Lesson Plan for Primary 6 - Basic Science and Technology - Change In Climate + Table Tennis + Adobe Photoshop

# Lesson Plan for Primary 6 Students ## Subject: Basic Science and Technology ### Topics: 1. Change in Climate 2. Table Tennis 3. Adobe Photoshop ### Duration: **3 Hours Total** (1 Hour per topic) ### Learning Objectives: - Understand what climate change is, its causes, and effects. - Learn the basic rules and skills of Table Tennis. - Introduction to Adobe Photoshop and its basic tools and uses. ## Lesson Breakdown: ### 1. **Change in Climate (1 Hour)** #### Learning Objectives: - Define climate change. - Identify the causes of climate change. - Discuss the effects of climate change on the environment and human life. - Suggest ways to mitigate climate change. #### Materials Needed: - Whiteboard and markers - Projector - Videos on climate change (downloaded in advance) - Printed handouts - Globe or world map #### Activities: 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** - Briefly discuss weather vs. climate to build a foundation for understanding climate change. - Define climate change with input from students. 2. **Video Presentation (10 minutes):** - Show a short educational video on climate change. 3. **Discussion (10 minutes):** - Discuss the causes of climate change (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation). - Use the globe or world map to illustrate affected areas. 4. **Group Activity (20 minutes):** - Split the class into small groups and give each group a printed handout with questions about the effects of climate change and ways to mitigate it. - Groups will discuss and then present their ideas to the class. 5. **Conclusion (10 minutes):** - Summarize key points. - Q&A session. ### 2. **Table Tennis (1 Hour)** #### Learning Objectives: - Understand the basic rules of Table Tennis. - Learn and practice basic skills: grip, stance, and basic strokes. - Promote physical activity and teamwork. #### Materials Needed: - Table tennis table - Table tennis rackets and balls - Net setup #### Activities: 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** - Briefly explain the history of Table Tennis. - Discuss the basic rules and scoring system. 2. **Demonstration (10 minutes):** - Demonstrate basic skills: grip, stance, forehand, and backhand strokes. 3. **Practice Session (20 minutes):** - Pair students and let them practice the basic skills demonstrated. - Move around and provide guidance and corrections. 4. **Mini-Match Setup (15 minutes):** - Organize mini-matches where pairs can play short games against each other. - Emphasize the importance of fair play and teamwork. 5. **Cool Down and Review (5 minutes):** - Lead a short cool-down exercise. - Review what they learned and encourage them to continue practicing. ### 3. **Adobe Photoshop (1 Hour)** #### Learning Objectives: - Introduction to Adobe Photoshop interface. - Basic tools and their uses (e.g., Move Tool, Brush Tool, Text Tool). - Create a simple project using basic tools. #### Materials Needed: - Computers (one per student or per pair) - Adobe Photoshop installed on each computer - Projector for demonstration #### Activities: 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** - Explain what Adobe Photoshop is and its common uses. - Open Photoshop on the projector and give an overview of the interface. 2. **Tool Demonstration (15 minutes):** - Demonstrate the use of basic tools: Move Tool, Brush Tool, Eraser Tool, Text Tool. - Show how to create a new document, open an image, and use layers. 3. **Hands-On Activity (30 minutes):** - Guide students through a simple project. Example: Create a greeting card. - Students will open a new document, use Text Tool to write a message, use Brush Tool to add decorations, and Move Tool to arrange elements. - Provide individual assistance as needed. 4. **Show and Tell (5 minutes):** - Allow students to present their greeting cards to the class. 5. **Conclusion:** - Summarize key points. - Encourage them to explore Adobe Photoshop more at home. ### Assessment: - Participation in discussions and group activities. - Practical demonstration of table tennis skills. - Completion of the simple project in Adobe Photoshop. ### Follow-Up: - Provide additional resources for students who show interest in the topics. - Assign a small research task on climate change for the next class. - Organize periodic table tennis practice sessions. - Offer a series of follow-up classes for interested students to deepen their skills with Adobe Photoshop. This dynamic lesson plan aims to engage Primary 6 students in diverse aspects of learning, combining science, physical education, and technology to cultivate a well-rounded educational experience.
