Lesson Plan for Primary 6 - Basic Science and Technology - he Earth And Its Movement + Maintenance Of Sports

**Lesson Plan: Basic Science and Technology** **Grade Level:** Primary 6 **Duration:** 3 Lessons (45 minutes each) --- ### Lesson 1: The Earth and Its Movements **Objective:** - Understand the structure of the Earth. - Learn about the Earth’s movements: rotation and revolution. - Explain how these movements affect day/night and seasons. **Materials Needed:** - Globe or world map - Flashlight - Time-lapse video of day and night cycle - Notebook and pen **Lesson Activities:** 1. **Introduction (10 mins):** - Ask students what they know about the Earth. - Show a globe and explain the basic structure (core, mantle, crust). 2. **Main Lesson (20 mins):** - Discuss the Earth's rotation (spinning on its axis) and revolution (orbiting around the Sun). - Use a flashlight and a globe to demonstrate how rotation causes day and night. - Discuss how the tilt of the Earth's axis and its revolution around the Sun cause seasons. - Show time-lapse video illustrating day/night changes. 3. **Class Activity (10 mins):** - Students will create a simple drawing showing the Earth’s axis and its orbit around the Sun. - Label different parts: equator, poles, and showing day/night sides of the rotating Earth. 4. **Conclusion and Homework (5 mins):** - Recap key points. - Homework: Write a paragraph on why we have seasons. --- ### Lesson 2: Maintenance of Sports Facilities and Equipment **Objective:** - Understand the importance of maintaining sports facilities and equipment. - Learn practical ways to take care of sports gear. **Materials Needed:** - Various sports equipment (e.g. balls, rackets) - Cleaning supplies - Maintenance checklist templates - Notebook and pen **Lesson Activities:** 1. **Introduction (5 mins):** - Discuss why maintenance of sports facilities and equipment is crucial. 2. **Main Lesson (20 mins):** - Explain common sports equipment and facilities (e.g. playgrounds, courts) used in school. - Discuss basic maintenance practices: cleaning, storage, and safety checks. - Demonstrate cleaning procedures using actual sports equipment. 3. **Class Activity (15 mins):** - Divide students into small groups. - Each group observes and notes the condition of provided sports equipment. - Develop a maintenance plan using provided templates. 4. **Conclusion and Homework (5 mins):** - Recap key points. - Homework: Write a list of maintenance tasks they could do for their own sports gear at home. --- ### Lesson 3: Computer Network **Objective:** - Understand what a computer network is. - Learn the basic types of computer networks (LAN, WAN). - Discuss the importance and uses of networks. **Materials Needed:** - Chart paper and markers - Diagrams of a simple network - Computers/tablets with internet access - Notebook and pen **Lesson Activities:** 1. **Introduction (5 mins):** - Ask students if they have used the internet or shared files on different devices. 2. **Main Lesson (20 mins):** - Define a computer network. - Explain types of computer networks: Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). - Illustrate how networks are used in schools, homes, and businesses. 3. **Class Activity (15 mins):** - Draw a simple diagram of a LAN setup in the classroom. - Discuss what devices are connected and how they communicate. - Demonstrate file sharing between two computers if possible. 4. **Conclusion and Homework (5 mins):** - Recap key points. - Homework: Draw and label a simple network diagram of their home or classroom. --- ### Assessment: - Participation during class activities - Accuracy and creativity in drawings and diagrams - Quality of homework assignments ### Additional Resources: - Educational videos on astronomy, maintenance of sports equipment, and computer networks - Science textbooks and online articles **Note:** Adjustments may be made based on student engagement and comprehension levels throughout the lessons. --- **End of Lesson Plan**
