Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Basic Science and Technology - Bones

### Lesson Plan: Introduction to Bones **Grade Level**: Nursery 1 (Ages 3-4) **Subject**: Basic Science and Technology **Duration**: 30 minutes **Topic**: Bones --- #### Objectives: - **Cognitive**: Students will identify basic body parts supported by bones. - **Psychomotor**: Students will be able to point to and name major bones like the skull, ribs, and legs. - **Affective**: Students will develop an appreciation for the role bones play in their bodies. --- #### Materials: - Chart/Poster of the human skeleton - Picture books about the human body - Toy skeleton or bone model - Songs or rhymes about bones - Coloring sheets of a skeleton - Crayons and markers - Stickers (bones or star-shaped for rewards) --- #### Introduction (5 minutes): 1. **Greeting and Warm-Up**: - Welcome the students warmly. - Sing a familiar warm-up song to get them engaged. 2. **Theme Introduction**: - Show a picture book or a chart with the human skeleton. - Ask the children if they know what bones are and what they do. - Briefly explain that bones are like the building blocks inside our bodies that help us stand, move, and protect important parts inside us. --- #### Main Activities (15 minutes): 1. **Story Time**: - Read a short, engaging picture book about the human body that highlights bones. - Ask simple questions afterward to check comprehension. Examples: “What helps us stand up straight?” “Do you remember the special hard things inside our bodies?” 2. **Interactive Demonstration**: - Show the toy skeleton or a bone model. - Point to major bones like the skull, ribs, legs, and arms. - Encourage children to point to their own skull, ribs, and legs as you say the names. 3. **Action Song**: - Teach the children a simple song or rhyme about bones, like “Dem Bones” simplified for their age. - Encourage them to touch the body parts mentioned in the song (e.g., head, knees). --- #### Hands-On Activity (5 minutes): 1. **Coloring Activity**: - Distribute a skeleton coloring sheet to each student. - Provide crayons and markers. - Allow children to color their sheets while reiterating the names of the bones. 2. **Stickers and Rewards**: - As children complete their coloring, place a bone or star-shaped sticker on their sheet as a reward. - Praise them for their hard work and listening skills. --- #### Conclusion (5 minutes): 1. **Review and Recap**: - Gather the children in a circle. - Ask a few simple questions to review what they learned (e.g., “Can anyone show me where your skull is?”). 2. **Goodbye Song**: - Sing a goodbye song with the children. - Remind them to tell their parents about the bones they learned today. --- #### Follow-Up: - **Home Connection**: Send a note home or a copy of the coloring sheet for children to share with their parents what they learned. - **Reinforcement**: In the following days, revisit the topic by asking simple questions about bones during other activities or read another book related to the human body. --- **Assessment**: - Observe if students can point to their own bones as named. - Check their engagement and participation in the activities. - Note their ability to recall names of major bones during the review session.
