**Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology**
**Grade Level:** Primary 2
**Topic:** Energy
**Duration:** 45 minutes
**Objective:** By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Understand and define what energy is.
2. Identify different sources of energy.
3. Recognize the importance of energy in daily life.
**Materials:**
- Pictures of various sources of energy (sun, wind, water, food, etc.)
- A small flashlight
- A toy windmill
- A video clip about energy (2-3 minutes long)
- Chart paper and markers
- Worksheets on energy sources
**Lesson Activities:**
1. **Introduction (5 minutes):**
- Begin the lesson with a simple question, "What do you think helps us move, play, and work?"
- Encourage students to share their ideas.
- Introduce the topic, explaining that today, we will learn about something very important called ENERGY.
2. **Explanation and Discussion (10 minutes):**
- Explain the concept of energy in simple terms: "Energy is what makes things move and work."
- Show the pictures of various energy sources one by one (sun, wind, water, food, etc.) and briefly describe each.
- Use the flashlight to demonstrate electrical energy. Turn it on and off to show how energy makes it work.
- Use the toy windmill to explain how wind can be a source of energy.
3. **Video Clip (5 minutes):**
- Play a short video clip that visually explains different types of energy sources and their uses.
4. **Interactive Activity (10 minutes):**
- Divide students into small groups and provide each group with chart paper and markers.
- Ask each group to draw and color their favorite source of energy and explain why they like it.
- After 5 minutes, let each group present their drawing to the class.
5. **Worksheet Activity (10 minutes):**
- Hand out worksheets that have pictures of various items (e.g., sun, battery, windmill, food) and ask students to match them with their energy sources.
- Walk around the classroom to assist students as needed.
6. **Review and Q&A (5 minutes):**
- Review the key points of the lesson by asking questions like, "Can anyone tell me what energy is?" or "Name one source of energy we learned about today."
- Allow students to ask any questions they might have.
**Conclusion:**
- Summarize the lesson by reiterating that energy is essential for making things move and work, and it comes from various sources like the sun, wind, and food.
- Encourage students to look for energy sources in their surroundings at home and share in the next class.
**Assessment:**
- Evaluating students' understanding through participation in the group activity and the worksheet.
**Homework:**
- Ask students to draw a picture of something at home that uses energy (e.g., a lamp, a fan, food), and write one sentence about where the energy comes from.
**Reflection:**
- Think about what worked well in the lesson and what could be improved for future lessons. Adjust the plan as needed based on student engagement and understanding.
