### Part 1: Basic Science and Technology
#### Topic: Water (Meaning and Sources)
#### Objectives:
1. **Knowledge**: Students will understand what water is and identify its different sources.
2. **Skills**: Students will practice observing and identifying sources of water.
3. **Values**: Students will appreciate the importance of water in daily life.
#### Materials Needed:
- Pictures of different water sources
- A small clear container of water
- Chart paper and markers
- Water Drop song (optional)
#### Procedure:
1. **Introduction (5 minutes)**:
- Start with a simple question: "What do you drink when you are thirsty?" Most kids will say "water."
- Show students the container of water and ask them to describe it (e.g., color, taste, and use).
2. **Presentation (10 minutes)**:
- **Meaning of Water**: Explain briefly what water is (a liquid that we drink, use to wash, clean, and help plants grow).
- **Sources of Water**: Use pictures to introduce different sources of water such as rain, rivers, lakes, wells, and taps.
- Engage students by asking them to name any other sources of water they know.
3. **Activity (10 minutes)**:
- Show the students the pictures and ask them to identify and name the sources of water shown in each picture.
- Group Activity: Divide the class into small groups and give each group chart paper and markers to draw and label various sources of water.
4. **Review (5 minutes)**:
- Have each group present their chart to the class.
- Reinforce the key points by summarizing the sources of water.
5. **Song (Optional, if time permits, 5 minutes)**:
- Teach the students a simple "Water Drop" song to help memorize the sources of water.

### Part 2: Physical Education (Athletics)
#### Topic: Simple Jumps
#### Objectives:
1. **Knowledge**: Students will learn the basics of simple jumping techniques.
2. **Skills**: Students will practice and improve their jumping ability.
3. **Values**: Students will understand the importance of physical activity.
#### Materials Needed:
- Whistle
- Cones or markers
- Soft mats (if available)
#### Procedure:
1. **Warm-Up (5 minutes)**:
- Begin with some light warm-up activities such as jogging in place, arm circles, and stretching.
2. **Introduction to Jumps (5 minutes)**:
- Explain the importance of jumping in various sports and everyday activities.
- Demonstrate simple jumps: standing jump, double-leg hop, and jumping over a line.
3. **Skill Practice (15 minutes)**:
- Station 1: Standing Jumps – Students practice jumping on the spot.
- Station 2: Double-Leg Hops – Students hop forward and backward.
- Station 3: Line Jumps – Place a rope or line on the ground and have students jump over it back and forth.
4. **Activity/Game (5 minutes)**:
- **Jumping Relay**: Organize a simple relay race where students jump to a certain point and back before tagging the next member of their team.
5. **Cool Down and Review (5 minutes)**:
- Perform some stretching exercises to cool down.
- Ask a few students to demonstrate a jump and describe what they learned.
#### Summary:
- **Science Section**: Understanding water, its meaning, and different sources.
- **PE Section**: Learning and practicing simple jumping techniques.

### Assessment:
- **Observation**: Monitor students' participation and understanding during activities.
- **Group Work**: Evaluate the group charts on sources of water.
- **Skill Assessment**: Check students' jumping techniques and improvement during the PE activity.
### Homework:
- **Science**: Draw a source of water you find at home and bring it to class.
- **PE**: Practice jumping at home with a family member.
### Reflection:
- Assess the effectiveness of the lesson by noting students' engagement and understanding.
- Adjust future lessons based on observation and feedback.
