### Lesson Outline
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greetings and Warm-up:**
- Welcome students and briefly discuss the day's topic.
- Quick review of the five senses.
2. **Hook:**
- Show students a magnifying glass and ask what it is and how it helps us see better.

**Body of Lesson (40 minutes):**
**Section 1: The Sense of Sight (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation:**
- Discuss the importance of sight.
- Explain basic parts of the eye using diagrams (e.g., pupil, iris, lens).
- Discuss how eyes help us see and interpret the world.
- **Activity:**
- Let students look through magnifying glasses at different objects.
- Ask students to describe what they see and how it changes their perception.
**Section 2: Introduction to Analog Computers (10 minutes)**
- **Explanation:**
- Define an analog computer in simple terms.
- **Demonstration:**
- Show a simple abacus and explain how ancient civilizations used it to do calculations.
- If available, show a slide rule or simple balance scales. Explain how they provide a connection to today's digital calculators and computers.
- **Activity:**
- Let students practice simple counting on the abacus.
**Section 3: Movement of Body Parts (15 minutes)**
- **Explanation:**
- Discuss different body parts – hands, legs, head, and their movements.
- Use an anatomical chart for visual aid.
- **Activity:**
- Show flashcards with different activities (e.g., running, jumping).
- Ask students to identify the body parts involved in each activity.
- **Movement Exercise:**
- Conduct a simple “Simon Says” game focusing on moving different body parts.

**Conclusion (10 minutes):**
1. **Recap:**
- Review the key points about sight, analog computers, and body movements.
- Ask students questions to reinforce their learning.
2. **Q&A:**
- Allow students to ask questions and clarify doubts.
3. **Homework:**
- Ask students to draw and label the parts of the human eye.
- Encourage them to observe different body movements at home and write down which parts are involved.
---
**Assessment:**
- Monitor participation during activities.
- Prompt feedback through Q&A sessions.
- Review homework for understanding and completeness.
---
**Extension Activity:**
- Optional: Set up a simple science corner where students can explore simple analog computing devices and human body models throughout the week.
This structured lesson plan makes learning interactive and integrates multiple aspects of science and technology, catering to the curiosity and learning style of primary school students.
