### Basic Science and Technology Lesson Plan: Weather + Football + Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint #### Class: Primary 4 #### Duration: 1 Hour #### Topic: Weather + Football + Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint --- ### Objective: 1. **Science**: Understand the basic concepts of weather and its elements. 2. **Physical Activity**: Relate weather conditions to playing football. 3. **Technology**: Learn the basics of Microsoft PowerPoint and create a simple presentation. ### Materials Needed: - Computer with Microsoft PowerPoint installed - Internet access for weather updates - Pictures of different weather conditions - Football or soccer ball for demonstration - Projector/Interactive whiteboard - Handouts on weather and PowerPoint basics ### Lesson Breakdown: #### Introduction (10 minutes) 1. **Greetings and Settling Down**: - Greet students and have them settle in their seats. - Briefly recap any previous lessons related to weather, sports, or technology. 2. **Objective Overview**: - Explain today’s objectives: understanding weather, relating it to football, and an introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint. #### Step 1: Understanding Weather (15 minutes) 1. **Discussion**: - Ask students questions: What is weather? Can you name some types of weather conditions (sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, etc.)? - Discuss how weather affects our daily lives and activities. 2. **Visuals and Explanation**: - Show pictures of different weather conditions using a projector or interactive whiteboard. - Briefly explain each weather condition. 3. **Interactive Activity**: - Ask students how each type of weather would affect playing football. For example, ask: - How would playing football feel on a sunny day versus a rainy day? #### Step 2: Linking Weather to Football (10 minutes) 1. **Football and Weather**: - Discuss how weather influences football games; for example, rain might make the ground slippery, affecting how players run and kick the ball. 2. **Practical Demonstration**: - Show a football and do a brief, safe demonstration (inside the classroom) of how different conditions (e.g., pretending the floor is slippery) might affect playing. #### Step 3: Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint (20 minutes) 1. **Basic Explanation**: - Briefly explain what Microsoft PowerPoint is used for: creating slideshows and presentations. 2. **Step-by-Step Guide**: - Using the projector/interactive whiteboard, demonstrate how to: - Open Microsoft PowerPoint. - Create a new presentation. - Add a title slide. - Add content slides (e.g., one slide for sunny weather, one for rainy weather). 3. **Interactive Exercise**: - Have each student (or pairs if computers are limited) create a simple 3-slide presentation: - Slide 1: Title Slide - “Weather and Football.” - Slide 2: A picture and brief description of one type of weather. - Slide 3: How football is played in that weather. #### Conclusion (5 minutes) 1. **Review and Recap**: - Briefly review the key points of the lesson: different types of weather, how weather affects football, and the basics of PowerPoint. 2. **Question and Answer**: - Open the floor for any questions from students. 3. **Homework/Extension**: - Ask students to think about different weather they can experience in their daily lives and make a two-slide PowerPoint on one weather type and its effects on activities other than football. #### Assessment: - Observe students during the interactive exercises to gauge their understanding. - Check the completed PowerPoint presentations to ensure they grasped the basic skills. --- ### Notes: - Adjust the lesson timings based on the students' pace and any technical difficulties. - Ensure all students are engaged, especially during the interactive parts. - Provide assistance for any students struggling with the technology aspect.
