### Lesson Plan for Physical and Health Education
#### Grade: Junior Secondary 1
#### Topic: Contact and Non-contact Sports
**Duration:** 1 hour
### LESSON OBJECTIVES
- Students will be able to define and distinguish between contact and non-contact sports.
- Students will identify examples of contact and non-contact sports.
- Students will understand the importance of safety in both types of sports.
- Students will participate in basic activities that illustrate the concepts of contact and non-contact sports.
### MATERIALS NEEDED
- Multimedia projector and computer
- Video clips of both contact and non-contact sports
- Chart paper and markers
- Sports equipment (e.g., soccer ball, basketball, tennis ball, shuttlecock)
### LESSON PROCEDURES
#### 1. Introduction (10 minutes)
- **Greeting and Warm-up:** Begin with a short, engaging warm-up activity such as jumping jacks or light stretching.
- **Introduction to the Topic:** Introduce the day's topic by asking students if they can name any sports and categorize them as either contact or non-contact sports.
- **Objective Overview:** Share the lesson objectives with the students so they understand what they will be learning.
#### 2. Instructional Input (15 minutes)
- **Definition and Explanation:**
- Define contact sports: sports where players regularly make physical contact with each other during the course of play (e.g., football, basketball, rugby).
- Define non-contact sports: sports where players do not typically have physical contact during play (e.g., tennis, badminton, track and field).
- **Video Clips:** Show short video clips of both types of sports. Discuss what is happening in each clip and identify elements of contact and non-contact.
- **Safety Discussion:** Discuss the safety measures and equipment used in both types of sports. Emphasize the importance of fair play and following rules to avoid injuries.
#### 3. Group Activity (15 minutes)
- **Group Work:**
- Divide the class into small groups.
- Provide chart paper and markers to each group.
- Have the groups list as many contact and non-contact sports as they can.
- Each group presents their chart to the class.
#### 4. Practical Activity (15 minutes)
- **Sports Demonstration:**
- Set up simple stations for contact and non-contact sports activities (e.g., dribbling a basketball vs. hitting a tennis ball).
- Ensure all students get to participate in each station.
- Rotate the groups through the stations, allowing a few minutes at each one.
- Observe and provide feedback on their participation and understanding.
#### 5. Conclusion (5 minutes)
- **Review:** Recap the key points of the lesson: what contact and non-contact sports are, and examples of each.
- **Q&A:** Open the floor for any questions students might have.
- **Assessment:** Quick formative assessment through verbal questions or a short quiz to gauge understanding.
- **Preview of Next Lesson:** Briefly introduce what will be covered in the next class to build anticipation.
### ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
- **Observation:** Monitor students’ participation in group and practical activities.
- **Group Work:** Evaluate the charts created by the students for accuracy and completeness.
- **Quick Quiz:** A few questions at the end of the lesson to assess understanding (e.g., list two contact and two non-contact sports).
### REFLECTION
- Reflect on what went well and what can be improved for the next lesson.
- Seek feedback from students about what they enjoyed or found challenging.
