### 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 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.

- 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.
