Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Basic Science and Technology - Colour Identification Ii + Swimming

Lesson plan for Basic Science and Technology for Primary 1 students with the topics "Colour Identification II" and "Swimming". **Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology** **Grade Level:** Primary 1 **Duration:** 60 minutes **Topic:** Colour Identification II + Introduction to Swimming **Objectives:** - Students will be able to identify and name primary and secondary colors. - Students will learn basic concepts of swimming and water safety. **Materials Needed:** - Visual aids with primary and secondary colors. - Colorful objects (crayons, toys, fruits, etc.). - A color wheel. - Water safety posters or visual aids. - A shallow container of water (optional for practice). **Lesson Outline:** **Introduction (10 minutes):** 1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:** - Greet the students and engage them in a quick warm-up activity. Ask the students to name any colors they already know. - Show a video or tell a short story that involves many colors. Discuss the colors they saw. 2. **Review of Primary Colors:** - Briefly review the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) using vibrant flashcards or objects (such as a red apple, blue book, yellow banana). **Main Content (30 minutes):** **Part 1: Colour Identification II (15 minutes)** 1. **Introduction to Secondary Colors:** - Explain what secondary colors are (green, orange, purple) and how they are made by mixing primary colors. - Use a color wheel and mix colors to demonstrate how secondary colors are formed. 2. **Interactive Activity:** - Play a color mixing game. Provide mixing paint or colored water (in safe, manageable containers) for students to try mixing primary colors to see which secondary colors they can create. - Alternatively, use color mixing apps on tablets or laptops. 3. **Color Identification Exercise:** - Show various objects to the students and ask them to identify the colors. Use a mix of primary and secondary colors. - Have a quick quiz or color scavenger hunt where students find objects of specific colors in the classroom or from provided images. **Part 2: Introduction to Swimming (15 minutes)** 1. **Introduction to Swimming Basics:** - Explain the concept of swimming and its importance for health and safety. - Show pictures or short video clips of people swimming, emphasizing proper techniques and the joys of swimming. 2. **Water Safety:** - Discuss basic water safety rules (never swim alone, stay in designated areas, listen to lifeguards, etc.). - Show water safety posters and discuss the images. 3. **Interactive Demonstration:** - Using a shallow container of water, show how to float (using small toys to represent people). - Discuss how to wear a life jacket properly, using visual aids or actual life jackets if available. **Conclusion (10 minutes):** 1. **Recap and Q&A:** - Summarize the topics covered: primary and secondary colors, basic swimming, and water safety. - Ask the students questions to check their understanding. For example, “What do you get when you mix red and blue?” or “Why is it important to have a buddy while swimming?” 2. **Homework/Follow-up Activity:** - Give students a worksheet with pictures of different objects. The task is to color them using primary and secondary colors. - Encourage students to create a drawing or collage that includes a scene with water, emphasizing safety aspects discussed in class. 3. **Closing:** - Thank the students for their participation and enthusiasm. - Encourage them to practice identifying colors at home and discuss swimming safety with their parents or guardians. **Assessment:** - Observation during interactive activities. - Responses during Q&A sessions. - Evaluation of worksheets or drawings submitted as homework. **Notes:** - Always ensure activities involving water, even in small amounts, are closely supervised for safety. - Adapt the timeline as necessary based on students' engagement and understanding.
