to practice waste segregation and disposal.
