Lesson Plan for Primary 1 - Basic Science and Technology - Concept Of Technology + Booting + Cleanliness

**Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology** **Grade Level:** Primary 1 **Topic:** Concept of Technology + Booting + Cleanliness --- ### **Objective:** - Understand the basic concept of technology. - Learn the simple process of booting a computer. - Understand the importance of cleanliness and how it relates to technology. --- ### **Materials Needed:** - Flashcards with images (computers, phones, tablets) - A computer or laptop - Cleaning supplies (wipes, cloth) - Printed handouts with pictures related to the lesson --- ### **Lesson Duration:** - **Total Time:** 60 minutes --- ### **Lesson Steps:** #### **1. Introduction to Technology (15 minutes)** **A. Warm-Up (5 minutes)** - Start with a simple question: "What is technology?" - Show flashcards with images of various technological devices (e.g., computers, tablets, phones). - Allow students to share what they think each device does. **B. Explanation (10 minutes)** - Define technology as "tools and machines that help us do things easier and faster." - Explain, with examples, how technology is part of our daily lives (e.g., watching TV, using a calculator, playing video games). #### **2. Booting a Computer (20 minutes)** **A. Introduction (5 minutes)** - Explain that "booting" means turning on a computer. - Show and point to the power button on a computer/laptop. **B. Demonstration (10 minutes)** - Physically demonstrate how to boot a computer: - Step 1: Press the power button. - Step 2: Wait for the computer to start and show the main screen. - Explain that a computer needs time to "wake up" and get ready for use. **C. Hands-On Practice (5 minutes)** - If possible, allow a few students to take turns booting the computer under supervision. #### **3. Cleanliness and Technology (25 minutes)** **A. Discussion (10 minutes)** - Discuss with students why it's important to keep technology clean: - Germs and dust can damage devices. - Clean devices work better and last longer. - Show cleaning materials and explain their use. **B. Demonstration (10 minutes)** - Demonstrate how to properly clean a computer and other devices: - Step 1: Turn off the device. - Step 2: Use a soft, dry cloth or wipes to gently clean the screen, keyboard, and mouse. - Step 3: Avoid using too much liquid to prevent damage. **C. Hands-On Practice (5 minutes)** - Hand out wipes/cloth to students and let them practice cleaning a computer with guidance. #### **4. Review and Wrap-Up (10 minutes)** - Recap the main points of the lesson: - What is technology? - How to boot a computer. - Importance of keeping technology clean. - Allow students to ask questions and provide answers. - Hand out printed materials with pictures that summarize the lesson points. ### **Assessment:** - Observe students’ participation and engagement during hands-on activities. - Ask students to explain the steps of booting a computer and why cleanliness is important for technology. --- ### **Extension Activities:** - Draw and color a picture of their favorite technological device. - Create a "cleaning schedule" chart to take home to remind them to clean their devices regularly. --- By the end of this lesson, students should be able to explain the concept of technology, demonstrate how to boot a computer, and understand the importance of keeping their devices clean.
