**Lesson Plan for Basic Science and Technology | Primary 5** #### Topic: Changes Around Us + Athletics + Introduction to the Internet --- ### Lesson Duration **Week 1 to Week 4 (4 Weeks)** - **Total Duration:** 4 weeks - **Frequency:** 2 lessons per week - **Duration per lesson:** 60 minutes ### Week 1: Changes Around Us #### Lesson 1: Types of Changes **Objective:** - Identify different types of changes: physical, chemical, and biological. - Understand examples of each type of change. **Materials Needed:** - Pictures or videos of physical and chemical changes. - Classroom objects for demonstration (ice cube, water, salt, baking soda, vinegar). **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Discuss what changes are and types of changes. 2. **Explore (20 minutes):** Show pictures/videos and discuss. 3. **Demonstration (20 minutes):** Perform simple experiments (melting ice cube, mixing vinegar and baking soda). 4. **Discussion (10 minutes):** Have students write down examples of changes they see in everyday life. --- #### Lesson 2: Investigating Changes **Objective:** - Conduct simple experiments to observe changes. - Record observations and infer conclusions. **Materials Needed:** - Notebooks. - Experiment kits (lemon juice, food coloring, baking soda, etc.). **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Review previous lesson. 2. **Experiment (35 minutes):** Group activity to observe changes (lemon juice and baking soda, coloring water with food coloring). 3. **Record (10 minutes):** Write down observations. 4. **Discussion (5 minutes):** Share results and discuss. --- ### Week 2: Athletics #### Lesson 1: Basic Athletics Movements **Objective:** - Learn fundamental movements in athletics (running, jumping, and throwing). **Materials Needed:** - Cones, markers, and jump ropes. - Field or open space. **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Discuss the importance of athletics. 2. **Warm-up (5 minutes):** Basic stretching exercises. 3. **Activities (35 minutes):** - Running drills (15 minutes). - Jumping exercises (10 minutes). - Basic throwing techniques (10 minutes). 4. **Cool-down (5 minutes):** Stretching and breathing exercises. 5. **Wrap-up (5 minutes):** Review what was learned. --- #### Lesson 2: Athletics Practice and Assessment **Objective:** - Practice and refine athletic skills. - Assess improvement. **Materials Needed:** - Same as previous lesson. **Activities:** 1. **Warm-Up (5 minutes):** Stretching exercises. 2. **Skill Practice (40 minutes):** - Run relay races. - Conduct jumping contests. - Organize throwing challenges. 3. **Cool-Down (5 minutes):** Relaxation and breathing exercises. 4. **Assessment (10 minutes):** Informal assessment through observation and feedback. --- ### Week 3: Introduction to the Internet #### Lesson 1: Understanding the Internet **Objective:** - Learn what the internet is and its basic functions. **Materials Needed:** - Computer with internet access. - Projector. **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Discuss the uses of the internet. 2. **Demonstration (20 minutes):** Show how to navigate a basic website. 3. **Group Activity (20 minutes):** Let students explore educational websites. 4. **Discussion (10 minutes):** Q&A session. --- #### Lesson 2: Internet Safety **Objective:** - Understand how to use the internet safely. **Materials Needed:** - Printed materials on internet safety. - Computer and projector. **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Discuss why internet safety is important. 2. **Presentation (20 minutes):** Show a video or slideshow on internet safety tips. 3. **Group Discussion (20 minutes):** Scenario-based role-playing on internet safety. 4. **Review (10 minutes):** Recap important safety rules. --- ### Week 4: Integrating Lessons: Changes, Athletics, and the Internet #### Lesson 1: Review and Integration **Objective:** - Connect the concepts of changes in everyday life to athletics and the internet. **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Review key concepts. 2. **Group Activity (30 minutes):** Discuss how changes can impact athletics (e.g., seasons, weather) and the role of the internet in training and information. 3. **Interactive Session (15 minutes):** Use the internet to find information on recent changes in sports technology. 4. **Conclusion (5 minutes):** Summarize lesson. --- #### Lesson 2: Project-Based Learning **Objective:** - Create a project integrating all three topics. **Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** Explain project objectives. 2. **Group Work (40 minutes):** Students create a project (e.g., poster, presentation) on “Changes and Technology in Athletics.” 3. **Presentation (10 minutes):** Groups present their projects. 4. **Wrap-Up (5 minutes):** Reflect on what they have learned. --- ### Assessment **Methods:** - Participation and engagement during lessons. - Observations and informal feedback during activities. - Group project and presentations. - End-of-week quizzes or reflections. --- ### Homework/Assignments - **Week 1:** Observe and write down different changes at home. - **Week 2:** Practice athletics movements at home. - **Week 3:** Make a safe internet use checklist. - **Week 4:** Complete group project and prepare for presentation. --- ### Resources - Websites: National Geographic Kids, BBC Bitesize, NASA Kids. - Books: Basic science textbooks, Athletics for Kids. - Online safety modules for kids. --- By the end of these 4 weeks, students will have a comprehensive understanding of changes around us, basic athletic principles, and safe internet usage.
